Cantilever rack is the perfect solution for storing big, lengthy or odd sized items like carpet rolls, sheet rock or pipe. It enables you to store bulky products in a more efficient manner and in much larger quantities.

Although nearly all goods move through warehouses on conventional pallets, there are quite a few outliers. In many situations, there are some items that just can’t be loaded onto a standard pallet. Whether it’s sheetrock, lumber, bar stock, carpeting or something else that’s bulky, long or oddly shaped, certain products are just difficult to find a place for.

Cantilever rack solves this problem. It enables you to warehouse unwieldly goods more compactly and in greater quantities. In place of just stacking products in a storage yard or on a warehouse floor, you can use vertical space.

Using vertical storage also permits you to stock a broader assortment of products, since you can easily pull a product off of a cantilever tier as opposed to maintaining individual stacks of specific items.

Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack

Cantilever style racks are far different than typical pallet racks. Cantilever is anchored with a steel foot that is fastened to an upright steel beam. The beam has horizontal arms mounted at different levels to keep products. This cantilever configuration can bear a surprising amount of weight. Many cantilever configurations can maintain capacities of more than 20,000 pounds per level.

Single Sided Cantilever Rack vs Double Sided

The majority of cantilever solutions provide options for one sided shelving to be positioned near walls, and double sided shelving that can be configured in aisles.

A key benefit to cantilever rack is its capacity to be readily adjusted. As your business requirements fluctuate, you can easily readjust row heights and sections.

An additional advantage is that the open configuration of cantilever rack allows your forklifts easy access to products that are generally difficult to handle. In addition, an open racking structure permits increased visibility, allowing workers to find products quickly and easily.

Cantilever Racks For Specific Industries

Although most industrial categories have at least a few large or awkward types of goods, there are some industries that predominantly use cantilever rack:

• Building Supply: lumber, drywall, piping and plywood sheets are just a few construction materials that are awkward and challenging to store.
• Manufacturing: many fabrication businesses use steel bar stock, tubing, sheet metal or plate steel and other long or oversized components in their production processes.
• Oil & Gas: the petroleum industry makes use of drilling equipment, piping and steel stock.
• Home Furnishings: roll carpeting, flooring, countertops and large furniture pieces are all good examples of bulky, unwieldy goods that are difficult to store.
