Cantilever Rack: An
Economical Choice
Maintaining a
warehouse is expensive, so warehouse managers
must do everything they can to ensure the
warehouse operates efficiently.
One of the first
considerations of warehouse space is the best
way to store the products inside, including what
type of pallet rack to buy. Every item in the
warehouse should be easy to arrange, locate, and
obtain. Boxes are relatively simple to store
since they are stable on a variety of surfaces.
However, if you’re dealing with long, cumbersome
items, cantilever rack is usually the best
choice.
Does your
warehouse stock sheets of metal or planks of
wood? How about plumbing pipes or mattresses?
Many companies have successfully opted for
cantilever rack to store their oddly shaped
merchandise. Some cantilever racks are
constructed especially for a certain type of
merchandise, for example, furniture cantilever
racks.
The “Christmas
tree” theory behind cantilever rack is what
makes it so appealing. There are three main
parts to the cantilever rack concept:
- Uprights:
vertical columns in the back that are bolted
to a base
- Arms: strong
“limbs” extending out from the uprights
- Braces: the
hardware holding the arms, uprights, and
base together
Using these three
components, the cantilever rack is able to hold
a heavy load without any front column at all.
The front of cantilever rack is left completely
open, resulting in these cantilever rack
advantages:
- Easy, fast
loading and unloading
- Every
storage slot is immediately visible and
accessible
- Any type of
load can be stored, from rolls of carpet to
boxes
- Stores more
items in a smaller space
- Gives you
more handling clearance
- It’s open to
accommodate sprinkler systems
- Reduces
employee injury and product damage
- You’re able
to add arms and uprights as needed
