Why Boise Businesses Choose Cantilever Rack from Material Handling USA
Boise is one of the fastest-growing metro areas in the U.S., with manufacturing and technology sectors expanding rapidly. Efficient storage of long, bulky materials is critical for businesses across the region.
Boise, ID is home to a busy commercial and industrial sector, including lumber mills and wood products distributors, agricultural equipment dealers, steel fabrication shops, plumbing and pipe suppliers, and building material yards across the Treasure Valley. These businesses handle long, oversized materials that standard pallet racking simply cannot accommodate. Cantilever racking is the ideal solution for storing lumber, steel, pipe, tubing, sheet goods, and other irregularly shaped inventory.
Material Handling USA provides complete cantilever rack solutions to the Boise metro area. We design custom layouts based on your specific materials, load weights, building dimensions, and forklift access requirements. With a metro population of 800,000, the Boise market is one of our most active service areas for cantilever storage systems.
Unlike standard shelving or pallet rack, cantilever racking uses a column-and-arm design with no front uprights to obstruct loading. This open-face design lets you load and unload long materials with a forklift, overhead crane, or by hand from the front of the rack. Arms are adjustable in height to match your specific product dimensions.
Whether you operate a lumber yard in Meridian, a steel distribution center near the Treasure Valley industrial parks, or a construction supply warehouse anywhere in the Boise metro, we have cantilever rack systems sized and configured for your operation.

Cantilever Rack Buying Guide for Boise Businesses
Choosing the right cantilever system depends on what you store, how much you store, and how you access it.
Load weight per arm: Determine the heaviest load each arm will support. Light-duty arms handle 500 to 1,500 lbs, while structural heavy-duty arms can support 3,000 to 5,000+ lbs per arm. We engineer each system for your specific load requirements.
Arm length: Arms are available from 24 inches to 72 inches or longer. Choose arm length based on the width or depth of your stored materials. For Boise lumber yards, 48-inch arms are common for dimensional lumber bundles.
Column height: Cantilever columns range from 6 feet to 20+ feet tall. Your building clear height and forklift reach capacity determine the maximum practical height. Our team can survey your Boise facility to determine the optimal configuration.
Indoor vs. outdoor: For outdoor cantilever in Boise, we recommend galvanized finish to resist weathering. Hot-dip galvanized columns and arms withstand rain, snow, UV exposure, and temperature swings common in Idaho.

What can I store on cantilever racks in Boise?
Cantilever racks are designed for long, bulky, and irregularly shaped items. Boise businesses commonly use cantilever racks for lumber, steel bar stock, pipe and tubing, sheet goods (plywood, drywall, sheet metal), furniture, carpet rolls, PVC conduit, and construction materials. Any item that doesn’t fit on standard pallet racks is a candidate for cantilever storage.
What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided cantilever rack?
Single-sided cantilever rack sits against a wall with arms extending from one side only. Double-sided cantilever has arms on both sides and is placed in open floor areas so materials can be loaded from either side. Double-sided systems are more common in Boise lumber yards and steel distributors where forklift access is available on both sides.
How long does cantilever rack installation take in Boise?
Most cantilever rack installations in Boise are completed in 1 to 3 days depending on the system size. A single row of 4 to 6 towers can typically be installed in less than a day. Larger systems with multiple rows, custom heights, or structural anchoring may require 2 to 3 days. We schedule installation to minimize disruption to your Boise operations.
