Cantilever Rack Installation for Odd-Shaped Inventory
The facility required a flexible storage solution for long, flat, and irregularly shaped materials while maintaining efficient use of warehouse space. Western Storage and Handling designed and installed a cantilever rack system integrated with pallet rack and boltless shelving to support operational growth.
The Challenge: Storing Long and Irregular Inventory Efficiently
The warehouse stored oversized and non-uniform materials including flat sheets, bars, and long products that do not store efficiently in standard pallet rack systems.
Key requirements included:
- Safe storage of long and flat inventory such as lumber, pipes, and metal bars
- Maximizing storage density while maintaining accessibility
- Supporting future inventory expansion
- Coordinating multiple storage systems in one facility
- Managing permitting and full project execution
- The client needed a system that provided strength, flexibility, and minimal floor footprint.
The Solution: Integrated Cantilever Rack and Storage System
Western Storage and Handling engineered a cantilever rack system designed for one-sided and double-sided access, allowing efficient storage of irregular materials while minimizing wasted space.
The project also included pallet rack and boltless shelving to support additional storage needs within the facility. WSH managed the full scope of design, logistics, permitting, and installation.
Key Features of the Installation
- Cantilever rack for long and flat inventory
- Pallet rack integration for additional storage capacity
- Boltless shelving units for smaller parts and boxed items
- Direct-to-site delivery from manufacturing partners
- Complete permit package
- Single project manager and point of contact
- Professional installation completed in two days
Results: Flexible Storage With Room for Growth
The completed system provided organized, accessible storage for irregular inventory while improving overall warehouse flow. The cantilever rack configuration allows the facility to scale as inventory grows without major structural changes.
Project outcomes included:
- 11 bays of cantilever rack installed
- 37 bays of pallet rack integrated
