Cantilever rack is the ideal solution for stowing outsized, long or non-standard goods like carpet rolls, sheet rock or lumber. It allows you to store oversized products in a more efficient manner and in much larger quantities.

While most goods move through the supply chain on conventional pallets, there are several outliers. For many manufacturers, there are some items that simply can’t possibly fit on a pallet. Whether it’s sheetrock, lumber, piping, furniture or something else that’s long, bulky or oddly shaped, a few items are just problematic to find a place for.

Cantilever rack is the answer to this dilemma. It allows you to warehouse bulky items in less space and in greater amounts. Instead of simply stacking items in a storage yard or on a warehouse floor, you can fully utilize vertical space.

This also allows you to maintain a larger selection of items, as you can just pick a product off of a cantilever row in place of maintaining dedicated stacks of different goods.

Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack

Cantilever style racks are not at all like standard pallet racks. Cantilever is anchored with a steel base that is attached to an upright steel beam. The beam has horizontal arms mounted at different levels to keep products. This cantilever configuration can bear an extraordinary amount of weight. Certain cantilever configurations can maintain loads of nearly 20,000 lbs per level.

Single Sided Cantilever Rack vs Double Sided

The majority of cantilever storage systems provide variations for one sided racking to be stationed near walls, and double sided shelving that can be arranged in aisles.

An important benefit to cantilever rack is its ability to be easily reconfigured. In the event your needs change, you can easily modify cantilever sections and heights.

An additional benefit is that the open configuration of cantilever rack gives your forklifts unfettered access to products that are sometimes challenging to handle. As an added benefit, an open racking structure permits increased visibility, allowing workers to track down items rapidly and efficiently.

Cantilever Racks For Specific Industries

Although most types of businesses have a handful of long or bulky kinds of items, there are a few industries that predominantly use cantilever rack:

• Construction: wood, drywall, metal or plastic piping and plywood sheets are just a few building products that are awkward and challenging to store.
• Manufacturing: lots of fabrication businesses use steel tube and bar stock, steel plate and other elongated or bulky components in their production processes.
• Petroleum: the energy industry has requirements to store piping, drilling equipment and steel stock.
• Household Goods: roll carpeting, flooring, stone slabs and large furniture pieces are all good examples of bulky, unwieldy goods that are challenging to store.
