Cantilever Racking Systems
Home / Products / Racking Products / Cantilever Rack
Cantilever racking is designed to easily store and retrieve products with varying weights, lengths, and sizes. Cantilever racking systems do not require uprights, allowing for easy product accessibility and selectivity paired with high down-aisle density. With a variety of arm options, cantilever systems can provide a full range of loading capabilities that can be customized to your storage application.
How It Works
Cantilever racking is ideal for storage of products that typically cannot be stored on pallets, although it is possible to store traditional pallets.
Cantilever racking is ideal for long or bulky items such as lumber, furniture, and plumbing because the system allows for easy product accessibility for heavy and lengthy items.
Advantages of Cantilever Racking
Cantilever racking systems provide many advantages to warehouse operations. When implemented with the correct operation, cantilever racking can provide a large benefit to the operation.
- Easy instillation, deconstruction and reconfiguration as needed
- High versatility
- Allows rack to be adjusted to varying heights
- Holds products with widths larger than the rack
- Easy to adjust height of arms to meet the needs of particular product load
- Increases employee productivity due to products being highly accessible
