Heavy Duty Pipe Storage Cantilever Racks
Cantilever racking is a storage system designed to storage odd-shapedmaterials such as pipe,lumber,tubes,furniture, and fabric rolls. They are are made for light duty to heavy duty applications. Using cantilever rack also puts hard-to-store material into an orderly storage system where they are more accessible and easier to track.
Advantages
Relativity easy to install and reconfigure
The most efficient way to store long and flat materials.
Can be used as single and double sided storage
Can store products vertically up to 6 meters high.
Cantilever Racking Systems - Three Basic Components
Cantilever Rack Accessories
Bolt-On Pipe Sockets:
Ideal for situations where the 2" high lips will not suffice, the bolt-on pipe socket allows the user to add a stop (non-load bearing) to the end of their arms at the height they need. Like the bolt-on lips, these field installed pipe sockets can be added or removed as conditions change. The socket has a inside diameter of 1-3/8", the pipe socket does not come with any pipe, it must be purchased separately. The pipe socket is not intended to bear any portion of the load.
Wire Mesh Decking:
Add wire mesh decking to your cantilever rack to create an uninterrupted storage shelf for lighter materials such as cardboard and long cartons. The wire decks straddle the arms and can be added after your cantilever rack has been installed. Perfect for inside use, wire decks also allows for air and water circulation.
Drop-In Deck Supports:
These deck supports allow the user to create a solid shelf using plywood for small objects suck as boxes, cartons, etc...The deck supports are pre-engineered to accept 2 x 4 cross members to support the plywood deck. These items require field installation.
Steel Decks:
As the name infers, steel decks create a strong cantilever shelf for storage of shorter heavy dies and other industrial equipment that will not span the length b/w your arms. Steel decks can create an uninterrupted steel storage shelf for multiple uses. Perfect for creating lumber racks and much more.
Roof Supports:
Turn any cantilever rack system into a covered storage unit. Roof supports can be added to single or double sided cantilever uprights. Please note that adding roof supports can significantly reduce the overall capacity of your system due to snow and wind loads, we will custom design and engineer the supports to comply with local wind and snow conditions.
Choosing Between Single-Sided and Double-Sided Cantilever Racking: Which Is Right for You?
When selecting a cantilever racking system, understanding the differences between single-sided and double-sided options is crucial.
Single-Sided Cantilever Racks
Single-sided cantilever racks are designed to be placed against walls, making them ideal for maximizing wall space in your warehouse. This configuration is perfect for storing items in tight or confined spaces.
Double-Sided Cantilever Racks
Double-sided cantilever racks are configured in aisles, allowing access from both sides. This setup maximizes storage density and accessibility, making it ideal for larger warehouses with more space.
Key Benefits of Cantilever Racking
Adjustable Arms
One of the standout features of cantilever racks is their adjustable arms. This flexibility allows you to easily modify the height and spacing of the arms to accommodate changing inventory needs.
Unrestricted Access
The open design of cantilever racking provides forklifts with easy access to stored items. This feature is particularly beneficial for managing large, awkwardly shaped items.
Improved Visibility
The open structure also enhances visibility, enabling workers to quickly and efficiently locate items, which can improve overall productivity.
Cantilever racking systems, whether single-sided or double-sided, offer significant advantages in terms of adjustability, accessibility, and visibility. By choosing the right configuration, you can optimize your storage space and improve operational efficiency.
