What is Cantilever Racking
Cantilever racking provides unobstructed access and storage for long, heavy, and unusually shaped materials. This racking is great for both interior and exterior applications and is constructed with a series of arms, uprights, and braces that extend from the frame to support open-concept design.
This open design allows easy storage of varying lengths of materials such as piping, lumber, steel, and much more. It also provides forklifts with easy access for unloading and loading.
Additionally, the modular nature of the racks makes it easy to expand upon.
Key Features
Durable
Cantilever racks are highly durable. Galvanized or powder-coated models are corrosion-resistant, making them excellent for outdoor storage.
Heavy-duty
Due to their construction, cantilever racks can support heavier loads than standard pallet racking.
Storage Flexibility
The simple design and structure of cantilever racking make it easy to adjust arms allowing for flexibility in what is stored on the rack. The style of the rack also allows for items of various lengths to be stored, providing more versatility.
Unobstructed Access
With an open access point, forklifts and personnel can easily load and unload materials on the cantilever rack.
Cantilever Racking Options
Cantilever Racking comes in two major forms. No matter what form you choose, these solutions can be outfitted as single-sided or double-sided systems!
Structural
Structural cantilever racking is a much more durable solution that can be constructed to be much taller than its roll-formed counterpart. It can also carry heavier loads. If placed outside, cantilever racking can be outfitted with a roof or canopy solution to keep materials on the rack from being exposed to harsh weather such as rain or snow.
Roll-Formed
Roll-formed cantilever racking is typically lighter, making it much less damage-resistant to strikes such as forklift accidents. This option can be much more cost-effective as it is a cheaper alternative to structural, while still providing enough capacity for many different storage applications.
