Open-Access Storage for Long, Flat, and Irregular Materials
Cantilever rack is the purpose-built solution for storing materials that do not fit efficiently in standard pallet rack bays. Without front-face obstructions, cantilever systems provide clear, unobstructed access to long and irregularly shaped inventory from one or both sides. WSH designs, supplies, and installs cantilever rack systems for warehouses, manufacturing facilities, lumber yards, and industrial operations throughout Colorado, Eastern Wyoming, and Western Nebraska.
What We Offer:
- Single-sided and double-sided cantilever rack configurations
- Structural steel cantilever systems for heavy-duty applications
- Custom arm lengths and capacities to match your specific inventory
- AutoCAD layout design to optimize your facility footprint
- Professional installation and project management
- Nationwide delivery from our Denver warehouse
How Cantilever Rack Systems Work
Cantilever rack uses vertical steel columns anchored to a base, with horizontal arms extending outward at configurable intervals. Without front columns or cross-beams, there are no clearance restrictions on the length or shape of what can be stored. Arm length, arm capacity, column height, and column spacing are all specified based on the dimensions and weight of your materials.
Single-Sided vs. Double-Sided Configurations
Single-sided cantilever mounts arms on one face of the column and is designed for perimeter or wall-mounted installation. Double-sided cantilever mounts arms on both faces, allowing access from both sides of the rack row and providing significantly more storage positions per linear foot of floor space.d to a base, with horizontal arms extending outward at configurable intervals. Without front columns or cross-beams, there are no clearance restrictions on the length or shape of what can be stored. Arm length, arm capacity, column height, and column spacing are all specified based on the dimensions and weight of your materials.
Common Cantilever Rack Applications
Cantilever rack is the standard solution for any operation managing long, flat, or irregularly shaped materials. Common applications include:
- Lumber yards storing dimensional lumber, sheet goods, and composite panels
- Steel service centers storing bar stock, tube, pipe, and structural steel
- Garage door manufacturers storing springs, rails, and door panels
- Furniture distributors handling long flat-packed components
- Fabrication shops managing raw material stock in extended lengths
Custom Fabrication for Unique Requirements
When off-the-shelf cantilever components are not enough, WSH's in-house fabrication team can design and build custom storage solutions around your specific inventory. See an example in our Colorado Springs garage door manufacturer case study.
Visualize Your Layout Before You Commit
Our team uses AutoCAD to produce detailed layout drawings before any materials are ordered, so you can see exactly how the system fits your facility and how many storage positions it creates.
