What Are Cantilever Racks?

Cantilever racks are a type of storage system specifically designed to store long, bulky items such as lumber, pipes, and sheet metal. These racks consist of a series of vertical columns with horizontal arms that extend outward to support the stored materials. The open design of cantilever racks allows for easy access and flexibility, making them ideal for warehouses and storage facilities that handle items of varying lengths and sizes. The lack of front columns enables the storage of long items without obstruction, maximizing storage space and improving efficiency.
