Cantilever rack is the ideal storage equipment for stowing large, lengthy or odd sized items like flooring rolls, plywood or steel. It allows you to store bulky goods with greater efficiency and in much larger quantities.

While nearly all products move through distribution channels on standard size pallets, there are many outliers. In many situations, there are certain items that just won’t fit on a standard pallet. Whether it’s drywall, building materials, piping, carpeting or additional products that are bulky, long or non-uniform in shape, some goods are just problematic to find a place for.

Cantilever rack solves this problem. It permits you to warehouse awkward goods more efficiently and in greater numbers. Instead of simply stacking items in a storage yard or on a warehouse floor, you can fully utilize vertical space.

Using vertical storage also permits you to maintain a broader assortment of products, since you can simply pick an item off of a cantilever level as opposed to maintaining individual stacks of individual products.

Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack

Cantilever racks are far different than typical pallet racks. Cantilever is supported by a steel foot that is mounted to an upright steel beam. The vertical pillar has horizontal extensions mounted at different levels to store products. Cantilever racks can support an extraordinary amount of weight. Certain cantilever configurations can support loads of nearly 20,000 pounds per level.

Single Sided Cantilever Rack vs Double Sided

Almost all cantilever storage systems have options for one sided cantilever to be stationed near walls, and two sided racking that can be arranged in aisles.

An important benefit to cantilever rack is its ability to be freely adjusted. As your business needs change, you can easily readjust row heights and sections.

An additional convenience is that the open design of cantilever rack allows your forklifts easy reach to items that are generally difficult to handle. In addition, an open racking structure permits increased visibility, allowing workers to locate products quickly and easily.

Cantilever Racks For Specific Industries

While many industries have some large or awkward types of goods, there are some industries that predominantly use cantilever rack:

• Construction: lumber, gypsum board, ducting and plywood are just a few building products that are bulky and troublesome to store.
• Production: lots of manufacturing facilities use steel tubing, bar stock, sheet metal and other long or bulky components in their production processes.
• Energy: the oil industry has requirements to store piping, drilling equipment and steel stock.
• Home Accessories: roll carpeting, flooring materials, countertop slabs and furniture are all good examples of oversized, awkward goods that are difficult to store.
