Cantilever Rack Guide

Cantilever Rack

Cantilever Rack, also known as furniture rack, pipe rack, or lumber rack is a great solution for storage of long, bulky materials such as lumber and PVC or metal pipes. Furniture rack is a style of cantilever racking that can be decked to provide static storage similar to pallet racking, with the advantage that it provides easier storage and retreival of bulky or oddly sized material than traditional pallet rack. Cantilever racking is a very efficient means of storing material. The storage density with cantilever rack can be very high if you plan out how you will use it efficiently, but generally cantilever rack's flexibility makes it a very popular storage solution with near immediate return on investment.

Cantilever Rack Uprights

Single Sided and Double Sided Cantilever Rack

Like pallet rack, cantilever has specific components that work together to create larger bays and rows of storage. Uprights are the main structural components in any cantilever rack installation. Uprights work with bases (when referring to uprights here, we are speaking about complete upright/base combinations) to create the 'backbone' of the rack. Uprights are available in single, or double sided configurations - with the only difference between the two being that with double sided uprights, you can store material on both sides of the rack. Like pallet rack, there are many different makes and brands that do not all work together. You must match the same make arm and base to build a complete unit.

Cantilever Rack Arms

Cantilever Rack Arms

Similar to pallet rack beams, cantilever arms make up the actual 'levels' that are used for storage. The arms are typically adjustable on 1" centers along the height of the upright to create shelf levels of whatever heights are needed. Arms can be straight or inclined to hold goods that may roll off. Some arms even come with a "lip" that attaches to the end of the arm to prevent loads from slipping off the front of the rack.

Please Be Aware - NEVER put arms on the back side of single sided cantilever rack. Even if the upright has holes to hold arms on both sides, this is a very dangerous practice and should be avioded at all costs.

Sway Braces

Cantilever Rack Brace

The last component of cantilever rack is bracing. The braces go between uprights and stabilize the rack laterally. Braces are not intended to hold loads and should only ever be used to connect and brace the uprights in a row. The braces will be the same length as the spacing between uprights.

While these racks are not, strictly speaking, Cantilever Rack - they are very similar in concept. These racks are made to store long inventory, but function quite differently from cantilever. These racks are operated by cranking out a "drawer" on the unit that is then accessbile by crane from above. Each individual "drawer" or roll-out shelf can be accessed independantly from the others, and offers very safe and secure storage.
