Cantilever racks are ideal for storing long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items that are difficult to store on traditional pallet racks. Here’s when to use them:
✅ Best Situations to Use Cantilever Racks:
Storing Long Items:
Lumber, steel bars, pipes, metal rods, tubing, and PVC.
Furniture pieces such as sofas or mattresses.
Handling Irregular Shapes:
Products that do not fit well on pallets or have non-uniform shapes and sizes.
Need for Easy Accessibility:
When frequent loading/unloading is required with forklifts or by hand.
Ideal for facilities that require quick stock rotation.
Flexible Storage Requirements:
If your inventory changes often in size or volume.
Arms can be adjusted to different heights for customizable storage.
Outdoor or Heavy-Duty Use:
Heavy-duty cantilever racks are great for outdoor yards or construction material storage.
Warehouse or Industrial Use Cases:
Lumber yards, plumbing suppliers, building material stores, and furniture warehouses.
