Cantilever Racking

Dynamic loads are best stored in cantilever racking

Cantilever shelving, or cantilever racking, is an excellent solution for storing irregular shaped products or pallets. Product types such as pipes, lumber, and furniture are common. For better protection of your products, these high-tensile structural steel racking systems are remarkably strong and feature an adjustable arm length for easy loading. They maximize floor space by providing unrestricted front access, ensuring zero obstruction when storing items of various shapes and lengths. Its unique design accommodates heavy items ensuring safety and convenience. Using lift truck forks for easy handling, cantilever racking systems are highly adaptable, allowing warehouses to utilize both vertical and horizontal space. Optimized for indoor and outdoor use, cantilever racking can be customized for specific warehouse dimensions, enhancing organization and space utilization.

Columns

Cantilever racking is available as single- or double-sided units. Typically placed against walls, single-sided systems offer storage and access from one side, making them the ideal solution for maximizing limited space. Comparatively, double-sided units allow you to access and store items on both sides, doubling storage capacity and making it suitable for central warehouse placement.

Arms

Cantilever racking arms are constructed in various lengths to accommodate light to heavy-duty products. With three styles available, including straight, inclined, and axle, each design is tailored to suit specific storage needs. The bolted arms feature a straightforward bolt-on mechanism, enabling easy conversion and repositioning. This flexibility is essential for adapting to inventory changes, ensuring efficient front-loading and optimal performance in cantilever racking systems.

Bracing

Cantilever rack braces, essential for rack stabilization and sway prevention, come in various designs, widths, and lengths ranging from 8 to 25 feet. They are crucial for expanding, repairing, or constructing new racks, ensuring each system is tailored to specific storage needs and maintains structural integrity.

Robust Options

Cantilever racking systems cater to a wide range of storage needs: light-duty for small items, medium-duty for moderately heavy goods, and heavy-duty for large, bulky items. Each offers durable, customizable storage solutions, ensuring efficient space utilization and convenient access across varying weight categories.

Light-Duty

Light-duty cantilever racking systems are designed to efficiently store lightweight products. Comprised of vertical and horizontal beams and arms, these are perfect for storing items such as small pipes, molding, or trim, while maintaining optimal flue space. Light-weight cantilever racking systems are ideal for warehouses with minimal capacity and require low variability of product shape and size.

Medium-Duty

Medium-duty cantilever racking systems, constructed similarly to light-duty racks, are designed for loads of medium-weight. These systems are tailored to store items that need to be stored and retrieved using forklifts, such as hardware, appliances, and furniture. Striking a balance between capacity and accessibility, they cater to various warehouse storage requirements, accommodating varying shapes and sizes.

Heavy-Duty

Heavy-duty cantilever racking systems, with durable beams, and flat or tapered arms for easy loading, are built for substantial weights. Optimized for storing large, heavy items such as steel bars, timber, or pre-fabricated products. Handled with lift trucks, stackers, and mobile cranes, these heavy-duty systems provide high-capacity storage solutions, adaptable to diverse shapes and sizes, ensuring efficient use of floor space.
