How to Choose Cantilever Racks
Choosing the right cantilever rack depends on the length, weight, and type of material being stored, along with warehouse layout and forklift access requirements. Cantilever racks are commonly used for storing long materials such as lumber, steel pipe, tubing, sheet metal, bar stock, furniture, and construction materials that cannot be efficiently stored on traditional pallet racks.
Single-sided cantilever racks are commonly installed against walls, while double-sided systems maximize storage access in open warehouse aisles. Adjustable arm systems help accommodate different product sizes and changing inventory requirements. Heavy-duty cantilever racks are ideal for higher-capacity industrial storage applications requiring additional strength and durability.
Common Cantilever Rack Applications
Cantilever racks are commonly used in warehouses, lumber yards, manufacturing facilities, metal fabrication shops, construction supply operations, distribution centers, and industrial storage environments. They help improve organization, material accessibility, warehouse efficiency, and safe storage of oversized materials.
