Cantilever rack is the perfect solution for storing outsized, elongated or non-standard products like carpet rolls, sheet rock or lumber. It allows you to store bulky products with greater efficiency and in much larger quantities.

While most goods flow through distribution channels on conventional pallets, there are many outliers. For many manufacturers, there are some products that simply can’t possibly fit on a pallet. Whether it’s drywall, building materials, steel goods, furniture or other items that are long, bulky or non-uniform in shape, a few goods are just difficult to store.

Cantilever rack can address this issue. It enables you to stock awkward products more compactly and in larger quantities. Rather than stacking products in a storage yard or on a warehouse floor, you can take advantage of vertical space.

Vertical storage can also enable you to inventory a broader variety of products, since you can easily pick an item off of a cantilever row in place of maintaining dedicated stacks of specific goods.

Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack

Cantilever style racks are far different than typical pallet racks. Cantilever is anchored with a steel base that is fastened to a vertical steel beam. The vertical pillar has perpendicular extensions mounted at different levels to hold products. Cantilever racks can support an astonishing amount of weight. Some cantilever configurations can maintain capacities of nearly 20,000 pounds per level.

Single Sided Cantilever Rack vs Double Sided

Almost all cantilever storage systems provide variations for one sided cantilever to be stationed near walls, and two sided shelving that can be set up in aisles.

One major benefit to cantilever rack is its capacity to be easily adjusted. As your business needs change, you can easily change arm heights and sections.

A supplementary convenience is that the open configuration of cantilever rack gives your forklifts easy reach to items that are generally challenging to manage. As an added benefit, open racks enable increased visibility, allowing employees to track down items quickly and easily.

Which Industries Use Cantilever Racks?

While many types of businesses have some long or bulky kinds of goods, there are some industries that predominantly use cantilever rack:

• Building Supply: wood, sheetrock, ducting and plywood are some building products that are bulky and difficult to store.
• Manufacturing: many manufacturing businesses use steel bar stock, tubing, sheet metal and other long or bulky materials in their assembly processes.
• Energy: the petroleum industry uses a lot of piping, drilling equipment and steel stock.
• Home Accessories: carpeting, flooring materials, stone slabs and larger pieces of furniture are all good examples of large, unwieldy goods that are challenging to store.
