Built for Lumber, Pipe & Long Loads

Some loads just don't fit pallet rack. Cantilever rack stores long, heavy, or unwieldy material — dimensional lumber, plywood, pipe and tube, bar stock, conduit, furniture, and appliances — on open horizontal arms cantilevered from a row of columns. With no front upright to dodge, a forklift or sideloader can place and pull full lengths in seconds. Arms tilt up slightly with end stops to keep loads put, and the system runs single-sided against a wall or double-sided down an aisle for maximum capacity. It's a natural fit alongside the Bulmor sideloaders Valley sells. We size the columns, arm length, and capacity to your exact loads, produce stamped permit drawings, and install it turnkey across Northeast Ohio.

What Makes Up a Cantilever System

Columns, arms, bases, and bracing — sized to your loads. Here's what goes into it.

Columns

Vertical towers (roll-formed or structural) sized to the height and load — the spine the arms bolt onto.

Cantilever Arms

Horizontal arms that project from the columns with a slight upward tilt and end stops, holding loads with no front obstruction.

Base Feet

Forward-extending bases bolted to the floor that counterbalance the arm loads and keep the rack stable.

X-Bracing

Horizontal and diagonal braces tie the columns together into a rigid row, set to your arm spacing.

Cantilever Rack — Common Questions

What is cantilever rack?

Cantilever rack stores long, bulky, or awkward loads on horizontal arms that project from a row of vertical columns — with no front column to get in the way. It is the go-to system for lumber, pipe, tubing, bar stock, steel, furniture, and other items that won't sit neatly on standard pallet beams. Arms can be single-sided (against a wall) or double-sided (down an aisle), and the open front lets a forklift or sideloader load full lengths fast. Valley designs, sells, and installs cantilever rack across Youngstown and Northeast Ohio — call 888-952-7536.

What can you store on cantilever rack?

Anything long or hard to palletize: dimensional lumber and plywood, steel pipe and tube, bar stock and extrusions, conduit, PVC, furniture, appliances, and rolled goods. Because the arms have no front upright, you can store and pick full lengths from the side or front without obstruction — which is why cantilever pairs so well with sideloaders. Valley designs and installs cantilever rack across Youngstown and Northeast Ohio.

What is the difference between single- and double-sided cantilever rack?

Single-sided cantilever has arms on one side and is placed against a wall; double-sided has arms on both sides of the column and sits in the open so it can be loaded from either aisle, roughly doubling capacity in the same footprint. Both use the same column-and-arm design — Valley sizes the column, arm length, and capacity to your loads and aisle layout.

How much does pallet racking cost?

Pallet racking cost depends on the system type, capacity, height, and number of bays — selective rack is the most economical per position, while high-density systems like push-back and pallet flow cost more but store more in less space. Valley designs to your budget and gives a firm quote. Call 888-952-7536 for pricing on your Northeast Ohio project.

What type of pallet racking is best for my warehouse?

The right system depends on your SKU count, pallet volume, and rotation needs: selective rack for direct access to mixed SKUs, drive-in for high-density LIFO, push-back for density with selectivity, pallet flow for FIFO throughput, and cantilever for long loads. Valley designs the layout around how your operation actually runs across Northeast Ohio.

Can damaged pallet racking be repaired, or does it need to be replaced?

Forklift-damaged rack can usually be repaired rather than fully replaced. Valley provides engineered column repair kits, front-column and sub-frame replacement, and load-beam repair to restore rated capacity, with cooler/freezer engineer stamps available. We offer 24-hour emergency rack repair across Northeast Ohio — call 888-952-7536.
