Roll Formed Cantilever Racking Systems

Single-sided cantilever racks have arms extending from one side only and are typically positioned against a wall to maximize floor space. Double-sided racks have arms on both sides of the column, functioning as a free-standing aisle unit that allows forklift or operator access from either side — effectively doubling storage capacity per column row.

Yes. Cantilever racks are available in galvanized finishes specifically engineered for outdoor and corrosive-environment applications such as lumber yards, steel service centers, contractor supply yards, and building materials distributors. Galvanizing protects the structural steel components from moisture, rust, and UV degradation, extending the service life of outdoor installations significantly.

Standard arm lengths range from 24 inches up to 72 inches or longer, depending on the product being stored. Light, medium, and heavy-duty arm capacity ratings are available to match the weight of your inventory. Adjustable arm heights on each column allow you to reconfigure storage levels as your product mix changes over time, without replacing the structure.

Yes. Cantilever racking offered by Storage Products Company is designed to RMI (Rack Manufacturers Institute) ANSI MH16.1 specifications where applicable. Seismic-zone engineering is also available for facilities located in high-seismic-risk geographies, ensuring structural compliance with local building codes and safety regulations for your specific installation environment.

Storage Products Company provides a comprehensive suite of services including AutoCAD layout design and cantilever rack engineering, installation through factory-recommended and insured installers, preventative maintenance, arm-capacity inspections, impact-damage assessment, and warehouse rack relocation including cantilever rack teardown and reinstallation. These services cover the full lifecycle of your storage system.

Cantilever racks use a column-and-arm system where arms project horizontally from the upright column with no vertical obstructions on the load side. Arm heights are adjustable, and a single arm depth can accommodate multiple product lengths simultaneously. This design allows one rack configuration to store pipes, boards, or bars of varying lengths side by side without requiring separate bays for each size.
