Cantilever rack is the ideal solution for stocking large, long or odd sized items like flooring rolls, plywood or pipe. It enables you to store oversized products in a more efficient manner and in far greater quantities.

Although the vast majority of goods pass through the supply chain on standard size pallets, there are quite a few exceptions. In many situations, there are certain products that just can’t possibly fit on a standard pallet. Whether it’s drywall, building materials, piping, furniture or additional products that are bulky, long or non-uniform in shape, certain goods are just difficult to store.

Cantilever rack can address this issue. It permits you to stock bulky goods more compactly and in greater numbers. In place of just stacking products on a warehouse floor or in a storage yard, you can use vertical space.

Vertical storage can also enable you to inventory a larger assortment of items, as you can easily pull an item off of a cantilever tier as opposed to maintaining individual stacks of specific items.

Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack

Cantilever racks are not at all like standard pallet racks. Cantilever is anchored with a steel base that is mounted to an upright steel beam. The upright has perpendicular extensions mounted at different levels to store items. Cantilever racks can support an astonishing amount of weight. Many cantilever systems can maintain capacities of up to 20,000 lbs per level.

Single Sided Cantilever Rack vs Double Sided

The majority of cantilever solutions have choices for one sided racking to be positioned near walls, and two sided racking that can be arranged in aisles.

One major advantage to cantilever rack is its ability to be readily re-engineered. In the event your needs change, you can easily readjust row heights and sections.

A supplementary advantage is that the open layout of cantilever rack gives your lift trucks free reach to products that are often challenging to manage. Additionally, having open racks provides for greater visibility, allowing workers to track down products rapidly and efficiently.

Industries Where Cantilever Racks Are Used

Although most industries have at least a few long or bulky kinds of products, there are some types of businesses that make extensive use of cantilever:

• Construction: lumber, sheetrock, metal or plastic piping and plywood sheets are just a few building products that are bulky and troublesome to store.
• Production: many fabrication facilities use steel tube and bar stock, sheet metal and other elongated or oversized components in their production processes.
• Energy: the petroleum industry has requirements to store drilling equipment, piping and steel stock.
• Home Accessories: roll carpeting, flooring materials, stone slabs and larger pieces of furniture are all good examples of large, unwieldy items that are difficult to store.
