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.

OUR CANTILEVER RACKS & STORAGE SYSTEMS:

Cantilever Racking System
  • 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.

CANTILEVER RACK TYPES AND USES

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.

Storage Racks Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is a cantilever?

    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.

  • Should I use a structural or roll-form rack?

    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.

I love working with them. We have used them for our racking needs for years. As our business grows they continue to offer great service, are detailed oriented, and always have what we need. Little far up on the north side from where we are but worth the drive.
