Term Of The Week: Cantilever Rack
This Week's Term Of The Week:
Cantilever Rack
Cantilever rack is rack that utilizes "cantilevered"
arms that stick out from columns. These are often used to store long, narrow items. Cantilever replaces shelving when there is a need for a full, clear shelf and the ability to load from the front without obstruction from rack support uprights.
Cantilever racks are the perfect storage solution for hard-to-store products such as pallet rack beams, furniture, lumber, steel piping, tubs, and more. These units are often installed with recessed decking on beds to provide a surface that eliminates snags and other damage incurred during handling. Load capacities vary by arm and overall unit capabilities.
