Built for Lumber, Pipe & Long Loads

Some loads just don't fit pallet rack. Cantilever rack stores long, heavy, or unwieldy material on open horizontal arms cantilevered from a row of columns. We are talking dimensional lumber, plywood, pipe and tube, bar stock, conduit, furniture, and appliances. With no front upright to dodge, a forklift or sideloader places and pulls full lengths in seconds. The arms tilt up slightly and use end stops to keep loads put, and the system runs single-sided against a wall or double-sided down an aisle when you need the capacity. It also works hand in hand with 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, all sized to your loads. Here's what goes into each one.

Columns

Vertical towers, roll-formed or structural, sized to the height and load. They are 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 Questions We Hear a Lot

What kind of rack do I need for lumber and pipe?

That is cantilever rack. It carries long, bulky, or awkward loads on horizontal arms that stick out from a row of vertical columns, with no front upright in the way. It is the standard answer for dimensional lumber, pipe, tubing, bar stock, steel, furniture, and anything else that won't sit right on regular pallet beams. Arms mount single-sided against a wall or double-sided down an aisle, and that open front lets a forklift or sideloader grab full lengths fast. Valley designs, sells, and installs it throughout Northeast Ohio.

What can I actually store on it?

Pretty much anything long or hard to palletize. That covers 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 load and pick full lengths from the side or the front without fighting an obstruction. That is exactly why cantilever pairs so well with a sideloader.

Should I go single-sided or double-sided?

Single-sided cantilever has arms on one side and sits against a wall. Double-sided carries arms on both sides of the column and stands out in the open, so you load it from either aisle and roughly double the capacity in the same footprint. Both share the same column-and-arm design. Call us at 888-952-7536 and we will size 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 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 run 24-hour emergency rack repair across Northeast Ohio. Call 888-952-7536.
