Discuss load support and vehicle access: (414) 260-3593." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack warehouse storage example (https://milwaukeepalletrack.com/__l5e/assets-v1/06d6aaa4-e9b9-437e-ab43-3455e1c1f904/cantilever-hero.jpg) West Allis, Wisconsin # Cantilever Rack in West Allis, WI Cantilever rack in West Allis holds long fabrication material on open-front arms without front columns breaking up the loading face. Bar, pipe, tube, lumber and bulky sheet loads need support that follows their dimensions rather than a standard pallet opening. In an older industrial building, that support also has to fit the available approach. A row can fit between building columns yet remain difficult to load. Draw the longest carried bundle through the aisle and into position before treating the surrounding floor as usable storage space. (414) 260-3593 ## Fit Cantilever Rack to the Working Envelope Begin with the building and vehicle path, then establish the support dimensions that the material itself requires. 1 ### Measure the obstructions Locate building columns, doors and fixed equipment. Record available height over the full row, including the space needed to raise material off an arm. 2 ### Trace loaded movement Use the actual forklift dimensions and longest carried load. Compare side-loader access where relevant, using its operating requirements rather than a generic aisle width. 3 ### Position the supports Set upright spacing from stock stiffness, length and allowable overhang. Provide the required supporting surface for sheet loads that cannot rest on separated arms. 4 ### Confirm reach and rating Choose arm length for bundle depth, then verify arm and upright capacity. Include uneven placement and the cumulative weight of loaded levels. ## Cantilever Rack Within Existing Building Limits West Allis metal fabrication and industrial supply businesses often work within older industrial layouts. Around the 70th Street industrial area and National Avenue, existing columns and limited clear height make row placement especially important. Align storage with the material route rather than forcing a long bundle through successive turns to reach an otherwise convenient wall. Low overhead space changes the number of practical levels, not the need for proper support. Keep enough vertical clearance to lift a bundle free of its arms. Separate full lengths from shorter offcuts when the same upright spacing cannot provide adequate contact for both.

For fabrication users, stock storage should preserve access to cutting and assembly areas rather than compete with those movements. Metal fabrication Industrial supply Light assembly ## Cantilever Rack Arrangements for Available Faces Our division belongs to Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., a business supplying and installing warehouse storage since 1997. We plan cantilever racking around measured building constraints, stated load weights and handling equipment, making the proposed arm positions and working aisles visible before selection. Indoor and outdoor locations should be evaluated independently. An exposed material yard needs an appropriate finish and a reviewed supporting surface, while an indoor row must work around columns, doors and production equipment. In either setting, the accessible loading face must remain reachable with the intended stock. The free CAD layout outlines row placement and loading clearances within the existing building. An itemized new-material quote defines assembly scope, with experienced installation crews scheduled and managed around your fabrication access requirements.
