Traditional cantilever and stacked storage systems impose major operational liabilities on modern steel service centres and fabrication plants: severe floor space waste, slow overhead crane dependency, material surface damage, and elevated risk of operator injury during lateral pick maneuvers.
The Upmoviom LM Long Products Storage System changes this paradigm completely. By engineering a synchronised framework focused on front-extraction logistics, this system turns high-volume material handling into an ergonomic, fast-paced vertical matrix. It provides structural steel service centres and distributors with the ability to safely manipulate tubes, solid bars, angles, and laminates individually or in full bundles while maximising active square meter floor utilisation.
How the Front Extraction Gliding Mechanism Works
At the core of the Upmoviom LM system are custom-designed storage pockets adapted directly to your facility’s vertical height limits. Inside each structural bay rests a high-rigidity internal gliding support on which raw stock is placed. When pulling an order, the operator glides the support out smoothly along precision mechanical tracking guides. This frontal access completely avoids top-extraction crane slinging or the dangerous side-swing maneuvers required by traditional cantilevers, allowing a single storeman to safely slide out and pick heavy materials without physical strain.
Advanced Technical Additions & Multi-Tier Expansion Features
- Scalable Weight Capacities: Standard configurations comfortably manage 3,000 kg per pocket. For heavy industrial profiles, adding an extra interior sliding support increases the weight allowance up to a massive 6,000 kg per pocket.
- Integrated Interior Custom Trays: For thin-wall or high-value materials susceptible to bowing or scratching (such as solid rounds < 12 mm or angular stainless sections), specialised overlapping double trays and internal reference splitters protect stock integrity and organise drops.
- Double-Sided Accessibility Options: The system can be engineered for dual-sided operation, allowing raw stock bundles to be loaded from the delivery warehouse side and extracted directly from the production floor side.
- Top Warehouse Mezzanine Integration: Maximise building volume by adding an integrated upper warehouse deck on top of the column matrix. Capable of supporting up to 8 tons per column, it can be finished with a standard grid mesh or heavy tread-plate floor to manage palletised inventory, containers, or full reserve packages.
Measurable Logistics ROI and Turnkey Project Execution
Transitioning to the Upmoviom industrial bar storage system delivers a massive financial hedge against floor constraints. The layout saves over 50% of the square footage required by traditional cantilever configurations for the exact same volume of material, effectively doubling your current facility storage capacity.
Furthermore, order picking cycle times drop by up to 80% compared to legacy racking, providing the immediate throughput speed required to supply high-speed CNC drill saw lines and advanced robotic coping cells. Delivered as a 100% turnkey installation, Upmoviom handles everything from custom engineering design to final structural assembly and operator training.
