Cantilever rack is the ideal solution for stocking outsized, elongated or odd sized items like flooring rolls, plywood or lumber. It allows you to store oversized goods in a more efficient manner and in much larger quantities.

Although the vast majority of goods move through warehouses on ordinary pallets, there are quite a few exceptions. In many situations, there are a few products that just can’t possibly fit on a standard pallet. Whether it’s drywall, lumber, bar stock, furniture or additional products that are long, bulky or oddly shaped, certain products are just tough to store.

Cantilever rack can address this issue. It enables you to stock unwieldly products more compactly and in larger quantities. Rather than stacking goods in a storage yard or on a warehouse floor, you can fully utilize vertical space.

Vertical storage can also enable you to inventory a greater selection of goods, as you can simply pick an item off of a cantilever row instead of maintaining different stacks of different goods.

Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack

Cantilever racks are far different than typical pallet racking. Cantilever is supported by a steel foundation that is mounted to a vertical steel beam. The upright has horizontal arms mounted at different levels to store goods. Cantilever racks can hold a surprising weight capacity. Certain cantilever configurations can maintain loads of up to 20,000 pounds per level.

Single Sided Cantilever Rack vs Double Sided

Almost all cantilever solutions have choices for single sided cantilever to be positioned near walls, and double sided shelving that can be set up in aisles.

A key benefit to cantilever rack is its capacity to be easily re-engineered. As your business requirements fluctuate, you can easily change row sections and heights.

An additional convenience is that the open design of cantilever rack permits your forklifts unfettered reach to products that are generally tricky to manage. As an added benefit, open racks enable greater visibility, allowing employees to find items without any problem.

Cantilever Racks For Specific Industries

Although most types of businesses have some long or bulky sorts of items, there are some types of businesses that make extensive use of cantilever:

• Construction: lumber, gypsum board, piping and plywood are just a few building materials that are awkward and challenging to store.
• Manufacturing: countless manufacturing facilities use steel bar stock, tubing, steel plate and other long or outsized components in their production processes.
• Energy: the energy industry has requirements to store piping, drilling equipment and steel stock.
• Home Furnishings: roll carpeting, flooring, stone slabs and large furniture pieces are all good examples of bulky, unwieldy goods that are not easy to store.
