Cantilever shelving is a specialized storage system designed to hold long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items such as lumber, pipes, steel rods, and furniture. It features horizontal arms extending from a vertical frame, allowing for open access and easy loading from the front. Cantilever shelving systems are often used in warehouses, lumber yards, and manufacturing facilities where traditional pallet racking isn’t practical.
Ideal for Long, Bulky Items: Cantilever shelving provides optimal storage for oversized, lengthy, or irregularly shaped items that don’t fit well on standard pallet racks.
Open-Front Design: With no vertical obstructions, the open-front design allows for quick, unrestricted loading and unloading, improving accessibility and handling efficiency.
Customizable Arm Lengths and Weight Capacities: Cantilever shelving can be configured with adjustable arm lengths and various weight capacities to accommodate different load sizes and types.
Easy and Flexible Storage Solution: Arms can be adjusted up or down along the vertical supports to fit different item dimensions. Shelving can be single-sided (for placement against walls) or double-sided (for aisle access on both sides), maximizing layout flexibility.
Reduced Product Damage: Items can be stored horizontally across the arms, reducing the risk of warping, bending, or other damage, particularly for delicate or irregularly shaped items.
Expandable Design: Cantilever shelving systems are modular, meaning that additional arms or uprights can be added as storage needs change, allowing businesses to grow their storage capacity over time.
