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.
Since cantilever racks use beams or arms rather than shelves, it is easy to adjust the height, angle, and position 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.
Cantilever racks, also known as lumber racks or pipe racking, are heavy-duty storage racks meant to hold long, bulky items that would otherwise be difficult to store in standard pallet racking. One of the biggest advantages to using cantilever racks in your warehouse is the easy access they provide. The open design of cantilever racking allows excellent line-of-sight to find items more easily and accurately.
Cantilever racks are made with large, sturdy columns supporting horizontal arms with horizontal and vertical braces. These long cantilever beams are perfect for stacking and storing large pieces of:

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.
