Easy handling of cantilever rack
The TELEKANT rack is a product which helps to address the issues of storage of bars in mechanical engineering and locksmith operations. Storage of metal profiles in their standard length of 6 or 12 meters is a relatively complex task, in particular due to difficult handling in storage. TELEKANT cantilever rack with extendable arms allows safe manipulation of long profiles by crane. It is designed and intended for this type of operation.
In manufacturing operations, where there is a need to have greater range of profiles in smaller quantities, such items are stored in ordinary cantilever racks. These racks are proven technologies, which provide sufficient protection and accessibility of stored units.
However, they have a major disadvantage. It is forbidden to service them by crane. For safety reasons, they must be serviced by a forklift, even if a crane is available. The stowing by forklift requires a relatively large area near the rack for access and manipulation.
Due to the ability to service the cantilever rack with a crane, up to 80 percent of the current handling area can be changed into a productive area. The TELEKANT rack can be installed in less accessible places or in close proximity to machinery that processes the stored material. Also, the level of safety as well as speed and comfort when handling the profiles by crane is substantially higher.
The TELEKANT rack brings new operational possibilities as well. The area of the rack’s storage plane can be divided by separating spikes. This will create two (or three) narrow sections on the rack‘s storage level where several types of material can be visibly and separately stored with one hundred percent accessibility to each. The same applies to effective management of residual materials and significant leftovers. In reality, their storage and subsequent processing is hardly carried out responsibly. Through accessible and well-arranged debris storage, the TELEKANT rack helps to increase the efficiency of the management of input materials and significantly affects the tidiness in the working area for processing profiles.
Cantilever rack with extendable arms TELEKANT is a modular construction kit. The rack set is designed according to the size and weight of handled units, spatial options, and the nature of the stored material. The new value of the rack for the operator, are telescopic shelf brackets with pull-out storage levels. The operator uses a hand crank to control the pull-out operation. Working with the pull-out mechanism is easy even at full load capacity of the storage plane. The rack can be one or two-sided. The maximum rack configuration allows storing profiles for up to 12 m long, with a beam weight up to 10 tons.
