Discuss arms, supports, and loaded access at (412) 866-1406." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack system inside a Pennsylvania warehouse (https://pittsburghpalletracks.com/assets/cantilever-hero-3ef0AkpP.jpg) Greensburg, Pennsylvania # Cantilever Rack in Greensburg, PA Cantilever rack in Greensburg gives regional wholesalers a clear loading face for stock that extends beyond a conventional pallet position. Arms project from uprights without front columns, allowing a fork truck to approach bar, pipe, tube, or lumber without threading the material between front posts. The layout still needs room for the entire bundle: its length, any overhang, and the truck carrying it determine how much working space belongs in front of each row. With US-30, US-119, and PA-66 connecting the local market, a regional wholesale building may handle crew pickups alongside larger inbound shipments. Separate those short picks from replenishment before assigning arm elevations. This site is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co.; we have been supplying and installing storage equipment since 1997. After twenty-five years in this work, I would rather establish how a bundle gets lifted than begin with an attractive drawing that hides a handling problem. (412) 866-1406 ## Why cantilever rack suits mixed wholesale lengths A selective pallet system supports palletized goods on beams; cantilever racking supports long material across projecting arms. That distinction matters when a wholesaler carries both boxed fittings and long tube. Keep cartons in positions suited to pallets, and put elongated stock where forks can enter beneath it. Sheet packs and bulky loads need a support arrangement that prevents distortion rather than simply a vacant location. Group material by length and handling method, not only by product name. Short remnants can disappear behind full bundles if the same bay carries everything. Separate locations make individual retrieval possible without moving unrelated stock or dragging material across adjacent arms. Before ordering cantilever rack, also identify where opened packs will return after a crew takes only part of a bundle. That return movement needs the same support discipline as the original placement, particularly when remaining pieces vary in length.

Regional wholesale Service parts Manufacturing supply ## Cantilever rack arms need a load-based arrangement Arm length must support the actual bundle depth without an unsupported front edge. Arm capacity, upright capacity, and the intended distribution across supports must all agree with the proposed loading pattern. A heavy bundle spread evenly across several arms is a different case from a concentrated piece resting on fewer supports. Do not assume that adding arms increases the capacity of the upright. Single-sided rows can suit perimeter positions; double-sided rows allow access from both faces when the building provides working aisles. Include base projections in the footprint, even beneath an empty lower level. For outdoor material, select the finish and configuration for exposure, drainage, and how wet or wrapped bundles will be handled.

A clear rack face is useful only when a loaded truck can reach it without sweeping stock through another work area. 1 ### Document the inventory envelope Record longest and shortest lengths, bundle depth, material weight, and whether packs stay banded during retrieval. 2 ### Set the support pattern Establish arm length, support spacing, and elevations around material stiffness and the intended load distribution. 3 ### Check the loaded approach Measure forklift or side-loader turning with the longest carried bundle, including clearance beyond both ends. 4 ### Complete the installation layout Show bases, receiving space, and access on the drawing; specify how the system is anchored to the floor. Compare long-load storage with selective pallet positions, pallet flow for repeated full-pallet lines, and drive-in arrangements for grouped pallet inventory before dividing the building.
