What Are Cantilever Racking Systems Best Suited For?

A business’ storage capacity, floor area, horizontal and vertical space, and efficiency are all affected bythe storage solutions utilised by your in your warehouses or distribution centres. While pallet racks are

common in modern warehouses, they are ineffective for loads that are lengthy, oddly shaped, or

uncomfortable. Built to accommodate big, unwieldy, long, or bulky loads, a cantilever racking system is a fantastic alternative to a typical pallet racking system that is more suited for storing unitized loads.

What is a Cantilever Rack?

Cantilever racks are ideal for storing loads that are lengthy or oddly shaped. Warehouses, lumber yards,

and cold storage facilities all use cantilever rack systems, which are suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. 

These racks consist of a vertical column or support, a base, the arms or the cantilevers, and cross

bracings. Industrial cantilever racks come in single as well as double-sided configurations, allowing you

to expand your warehouse's storage capacity. Single-sided racks only have cantilevers extended to one

side, and, as the name suggests, double-sided cantilevers extend out to two sides.

Where cantilevers systems are used

For bulky items, cantilever racking is a perfect versatile storage solution option. They are perfect for the

industrial storage of large objects due to their flexibility and robustness. The following products are

commonly stored on cantilever racks:

Metal sheets and other metal materials 

Steel pipes, tubing, heavy bar stock, and aluminium and steel sheets can all be stored on cantilever racks. As a cantilever rack system has no decking, there is no vertical restriction, allowing for flexible storage and direct access to goods.

Cantilevers eliminate floor stacking, giving your warehouses more storage space. Depending on how

it is adjusted, the cantilever rack arms can also hold loads of various sizes.

Lumber and other building materials

Sheets and lengthy beams that require heavy-duty shelving are some components that are odd-shaped

and sized among building supplies. For such materials, cantilever racks are ideal for offering quick access

to building materials while keeping warehouse operations running smoothly.

 

Rolls of fabric 

Fabric rolls, such as rolled carpeting and rugs, can be difficult to store in standard storage systems. Due to there being fewer limits on horizontal space an item can occupy on the rack, cantilevers are ideal for storing rolled fabrics. Cantilevers are also devoid of decking. Decks  may harm the fragile materials of fabrics. As the fabrics are kept off the warehouse floor with cantilevers, they are protected from the accumulation of dust, moisture, and other contaminants.
