Cantilever racking  is applied in warehouses and distribution centers to store bulky, lengthy or oddly shaped objects such as steel beams, lumber, pipes, corner beads, gypsum board and similar construction materials. Cantilever racking systems are not supported vertically on the outside to prevent obstructions and to facilitate access to the building materials being stored.   All cantilever racking systems must have four main components. ●Columns, which can be single- or double-sided, depending on the type of load being stored ●Straight or tilt arms of various lengths to hold the stock in place and prevent it from falling off the equipment ●Support devices to hold the entire cantilever racking system in place and add stability ●One base Cantilever racking systems are versatile and can be customized for installation in virtually any warehouse facility.

In industrial facilities such as warehouses, the stability of pallets and cantilevered racks is essential to ensure worker safety and improve operational efficiency. Shaky or unstable storage units can easily topple under the slightest impact or contact from a piece of material handling equipment or a minor seismic event. Increasing the vertical storage capacity of   pallet racking   and   cantilever racking   systems is a common technique in the logistics industry, but proper precautions and measures must first be taken. To safely increase the vertical storage capacity of a unit and prevent it from tipping over, measure the aspect ratios and make sure they complement each other perfectly.   What is the height to width ratio of pallet and cantilever racking systems? In industrial storage solutions, the aspect ratio (also known as the height-to-depth ratio) is the difference between the height and width of the unit itself. To prevent the entire pallet racking sys...

Why Should You Have a Cantilever Racking Health Check? It is understandable that in these tough and challenging economic times, many companies have had to put off purchasing any new storage equipment for their warehouses or yards. More worryingly, however, in many cases this also applies to the ongoing maintenance of existing racks. Undoubtedly this enters high risk territory as ignoring any damage to the main structural components of the racks in a yard or warehouse environment, which employees and customers can walk into, can expose people to potentially very serious health and safety incidents. Therefore, we have outlined a list of “red risks” for  cantilevered racking  that any merchant should consider for the safety of their site:    1. Column damage For columns that are bent in the direction of operation, the maximum gap between the column and the straight edge should not exceed 5 mm. if so, it becomes an orange risk – which means you need to check the area dai...
