What is cantilever racking?

Cantilever racking uses upright columns with projecting arms and no front column, so long or awkward loads can be stored full-length from the aisle.

What loads is cantilever for?

Long or irregular loads such as pipe, lumber, board stock, tubing, and furniture that will not sit on standard pallet beams.

Single-sided vs double-sided cantilever?

Single-sided units load from one face (often against a wall). Double-sided units store from both sides of a shared upright row. Layout and access determine which fits.

Cantilever Racking

Open-arm storage with no front column, built for long or awkward loads that will not sit on standard beams — pipe, lumber, board stock, tubing, furniture. The arms carry the load and leave the front clear so a truck can load the full length. Best for building materials, distribution, and manufacturing with long stock.
