DIFFERENT TYPES OF PALLET RACKING SYSTEMS: CANTILEVER RACKING
Does your business deal with long or heavy products or materials that aren’t easily stored? DACO has the ideal solution!
In part 3 of our series on various pallet racking systems, we’ll be discussing the use and benefit of high-grade cantilever racking systems. Ideal for indoor and outdoor use, these products are a popular choice across various business industries.
If you’re looking to improve your commercial or industrial space’s storage needs, these efficient devices can provide the alternative option you’ve been seeking.
WHAT IS CANTILEVER RACKING?
With single columns, adjustable arms, and sturdy bases, cantilever racking is one of the best pallet racking systems available for companies like lumberyards.
Unlike traditional pallet racking systems, these structures do not have any horizontal beams that get in the way of loading and unloading long, unusually shaped items. The arms are extended for enhanced support and can be easily maneuvered to better hold any sized product or material you need to store.
There are two different types of cantilever racking available—roll-formed and structural.
Roll-Formed Cantilever Racking
An ideal choice for either light or heavy-duty uses, roll-formed cantilever pallet racks are constructed using heavy-gauge roll-formed steel. They feature boltless arm attachments that allow for speedier installation.
Structural Cantilever Racking
Structural cantilever racking systems are made from structural beams and shapes. They are better equipped to handle medium to heavy-duty applications. The extended arms are adjoined to the columns by a solid 4-bolt connection.
WHAT ARE THE MOST COMMON USES OF CANTILEVER PALLET RACKING SYSTEMS?
Lumberyards aren’t the only place that you’ll find cantilever racking systems. At DACO, we’ve seen a broad range of customers choose this type of rack for various storage needs, such as:
