Common rack types include cantilever, pallet, pallet shuttle, carton-flow, pallet-flow, push-back, drive-in, drive-through, and rack-supported systems. Cantilever Rack is intended for long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items such as pipes, beams, profiles, bars, lumber, furniture, and sheets, with single- or double-sided configurations.

Industrial metal racks are typically manufactured from steel. RackUSA’s Cantilever Rack uses heavy-duty steel construction with columns, arms, horizontal and diagonal bracing, and screwed connections. Base anchors secure the rack to the floor, while adjustable arms and customisable dimensions help accommodate different load sizes and storage requirements.

Metal shelving can include industrial shelving, pallet racking, cantilever shelving, carton-flow shelving, and other specialised configurations. Selection depends on item dimensions, load requirements, access needs, and handling equipment. Cantilever Rack provides open access and adjustable arms for storing long or irregularly shaped products in warehouse and manufacturing environments.

Cantilever racks are suited to long, bulky, and irregularly shaped items. RackUSA identifies applications including pipes, beams, profiles, bars, lumber, structural profiles, furniture, and sheets of various sizes. The open-access design supports straightforward loading and unloading, while adjustable arms allow configurations to accommodate different load sizes.

Cantilever racking should be installed with base anchors to secure it to the floor and help prevent tipping. RackUSA recommends regular inspections of bases, arms, screws, and structural components. Operators should not exceed the manufacturer’s recommended weight capacity per arm. Technical support, safety audits, repairs, relocation, and maintenance programs are available from RackUSA.
