Maximized Storage
Store various lengths of long or bulky items easily while making better use of vertical warehouse space.
Industrial Storage Solutions
Safely store long, bulky or irregularly shaped materials such as lumber, pipe, tubing and steel with an open-front cantilever rack system.
Open-front storage
Cantilever rack systems are designed to safely store long, bulky or irregularly shaped materials such as lumber, pipe, tubing and steel. Their open-front design provides easy access, maximizes storage capacity and improves efficiency in warehouses, manufacturing facilities and distribution centers.
Single-sided systems can be installed against a wall, while double-sided systems provide storage access from both sides. Adjustable arms can be positioned at different elevations to create storage levels suited to the lengths, dimensions and weights of the products in your operation.
Store various lengths of long or bulky items easily while making better use of vertical warehouse space.
Adjustable arms help the system fit your inventory today and adapt as storage needs change.
Organized storage reduces floor congestion and the time employees spend finding, picking and inventorying stock.
Adapt your storage system to accommodate different load sizes and weights within its engineered capacity.
Materials and applications
Cantilever warehouse racks are well suited to products that are difficult to contain on standard shelving or pallet rack. The unobstructed face allows lift trucks and other handling equipment to approach the load directly.
The right configuration depends on how materials arrive, how they are picked and the equipment used to move them. Cranston evaluates those operational details before recommending a system.
Frequently asked questions
Pallet rack normally uses front and rear upright frames connected by beams. Cantilever rack supports materials on arms attached to columns, leaving the front open. That open access is especially useful for long products that do not fit neatly on pallets.
Many cantilever systems use adjustable arms that can be repositioned to accommodate changing product dimensions. The allowable configuration still needs to remain within the system's engineered capacity and manufacturer requirements.
Yes. Single-sided racks are commonly positioned along a wall, while double-sided racks create accessible storage on both sides of a central column structure.
Capacity is based on factors including individual load weight, how the load is distributed, arm capacity, column capacity, arm spacing and system configuration. Accurate product information is essential before a system is selected or modified.
Depending on the system and facility, additional bays or storage levels may be added as needs change. Planning for expected inventory growth during the initial design can make future expansion easier.
