Storing long materials like steel beams, aluminium extrusions, and industrial piping presents a distinct spatial challenge. Traditional storage methods require massive, open driving lanes so that forklifts can approach cantilever racks head-on to pull out 6-meter or 12-meter bundles. This leaves a massive amount of valuable plant floor space underutilised.
The Upmoviom RP Side Extraction Storage System provides an innovative architectural solution to this problem. By storing long profiles in a high-density, honeycomb locker configuration and utilising side-extraction tracking, this system minimises necessary aisle widths. It allows steel service centres, manufacturing plants, and maintenance facilities to safely organise and access their inventory within a fraction of the traditional footprint.
How the Side Extraction Gliding System Works
Instead of lifting materials upward or pulling them forward into a wide aisle, the Upmoviom RP system stores profiles on rugged internal support carriages that glide smoothly outward from the side of the racking tower. When a specific material is required, the operator unlocks the designated level and pulls the cassette horizontally along high-durability linear guides.
This lateral layout gives an operator immediate access to individual pieces or full bundles without relying on heavy overhead cranes or complex forklift maneuvering. Material can be picked directly from the side, significantly reducing cycle times and eliminating the risk of material damage or workplace bending injuries.
Industrial Specifications & Custom Layout Adaptability
- Tailored Material Profiling: Ideal for high-density storage of carbon steel, stainless steel, iron, copper, and titanium in the form of heavy tubes, channels, angles, solid rounds, and structural profiles.
- Heavy Tonnage Performance: Engineered to safely hold high-capacity structural weight distributions, with individual levels comfortably supporting loads up to 3,000 kg or more depending on client specifications.
- Turnkey Length Adaptability: Custom-built to handle long products ranging from compact 2-meter bars up to standard industrial 12-meter structural packages.
- Built-in Safety Locks: Outfitted with robust mechanical locking elements that completely prevent accidental tray movement or shifting during loading operations.
Seamless CNC Processing Integration & Immediate ROI
The Upmoviom RP side extraction storage architecture acts as a mechanical bridge between your inventory and your production machinery. By placing these honeycomb bar racks directly adjacent to high-speed CNC bandsaws, structural beam drilling lines, or robotic plasma coping cells, you create an optimised supply line that keeps machine spindles running with minimal dead time.
Built from premium, wear-resistant structural steel with zero automated components to service, this system offers maintenance-free reliability and exceptionally fast capital amortisation.
We Customise Each Project According to Your Needs
Upmoviom delivers completely customised, turnkey storage systems engineered around the unique physical constraints and column layouts of each industrial facility. By offering a highly versatile, modular system, they allow fabricators to pursue a “step-by-step” progressive investment model, scaling and expanding their high-density vertical storage racks in phases that align directly with active operational growth and budgets.
