Cantilever Racks

We offer a wide range of cantilever racking systems, with pricing and capacity specifications varying based on material. Our inventory includes cantilever shelves constructed from roll-formed steel, which is known for its strength and economical design. We also have structural racks with bolted connections that are a little more challenging to install but equally strong. We even offer heavy-duty structural I-beam cantilever racking for storing the heaviest warehouse loads.

All of our cantilever racking systems offer full frontal access. No upright columns getting in the way. Our shelves are ideal for storing long items like dimensional lumber, siding, sheet goods, pipe, and steel tubing. All of our cantilever racks for sale basically have 3 primary components: single or double-sided towers that include stackable bases, arms, and brace panel sets (or X-Bracing) that join towers together in a row. Single-sided styles are installed against a wall and accessed from only one side, whereas double-sided styles are placed in the middle of the floor and accessed from both sides.

Safety and Strength for Industrial Applications

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) general storage regulations demand that all items stored on tiers be properly secured to protect against collapse. Cantilever pallet racks are also governed by ANSI MH16.3-2016 standards, which cover the design, testing, and use of these systems.

Regardless of your industry, making sure your storage systems are up to standard is a critical part of maximizing safety and efficiency. Common industrial applications that apply include:

  • Lumber yards: Proper storage is crucial to prevent warping and damage to valuable inventory. Heavy-duty cantilever storage racks provide the stable, horizontal support needed to keep wood straight and accessible.
  • Pipe suppliers: These professionals need to organize a vast inventory of different diameters and lengths. High-quality cantilever pallet racking allows for clear categorization and easy retrieval of pipes of any size.
  • Metal distributors: Safety and strength are paramount for heavy steel beams and rods.

The Expert Engineering Behind Effective Cantilever Pallet Racking

Having a deep understanding of the engineering principles behind heavy-duty cantilever storage racks is essential to ensure each system delivers its best possible performance. Safety, durability, and efficiency are all critical considerations to make.

Warehouse Rack & Shelf provides a comprehensive solution by combining our industry expertise with our commitment to customer service.

Load Capacity Engineering

The integrity of a cantilever system hinges on its load capacity. Rigorous engineering assessments help ensure the arm strength and column stability of your cantilever pallet racking system can manage your heaviest loads with a significant safety margin.

Configuration Guidance

We provide detailed space calculations to help you determine the optimal aisle width for your forklifts and material handling equipment, supporting a safe and efficient workflow. Single-sided racks are ideal for maximizing wall space in smaller warehouses, while double-sided systems offer the highest storage density in larger facilities.

Arm Spacing and Style Optimization

We offer expert guidance on arm spacing optimization for various material types, keeping your products fully supported. We also offer both straight and inclined arms. Straight arms are ideal for stable loads like lumber and sheet goods, while inclined arms provide extra security for round or cylindrical items like pipes and rods, preventing them from rolling off.

Structural vs. Roll-Formed Racking

We offer both structural and roll-formed heavy-duty cantilever storage racks. Structural cantilever, made from hot-rolled C-channel steel, is the superior choice for heavy-duty applications, outdoor use, and situations where forklift impact is a concern. Roll-formed racking, made from cold-rolled steel, is a cost-effective and versatile solution for lighter loads and is easily adjustable.

Installation Specifications

Our expertise extends to both indoor and outdoor installations. For outdoor warehouse cantilever racking, we provide detailed specifications for galvanizing and other weather-resistant finishes to protect your investment from the elements and maximize its longevity.
