Our Cantilever Racks & Storage Systems

So much warehouse space is wasted by horizontal storage. Posts, columns, and shelving can needlessly take up a large portion of your usable storage area. If you need to store oddly-shaped and sized items, such as pre-packaged lumber or pipes, cantilever racks provide advantages that conventional shelving simply cannot match.

  • Hold Hard-to-Store Items, such as lumber, steel pipes, tubing, & more

  • Utilize Vertical Space to get the most out of your warehouse
  • Provide Flexible Design to customize your storage system for your needs

Since cantilever rack uses arms, rather than beams, it is easy to change the height level of the arms. Depending on the size of your storage load, you can even add more cantilever arms to increase holding capacity. This reduces handling time and allows you to get more done in less time. When you can configure your racks exactly as you need them, stock is more accessible, enhancing productivity and accuracy across the board.

Storage Racks Frequently Asked Questions

A cantilever is an inflexible metal structure that is supported on one end, while stretching outward horizontally on the other end. It usually extends out from a strong vertical support like a wall or storage system.

A warehouse roll-form rack system is the racking of choice for light and medium storage, while on the other hand a structural rack is often the preferred solution for higher density and thicker applications. Structural racks are thicker and the heavier construction offers improved resistance to impact from forklifts entering and exiting the racks.

Cantilever Installation Instructions

  • Attach base to the column with 4 long bolts. Add the back anchoring kickplate to the column with the same long bolts. Use flat washer in front in front and locking washer in back in front of nut.
  • Add arms to the column with 4 M20 (3/4") bolts with locking washer in back next to nut. Repeat on all columns.
  • Stand the column and secure with a forklift while standing the 2nd column.
  • Install the 4 horizontals. Horizontals attach to the columns with 4 M12 bolts. The bolts are shared with a common column. Make sure to add the nut for the common M12 bolt while standing second column for stability, you will need to remove the nut when adding the 3rd column.
  • Install the 2 x-brace sets with 5 M12 bolts (4 on each corner and 1 in the middle).

  • Make sure system is level and add anchors. 2 anchors per base + 1 per kickplate in the back. Stagger the anchoring (example: front left/middle right/kickplate left).
