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.
