That geometry suits bar, pipe, tube and lumber that cannot sit comfortably within conventional pallet openings. Bulky sheet loads can also be accommodated when their support arrangement matches the material. Begin with how stock reaches production. Receiving bundles, partially consumed packs and individual remaining lengths can demand different storage positions, even when all three contain the same material specification. (414) 260-3593 ## Define Cantilever Rack Support First Build the specification from material behavior and load placement, then test the proposed positions against your handling equipment. 1 ### Identify difficult sections List maximum bundle weight, shortest stored length and deepest pack. Include partially opened bundles whose shape changes after banding is removed. 2 ### Calculate support locations Choose upright spacing from stiffness and permitted overhang. Several supports may be necessary to prevent a flexible product from sagging between arms. 3 ### Select rated arms Match arm reach to bundle depth and confirm ratings at the intended load position. Include the combined demand on each upright. 4 ### Validate the approach Compare the forklift or side-loader envelope with the aisle and transfer route. Test placement clearance at the highest proposed material position. ## Cantilever Rack Configuration and Placement Our work is offered through a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., whose supply and installation experience extends back to 1997. We develop cantilever racking configurations around the stated loads, support intervals and handling route, then explain what the proposed arrangement can accommodate. Indoor production storage and outdoor reserve storage need separate environmental reviews. For an outdoor arrangement, discuss exposure, finish, surface conditions and packaging protection. Indoors, account for doors, building columns and machine access so material storage does not consume the space needed to handle it. Free CAD places the proposed support points beside the production route for review. The quote itemizes new material and installation scope, which experienced crews deliver on a schedule we coordinate and manage with the operating team.

Trace the route from receiving to the saw, fabrication area or assembly cell. Keep the longest carried load in the drawing so a generous-looking aisle does not conceal a difficult turn. For heavy manufacturing around the Hwy 20 industrial area and Lakefront industrial district, bundle weight and production sequence deserve equal attention. Place frequently retrieved sections where operators can identify them without moving a heavier reserve bundle. Distinguish stock by section and length rather than relying on a single broad material category.

A row near production should support identification and retrieval, not merely collect every available length in one place.
