Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking for Steel, Pipe & Lumber Yards

Cantilever racks are designed for long and bulky products such as steel pipe, PVC pipe, copper tubing, electrical conduit, lumber, rebar, structural steel, metal trim, ladders, fencing materials, sheet goods, furniture, carpet rolls, and other variable-length items. The open-front design supports direct access and helps organise products that are difficult to store in conventional pallet rack systems.

Yes. Indoor and outdoor configurations are available, including galvanized variants for lumber yards, steel service centres, and other outdoor or corrosive-environment applications. Product selection should consider exposure conditions, stored-load characteristics, site layout, and the required arm and column configuration. Engineering support is available for applications requiring additional design review.

Cantilever rack systems include adjustable arm heights, allowing the storage profile to be reconfigured as product sizes or inventory mix changes. Available arm lengths range from standard 24 in to 72+ in, while light-, medium-, and heavy-duty arm capacities are available. The correct arrangement should be selected according to the stored products and application requirements.

Yes. Single-sided cantilever racks can be positioned against a wall, while double-sided systems create accessible storage on both sides of a free-standing aisle. The appropriate configuration depends on available floor space, access requirements, aisle planning, and whether the rack will be used indoors or outdoors. Layout design can help compare the available options.

Yes. Cantilever racking is especially suited to steel service centres, lumber yards, wholesale building-material facilities, and contractor supply yards. Galvanized configurations are available for outdoor storage applications, while adjustable arms accommodate different product lengths. Applications can include steel pipe, bar stock, rebar, structural steel, lumber, tubing, conduit, and related long products.

Support includes AutoCAD layout design, cantilever rack engineering, installation through factory-recommended and insured installers, preventative maintenance, arm-capacity inspection, equipment inspections, impact-damage assessment, and rack relocation or teardown and reinstallation. Racking can also be designed to RMI ANSI MH16.1 specifications where applicable, with seismic-zone engineering available for qualifying geographies.
