Cantilever racking provides the best solution for organizing a lumberyard, warehouse or manufacturing facility. This storage system is also known as lumber, pipe or furniture racks. These racks are generally used for storing bulky items such as aluminium sheets, furniture boards, sheet metal, metal pipes, PVC pipes, and other awkward shaped objects.

They are classified depending upon the weight that these racks can hold. Heavy duty cantilever racking system is used for heavy objects like furniture while the lightweight models are for storing PVC pipes. These racks can be used to segregate the items according to commodity and size and store them separately.

This type of racking is costlier than other storage systems, but the advantage it provides justifies the price. These racks help in improving the efficiency of the labour and reduced the risks of injury. The items stored on these racks can be retrieved easily. The other advantage of this racking system is that it allows easy location of objects that saves a lot of time for the warehouse owners and employees.

Cantilever racking systems are built to hold a large amount of heat. Each upright is capable of holding a weight of 30 tons per upright. The design of the system mainly concentrates such that the weight is distributed throughout the upright. The high quality of steel used in the making of these racks also provides strength for holding weight. The construction of this racking system makes it best for warehouses and industrial storage as well.

For proper functioning of cantilever racking system, it is very important to position its arms in the correct position. The number of arms used in the racks also plays a vital role in the functioning of the system. The other important factor to consider is the length of arms and the angle at which the uprights are fixed to hold the objects.

Taking care of these few factors would result in an effective and easy storage system.
