Cantilever Racks: Designed for Better Accessibility and Efficiency

What Is Cantilever Rack Shelving?

 

Cantilever racks are storage solutions that are critical in many facilities and warehouses. The cantilever rack design suspends materials and allows easy product access without front vertical obstructions. The design allows for storing odd and long-shaped materials and maximizes any area's storage potential. If you want accessible, efficient, customizable structures ideally suited to store irregular shapes that are also cost-efficient, cantilever racks are exactly what you're looking for.

 

What Cantilever Rack Shelving Does Differently

 

Cantilever racking is designed to maximize vertical storage space in warehouses, lumber yards, storage facilities, and other industrial workspaces. Single or double-sided cantilever racks are available in various sizes, weight capacities, and arm options. Starter and add-on units allow storage racks to be configured to meet various industrial needs. A big plus is that because cantilever racks offer multiple storage levels, they create more floor space throughout any facility.  

 

 

Types of Cantilever Rack Shelving

 

There are two types of cantilever rack shelving. Single-sided is recommended for affixing to a wall or anchor to the ground for safety and security. And double-sided systems. Double-sided cantilever racks are joined back to back with a center column. While double-sided cantilever racks are self-balancing, it’s important to place equal weight on both sides of the rack to ensure stability. And no matter your needs, there’s a racking system designed to fit them. Steel cantilever racks, metal cantilever storage racks, and racks ranging from medium to heavy-duty cantilever racking are all available.
