Honeycomb Racking System: Organized Storage for Long Steel Materials

The honeycomb racking system is a modern solution for long steel materials. It divides storage into individual compartments. Each material has a dedicated slot. This makes retrieval safe, fast, and organized.

Advantages  

1. Organized Storage
   Each material has its own compartment. This reduces clutter and makes it easy to locate items.

2. Safe for All Material Types
   Round bars, tubes, angles, and profiles stay secure in their slots. Materials do not fall during retrieval.

3. Efficient Partial Retrievals
   You can remove single items without disturbing others. This improves workflow.

4. Flexible Layout
   Compartments can be sized for different material lengths and profiles.

5. Improved Space Utilization
   Vertical stacking maximizes floor space while keeping items accessible.

6. Platform or Mezzanine Ready
   You can build a platform on top of the honeycomb rack. This adds extra storage or working space without increasing warehouse footprint.

Disadvantages 

1. Higher Initial Cost
   Building individual compartments requires more material and labor.

2. Less Flexible for Irregular Sizes
   Very unusual or oversized materials may not fit standard compartments.

3. Limited for Extremely Heavy Items
   Compartments may need reinforcement for very heavy steel beams or rods.

4. Maximum Height Limitation
   According to CUNKE’s current design, honeycomb racks can store materials up to 7 meters. Taller storage may require other solutions.

Honeycomb racking system provide organized, safe, and efficient storage for long steel materials. Each material has a dedicated compartment, reducing clutter and improving workflow. Platforms can add storage or working space without using extra floor area. While initial costs are higher and unusual sizes may require adjustments, the system ensures safe partial retrievals and maximizes space.
