Discuss new equipment and installation at (412) 866-1406." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack system inside a Pennsylvania warehouse (https://pittsburghpalletracks.com/assets/cantilever-hero-3ef0AkpP.jpg) Butler, Pennsylvania # Cantilever Rack in Butler, PA Cantilever rack in Butler gives metalworking operations a clear way to separate long material from palletized components. Arms extend from uprights without front columns, allowing bar, pipe, tube, and lumber to be presented along an open picking face. The useful starting point is the stock itself: its length, bundle weight, flexibility, and the way an operator gets forks beneath it. In a PA-8 industrial building, production travel deserves as much attention as storage height. Deliveries arriving from US-422 or PA-68 can bring mixed material that needs sorting before placement. We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., with equipment supply and installation experience dating back to 1997; that experience favors measured load information over choosing a frame from its appearance. (412) 866-1406 ## Cantilever rack for Butler metal stock A selective pallet system supports unit loads on beams; long-load cantilever racking carries material across projecting arms. That difference matters when a bundle spans several support points or individual lengths must leave the rack without passing between front posts. Keep boxed components on suitable pallet storage rather than forcing every inventory type into one arrangement. Sheet and bulky loads need a separate support review. Flat sheets may require an approved support surface, while flexible tube needs enough bearing points to limit sag. Plan locations around the shortest material as well as the longest bundle. A short offcut should not disappear between arms intended for full-length stock.

Mark receiving and production-transfer positions before assigning every available upright face to reserve inventory. Metalworking Equipment supply Manufacturing support ## Match cantilever rack arms to the material Arm length follows load depth and the intended placement position, not the nearest available size. Capacity depends on the specified arm, upright, connection, and load distribution. Divide the actual weight among the supports that truly carry it; uneven bundles or a concentrated load can produce a different demand from evenly distributed stock. Single-sided cantilever rack rows can suit a perimeter position, while double-sided uprights provide access from opposing aisles. Include base projections in the footprint before judging usable clearance. Indoor steel stock and outdoor lumber may call for different finishes and configurations; exposure, water retention, and the material packaging belong in that discussion. Specify new equipment for the intended setting. Lumber, plywood, and sheet goods Pipe, tube, conduit, and bar stock Steel service center inventory Furniture, doors, and windows Long or awkward loads currently sitting on the floor Call (412) 866-1406: (412) 866-1406 ## Plan cantilever storage rack access before installation A long bundle changes the turning envelope even when the forklift fits an empty aisle. Trace the loaded approach, placement, and withdrawal, including nearby production equipment. A side-loader may change the handling plan, but its dimensions and operating method still need checking. Installation should follow the approved arrangement, including anchoring to the floor where required. 1 ### Record the stock families List bar sections, pipe bundles, tube, lumber, and any sheet packs separately. Capture length ranges, load depth, weight, and whether picking removes full bundles or individual pieces. 2 ### Establish bearing positions Locate support points for each material family. Review arm length, spacing, and load distribution together, with attention to short remnants and flexible stock that cannot bridge wide gaps. 3 ### Draw the loaded movement Show the truck carrying the longest load from receiving to its assigned arms. Check turning room, base clearance, fork withdrawal, and the space needed to separate incoming material. 4 ### Confirm the equipment schedule Review upright arrangement, arm elevations, finish, and handling clearances against the approved load list. Supply and installation cover new material, with final placement tied to the agreed layout. Compare selective storage for pallets with open-arm support for long stock; flow and drive-in arrangements address different picking and density needs.
