Used Cantilever
Used Cantilever Rack From Building Buyouts
Used cantilever rack comes into our Plantsville, Connecticut yard when we buy out lumberyards, steel service centers and manufacturing plants. When it’s here, it’s usually the cheapest way to add long-load storage. Stock changes as buyouts come and go, so call 1-800-826-5326 for what’s in the yard this week.
When used doesn’t match what you need, we stock new structural cantilever towers, arms, bases and brace sets, and most new orders ship within 48 hours. We’ll quote both so you can compare price, condition and lead time side by side.
Buying Used
What to Check Before You Buy Used Cantilever
Straight Towers
Sight down each tower. A bent or twisted column loses capacity and won’t hold arms level.
Straight, Uncracked Arms
Check that arms aren’t drooping at the tip and that welds at the arm socket aren’t cracked.
Matching Hole Pattern
Arms from one maker often won’t lock into another’s tower. Match the brand and pattern, or buy arms and towers together.
Capacity Ratings
Ask for the rated capacity per arm and per tower side. If the ratings are unknown, size conservatively or buy new.
Bases and Braces
Bases must match the tower and arm length, and every run needs its brace sets. Missing braces are the most common gap in used lots.
Floor and Anchoring
Plan to anchor towers to a sound slab. Uneven floors need shims, and outdoor yards need galvanized or well-painted steel.
We check used cantilever before it leaves the yard and tell you what we know about its maker and ratings. For sizing help, see our cantilever racking guide.

Used vs. New Cantilever Rack
Used makes sense when the parts in the yard match your loads and your existing rack. New makes sense when you need a full matched system, known ratings or a firm ship date. Many customers mix: new towers and bases with used arms, or used towers to extend an existing run.

FAQ
Used Cantilever Rack Questions
Do you have used cantilever rack in stock right now?
It depends on recent buyouts, so stock changes week to week. Call 1-800-826-5326 with your lengths and weights, and we’ll tell you what’s in the yard and quote new as a comparison.
Is used cantilever rack as strong as new?
Yes, if the towers and arms are straight, the welds aren’t cracked and you stay within the original ratings. Cosmetic rust or scuffs don’t change capacity. Damage does, so we check used rack before it ships.
Can I add used arms to my existing cantilever rack?
Only if the arms match your tower’s brand and hole pattern. Send us a photo of the tower face and an arm, with its length and size, and we’ll check the fit.
How much does used cantilever rack cost compared to new?
Used is usually cheaper, but the gap depends on condition, size and what’s in the yard. Steel prices change, so we quote both used and new with firm numbers before you buy. Price a new system on our cantilever rack page.
Do you deliver and install used cantilever rack?
Yes. We deliver used and new cantilever rack across the Northeast and install it in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and New Jersey.

Yes. We buy used cantilever and other material handling equipment and handle the removal. See our We Purchase Used Equipment page or call 1-800-826-5326.
