Project Overview
This project was delivered for a long-material warehouse in Poland, designed for the storage and automated handling of steel profiles and industrial long goods.
The system combines cantilever storage racks and beam racks with stacker crane and conveyor integration, providing an efficient solution for long material warehousing.
Project Specifications
- Location: Poland
- Industry: Industrial Materials / Metal Processing
- Warehouse Area: 550 m²
- System Type: Cantilever AS/RS
- Racking Height: 7 m
- Storage Levels: 5–10 levels
- Total Storage Positions: 162
- Max Load Capacity: 1.5 tons per position
Customer Challenge
The customer faced several challenges in storing oversized long materials:
- 6-meter long products requiring specialized storage
- Heavy unit loads up to 1.5 tons
- Need for automated infeed and outfeed
- Limited warehouse footprint
- Requirement for stable and safe long-goods handling
Traditional floor stacking resulted in low space utilization and difficult material retrieval.
Our Solution
We designed a hybrid cantilever AS/RS system combining cantilever racks and beam racks.

- L3700 × D800 × H6900
- 3 beam levels
- 7 sets
- 1,500 kg + reinforced base beam
Material Specifications
Stored goods include:
- 3300 × 800 × 700 mm
- 6000 × 800 × 300 mm
Among them:
- 95 positions dedicated to 6000 mm long materials
Automated Handling Desig
Long materials are stored on the cantilever side.
For inbound and outbound operations:
- stacker crane handling
- bottom beam conveyor line transfer
- automated transport in and out
This design significantly improves handling efficiency and reduces manual labor.
Key Project Highlights
- Specialized storage for 6-meter long goods
- Hybrid cantilever + beam rack structure
- 1.5-ton heavy-duty load capacity
- Integrated stacker crane and conveyor line
- High-density vertical storage
Results & Operational Valu
After implementation, the warehouse achieved:
- improved storage density
- safer long-goods handling
- automated inbound / outbound flow
- reduced floor stacking risks
The system now supports stable industrial material operations.
Why This Project Matters
This project demonstrates our capability in delivering cantilever AS/RS solutions for long industrial materials, especially where both load capacity and automated handling are critical.
The hybrid structure allows customers to balance storage flexibility and automation efficiency.
