About Cantilever Racks

Cantilever racks offer a distinct advantage over selective racks with their unique design—vertical steel posts paired with heavy-duty horizontal arms. These arms support loads efficiently, enabling the storage of long, irregularly shaped non-conforming items without the obstruction of front posts. Additionally, their adaptable structure accommodates products of varying shapes, sizes, and materials, ensuring exceptional durability even for heavy loads.

How Does Cantilever Racking Enhance Warehouse Storage Efficiency?

Cantilever racking is engineered for quick, safe access to long and bulky loads. Its modular design enables double-sided storage, maximizing warehouse space while allowing direct access to items without rearranging previously stored inventory. Additionally, its structure supports easy assembly and accommodates forklifts and cranes, streamlining loading and unloading while reducing operational costs for handling large-volume products.

What Are the Advantages of Cantilever Racking?

Cantilever racking offers several advantages, making it an ideal storage solution for long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items. Whether you’re managing a warehouse or a manufacturing facility, cantilever racking provides an efficient and robust storage solution! Here are some key benefits:

Unobstructed Storage

Unlike traditional racking systems with front posts, cantilever racks provide open access, allowing for easy loading and retrieval.

Versatility

Ideal for storing lumber, pipes, furniture, or sheet materials of varying sizes and weights.

Space Optimization

The modular design allows for single- or double-sided storage, maximizing warehouse space efficiently.

Enhanced Accessibility

Items can be accessed directly without moving others, streamlining operations.

Adaptability

Adjustable arms accommodate different load sizes, offering flexibility in storage configurations.

Ease of Handling

Designed to work seamlessly with forklifts and cranes, simplifying loading and unloading processes.

Durability & Strength

Built with heavy-duty steel construction, ensuring stability even for oversized loads.

Components & Accessories

Cantilever racking includes essential components and accessories that boost functionality, adaptability, and efficiency in warehouse storage. Here’s a breakdown of the essentials:

Key Components:

Vertical Columns (Uprights)

The main support structure, providing stability and weight-bearing capacity.

Bases

Attached to the bottom of uprights, ensuring balance and securing the system to the ground.

Arms

Extend horizontally from uprights, holding the stored items. They come in various lengths and load capacities.

Bracing

Used to connect uprights for added structural integrity. Can be horizontal or diagonal, depending on load requirements.

Common Accessories:

Arm Stops

Prevent items from rolling or slipping off the arms.

Decking Panels

Used to create a continuous surface for storing smaller or irregularly shaped items.

End Protectors

Provide extra protection to uprights from forklift impact.

Column Guards

Reinforce the structure against collisions and enhance durability.

Adjustable Arms

Allow customization for different load sizes and storage needs.

Cantilever Rack Labels

Assist in inventory management and organization.

Recommended Safety Measures

To ensure proper use and safe operation of RACK USA cantilever racks, we recommend:

Providing continuous training for personnel on safe heavy-load handling and equipment use.

Conducting regular inspections to check the integrity of components, especially arms and posts.

Monitoring load capacity per arm, avoiding exceeding the manufacturer’s recommended weight limit

Specifications & Features

Cantilever racking is designed with several safety features to ensure stability, protect stored items, and minimize workplace hazards. These features ensure that cantilever racking remains a safe, efficient storage solution for warehouses and industrial environments. Here are some key safety features:
Heavy-Duty Steel Construction

Provides robust support for heavy and bulky loads.

Bolted Connections

Secure uprights, arms, and braces for structural integrity.

Base Anchors

Keep the racking firmly attached to the floor, preventing tipping or shifting.

Arm Stops

Prevent items from sliding off the arms, reducing the risk of falling objects.

Column Guards & End Protectors

Shield uprights from forklift or machinery impact.

Load Capacity Labels

Help maintain safe weight distribution by clearly displaying maximum load limits.

Bracing Systems

Horizontal and diagonal braces enhance stability and prevent away.

Adjustable Arms

Allow for proper weight distribution and secure storage of different-sized items.

Staff Training

Workers must be trained in system operation to ensure compliance with current safety regulations.

Regular Maintenance

Periodic inspections are necessary to check rollers, bearings, and other essential components.

Load Capacity

Avoid exceeding the recommended weight capacity for each rack to prevent overload and structural damage.
