Cantilever rack is the ideal solution for stowing big, long or odd sized items like carpet rolls, sheet rock or pipe. It permits you to store oversized products with greater efficiency and in much larger quantities.

Although nearly all goods move through warehouses on standard size pallets, there are many exceptions. In most industries, there are a few items that just can’t possibly fit on a standard pallet. Whether it’s gypsum board, building materials, steel goods, carpeting or other items that are long, bulky or oddly shaped, some products are just tough to find a place for.

Cantilever rack is the answer to this dilemma. It permits you to stock awkward products in less space and in larger amounts. Rather than stacking products in a storage yard or on a warehouse floor, you can take advantage of vertical space.

Using vertical storage also permits you to stock a larger selection of items, as you can just retrieve a product off of a cantilever row as opposed to maintaining different stacks of different goods.

Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack

Cantilever racking is not at all like standard pallet racking. Cantilever starts with a steel foot that is fastened to an upright steel beam. The upright has horizontal arms mounted at different levels to store items. Cantilever racks can bear an astonishing weight capacity. Some cantilever systems can support capacities of nearly 20,000 lbs per arm.

Single Sided Cantilever Rack vs Double Sided

Almost all cantilever solutions have choices for single 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 capacity to be easily adjusted. As your business requirements fluctuate, you can easily readjust arm sections and heights.

An additional advantage is that the open layout of cantilever rack gives your forklifts free reach to products that are sometimes challenging to handle. Additionally, open racks enable increased visibility, allowing workers to locate products rapidly and efficiently.

Cantilever Racks For Specific Industries

While many types of businesses have a handful of long or awkward types of products, there are some types of businesses that predominantly use cantilever rack:

• Building Supply: wood, sheetrock, piping and plywood are just a few construction products that are awkward and difficult to store.
• Manufacturing: lots of fabrication facilities use steel bar stock, tubing, sheet metal and other elongated or oversized materials in their manufacturing processes.
• Oil & Gas: the oil industry makes use of piping, drilling equipment and steel stock.
• Home Accessories: roll carpeting, flooring, countertop slabs and larger pieces of furniture are all good examples of large, unwieldy goods that are challenging to store.
