The storage answer for long and awkward loads. Cantilever rack holds lumber, pipe, steel, tubing, and furniture on open arms. With no front column in the way, you load and pick full lengths fast. Valley designs, sells, and installs single- and double-sided cantilever rack across Youngstown and Northeast Ohio, sized to your loads and aisles, with stamped permit drawings, turnkey installation, and 24-hour rack repair.
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.
Columns, arms, bases, and bracing, all sized to your loads. Here's what goes into each one.
Vertical towers, roll-formed or structural, sized to the height and load. They are the spine the arms bolt onto.
Horizontal arms that project from the columns with a slight upward tilt and end stops, holding loads with no front obstruction.
Forward-extending bases bolted to the floor that counterbalance the arm loads and keep the rack stable.
Horizontal and diagonal braces tie the columns together into a rigid row, set to your arm spacing.
Cantilever handles the long stuff. For palletized product, we design these too.
The workhorse of warehouse storage, with direct access to every pallet. Roll-formed (teardrop) and structural bolted styles for any capacity. Best all-around for mixed SKUs.
High-density storage where forklifts drive into the bay. Drive-in for LIFO, drive-thru for FIFO. Maximizes cube when you store many pallets of few SKUs.
Cart-and-rail systems storing 2–6 pallets deep per level with LIFO rotation. High density with far better selectivity than drive-in.
Gravity roller lanes for true FIFO rotation: load one side, pick the other. Ideal for high-throughput and date-sensitive product.
