Handling & Use Requirements

Equipment must be used within rated load capacities and installed on suitable warehouse flooring. Improper loading, uneven distribution, or use outside intended applications can result in structural failure.

Inspect all shipments upon delivery and note any freight damage before signing. Installation and final configuration should be verified by qualified personnel to ensure safe operation.

Delivery & Freight Shipping

All equipment ships via LTL or dedicated freight carriers and is delivered curbside or dock-high depending on facility setup. Liftgate service is not included unless specifically requested at the time of quote.

You are responsible for unloading the shipment and must have appropriate equipment (forklift or dock access) available at delivery. Failure to meet delivery requirements may result in re-delivery fees.

Inspect all items upon arrival before signing the Bill of Lading. Any visible damage must be noted at delivery—claims cannot be processed after acceptance without documentation.

Lead times vary based on product type, configuration, and supplier availability. You will receive confirmation of estimated ship dates after order review.

Description

Cantilever Rack Storage for Long and Bulky Materials

Designed for storing long materials such as lumber, pipe, tubing, bar stock, and building materials that cannot be stored efficiently on traditional pallet racking or shelving systems. This cantilever rack starter kit includes the structural components needed to assemble a complete cantilever storage section for warehouse, manufacturing, distribution, and industrial storage applications. Do not use cantilever racks for standard palletized inventory that requires front beam support.

Available in both single-sided and double-sided configurations, these cantilever systems provide open-front forklift access for loading and unloading long or oversized inventory.

Designed For

  • Lumber storage
  • Pipe and tubing storage
  • Bar stock storage
  • Carpet roll storage
  • Building material storage
  • Manufacturing material staging
  • Industrial warehouse storage
  • Long and oversized inventory

Choose Single-Sided or Double-Sided

  • Single-Sided Cantilever Rack: Single-sided cantilever racks are designed for wall placement where storage access is only required from one side.
  • Double-Sided Cantilever Rack: Double-sided cantilever racks are designed for center-row layouts where forklift access is required from both sides of the rack system.

Key Features

  • Open-Front Storage Design: Cantilever rack systems eliminate front upright obstruction, allowing forklifts to load and unload long materials more efficiently than standard pallet racking.
  • Heavy-Duty Structural I-Beam Construction: Structural steel cantilever components provide rigid industrial storage support for long and bulky materials.
  • 144" Upright Height with 3 Arm Levels: Provides multiple storage elevations while maintaining open access for material handling equipment.
  • Expandable Cantilever Rack Layout: Additional uprights, arms, and bracing can be added to extend storage rows when facility layouts allow for future expansion.
  • Single- or Double-Sided Configurations: Supports both perimeter-wall storage layouts and center-row warehouse storage configurations.

What’s Included

  • 2 cantilever upright frames
  • 48" base supports
  • 2 bases for single-sided systems
  • 4 bases for double-sided systems
  • 48" cantilever arms
  • 3 arm levels
  • Structural cantilever bracing available in 48", 60", or 72" configurations
  • Cantilever stop pins
  • Rack anchors for floor securing

Cantilever Rack System Components

  • Base Supports: The base assembly anchors the rack system to the floor and stabilizes the upright structure under load.
  • Upright Columns: Upright frames provide the vertical support structure and allow cantilever arms to be positioned across multiple storage levels.
  • Cantilever Arms: Cantilever arms create the horizontal storage levels used to support long inventory.
  • Structural Bracing: Horizontal and diagonal bracing improves system rigidity and overall rack stability.
  • Stop Pins: Stop pins secure cantilever arms to the uprights and help prevent arm displacement during operation.

Operational Considerations

Cantilever rack systems should be configured around material length, load weights, forklift access, aisle widths, ceiling clearances, expansion requirements, and loading direction.

Double-sided systems increase storage density but require center-row forklift accessibility. Single-sided systems are typically installed against walls or facility perimeters.

Final load verification, anchoring, and layout review should be completed before installation in high-capacity industrial storage environments.

Do Not Use When

  • Storing standard palletized inventory requiring front load beams
  • Storing unsupported point loads beyond engineered capacities
  • Installing on unverified concrete surfaces without proper anchoring
  • Using damaged arms, braces, or uprights
  • Operating without required forklift aisle clearances

Need a Larger Cantilever Rack Layout?

Talk with a warehouse equipment specialist to configure multi-row cantilever layouts, arm spacing, row lengths, and storage capacity requirements before quoting larger warehouse storage systems.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What materials are cantilever racks designed to store?

Cantilever racks are designed for long materials such as lumber, pipe, tubing, bar stock, and carpet rolls. Do not use cantilever systems for standard palletized inventory requiring front beam support.

Should I choose single-sided or double-sided cantilever racks?

Use single-sided cantilever racks against walls or perimeter layouts. Use double-sided systems for center-row storage where forklifts require access from both sides.

Can cantilever racks be expanded later?

Cantilever systems can be expanded with additional uprights, arms, and bracing if the original layout allows for future extension. Expansion planning should be considered before initial installation.

Are cantilever racks anchored to the floor?

Cantilever rack systems should be anchored to verified concrete surfaces using appropriate rack anchors. Unanchored systems should not be used in industrial storage environments.

What happens if cantilever racks are overloaded?

Overloading cantilever arms or uprights can cause structural failure, arm deflection, or rack instability. Load capacities should be verified before storing heavy or uneven materials.
