Advantages of Cantileve Racking Systems
Cantilever racking is a specialized warehouse storage system featuring vertical columns and horizontal arms without front uprights. This open design allows forklifts to load and unload long materials easily without obstruction.
It is commonly used in lumber yards, steel warehouses, plumbing supply facilities, and manufacturing operations that store pipe, tubing, sheet goods, and oversized materials.

F.A.Q.
Common questions about cantilever racking, cost, installation, and warehouse applications.
What is cantilever racking used for?
Cantilever racking is used to store long, bulky, or irregularly shaped materials such as lumber, pipe, steel bars, and sheet goods that cannot be stored efficiently on pallet racking systems.
How does cantilever racking work?
Cantilever racks consist of vertical columns with horizontal arms extending outward. Materials are placed directly on the arms, allowing easy forklift access without front obstructions.
What are the benefits of cantilever racking?
Cantilever racking improves organization, maximizes vertical storage space, and provides safe, efficient storage for long and heavy materials.
Is cantilever racking suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Heavy-duty structural cantilever racking systems can be designed for outdoor storage applications when properly engineered and protected.
How much does cantilever racking cost?
The cost of cantilever racking depends on column height, arm length, load capacity, and installation requirements. Structural systems designed for heavy loads typically require a higher investment but provide long-term durability and safety.
