Cantilever racks are a superior storage solution in many situations. Compared to standard pallet racks, cantilever racks are:
Easier to use: With no front column in the way, cantilever racks are faster to load and unload, lowering handling time and costs.
More flexible: Loads may be placed anywhere along the entire length of a row on a cantilever rack. More compact: The lack of a front column saves horizontal space normally lost to rack structure. Handling clearance is also more abundant.
More selective: Any load or storage slot is immediately accessible.
More economical: Both reduced handling times and increased space utilization make cantilever racks more cost-efficient. Additionally, cantilever racks become more economical as load length increases, while standard pallet racks increase in costs.
More adaptable: Cantilever racks can store nearly any type of load. They are especially useful for storing long, bulky, or oddly-shaped loads.
Characteristics There is practically no limit to the length of cantilever arm racking. This racking for the storage of long goods such as poles, pipes and boards. Each racking upright is equipped with several cantilever arms (supports) for carrying the load. The distance between uprights depends on the weight of the goods to be stored. For long goods of any type. Application Goods which are heavy and small to large quantities per article at medium throughput are stored on cantilever arms. Operation The racking is serviced by fork lift trucks such as multiway reach trucks. They work without turning in the aisle and therefore only require very narrow aisle widths.
