Heavy Duty Cantilever Lumber Racks

Load capacity ranges from 500 kg to several tons per arm, depending on arm length, spacing, and structural configuration. Capacity should always be verified against the manufacturer's engineering specifications and never exceeded to maintain structural integrity and worker safety.

Yes, cantilever racks can be built as single-sided units against a wall or double-sided units for center-aisle storage. Double-sided configurations maximize storage density in warehouses with limited floor space while maintaining open access from both sides for forklift or crane loading.

Yes, the open-front arm design of cantilever racks is specifically engineered to allow forklifts and overhead cranes to load and unload long materials without obstruction, streamlining material handling operations and reducing loading time compared to enclosed rack systems.

These racks are constructed from heavy-duty steel, including columns, arms, and horizontal and diagonal bracing, using screwed connections for assembly. This steel construction provides the structural strength needed to support heavy, long-span loads over extended periods of use.

Base anchors are used to secure the rack's base to the floor, preventing tipping under load. Regular inspections of bases, arms, screws, and structural components are also recommended to maintain stability and identify wear or damage before it becomes a safety issue.

Yes, arms are adjustable to accommodate different load sizes and can be reconfigured as storage needs change. This flexibility allows a single rack system to handle varying lengths of lumber, pipe, or profile stock without requiring a complete redesign of the storage structure.
