Heavy Duty Cantilever Racks for Sheet Metal Storage

Single-sided cantilever racks are anchored against a wall and accessed from one side, ideal for facilities with limited space. Double-sided racks feature arms on both sides of a central column, allowing access from either aisle and maximizing storage density in open warehouse areas with higher throughput needs.

Yes, cantilever racks are built with customizable height, width, and arm length to accommodate different sheet metal dimensions and load sizes. Adjustable arms allow configurations to be modified as inventory needs change, providing flexibility for varying material lengths and stacking requirements.

Yes, cantilever racks are designed with open-access arms that allow forklifts and overhead cranes to load and unload material directly without obstruction from vertical columns. This open design streamlines material handling and reduces the time needed to retrieve or store long or bulky sheet metal items.

Yes, base anchors are required to secure cantilever racks to the floor and prevent tipping, especially under heavy or unevenly distributed loads. Proper anchoring, combined with horizontal and diagonal bracing, ensures structural stability during loading, unloading, and daily warehouse operations.

Regular inspections of bases, arms, screws, and structural bracing are recommended to catch wear, damage, or loosened connections early. RackUSA also offers ongoing maintenance programs including safety audits and rack repair to keep systems compliant and operating safely over their service life.

RackUSA is an MHI member company and its storage systems carry MHI R-Mark Certification, verifying that racking designs meet recognized structural and safety standards. This certification gives buyers confidence that the cantilever racks meet industry benchmarks for load capacity and durability.
