Product Description

Cantilever rack is composed of columns, bases, arms, and bracings. It has the characteristics of stable structure, good bearing capacity, and high space utilization rate. Suitable for placing long pipes, plates, circular materials, and irregular materials, widely used in industries such as mechanical processing, building materials supermarkets, and power system equipment warehouses.
Cantilever racking can be customized as per different loading capacity.

Cantilever Rack: An Ideal Storage Solution
 
1. Introduction
 
The Cantilever Rack is a specialized and essential type of storage equipment widely used across various industries. It is designed to meet the unique storage needs for long, bulky, and irregularly shaped items that are difficult to store on traditional shelving or pallet racks.
 
2. Structure and Components
 
2.1 Vertical Columns
 
The vertical columns are the main upright supports of the cantilever rack. Usually made of heavy - duty steel, they are firmly anchored to the floor. For instance, in large - scale industrial applications, H - shaped steel or cold - rolled steel is often used for the columns, which can withstand significant loads and provide the necessary structural stability to the entire rack system.
 
2.2 Horizontal Load - bearing Arms
 
These are the most distinctive components of the cantilever rack. They extend horizontally outward from the vertical columns. The arms come in different lengths, typically ranging from a few feet to several meters, and can be adjusted or removed according to the size of the items to be stored. They are responsible for supporting the weight of the stored goods, and their material can be square tubes, cold - rolled steel, or H - shaped steel.
 
2.3 Base and Bracing
 
The base of the cantilever rack serves as the foundation, providing stability and support to prevent the rack from tipping over. It is usually made of cold - rolled steel or H - shaped steel, and is connected to the vertical columns by bolts. Bracing elements, including diagonal and horizontal braces, are used to enhance the overall rigidity of the rack, especially for taller rack configurations. This ensures the safety and durability of the rack when storing heavy items.
 
3. Types
 
3.1 According to Bearing Capacity
 
- Light - duty Cantilever Racks: Suitable for storing relatively light items, with each arm typically having a load - bearing capacity of less than 200 kg. They are often used in small - scale workshops or storage areas for storing items such as small - diameter pipes, light - weight wooden planks, etc.
 
- Medium - duty Cantilever Racks: Can bear a medium load, with the arm load - bearing capacity usually ranging from 200 kg to 500 kg. They are more commonly used in general - purpose warehouses and manufacturing plants for storing items like medium - sized metal bars, construction materials in moderate quantities.
 
- Heavy - duty Cantilever Racks: Designed for heavy - duty applications, capable of bearing loads of over 500 kg per arm, and in some cases, even up to 1000 kg or more. These are used in industries such as steel manufacturing, large - scale construction material storage, where heavy and long - length items like large - diameter steel pipes, thick steel plates are stored.
 
3.2 According to Structure
 
- Single - sided Cantilever Racks: Have arms extending from only one side of the vertical column. This type is suitable for situations where access to the stored items is only needed from one side, such as when placed against a wall. It can save space in narrow storage areas.
 
- Double - sided Cantilever Racks: Feature arms on both sides of the vertical column, which can double the storage capacity in a given space. They are often used in the middle of a warehouse where access to the stored items can be made from both sides, facilitating efficient storage and retrieval operations.
 
4. Features and Advantages
 
4.1 Optimized Storage for Special - shaped Items
 
The open - front design of the cantilever rack makes it extremely convenient for storing long and bulky items such as steel bars, pipes, lumber, and large - sized furniture. These items can be easily loaded and unloaded without the need for complex handling operations, reducing the risk of damage to the goods during storage and retrieval.
 
4.2 High Space Efficiency
 
Compared to traditional shelving systems, cantilever racks can maximize the utilization of vertical space. They can be designed to reach a certain height (usually up to 6 meters when accessed by forklifts), and the multi - layer arm structure allows for efficient storage in the vertical direction. This is especially beneficial for warehouses with limited floor space.
 
4.3 Flexibility
 
The arms of the cantilever rack are adjustable, enabling the rack to accommodate items of different lengths and sizes. The rack can also be configured as single - sided or double - sided according to specific storage needs, and can be combined with other storage equipment to create a more comprehensive storage solution.
 
4.4 Durability
 
Constructed from high - quality heavy - duty steel materials, cantilever racks are built to withstand the weight of heavy loads and the test of time. They can maintain their structural integrity even in harsh industrial environments, providing long - term reliable storage services.
 
5. Applications
 
5.1 Building and Construction Industry
 
In this industry, cantilever racks are used to store a large number of construction materials such as lumber, steel bars, and pipes. They help keep these materials organized, making it easy to access the required items during construction projects, which improves construction efficiency.
 
5.2 Manufacturing Industry
 
Manufacturing plants use cantilever racks to store raw materials, semi - finished products, and components. For example, in a metal - processing factory, long - length metal sheets and bars can be stored on cantilever racks, ensuring a smooth production process by providing quick access to these materials.
 
5.3 Retail and Warehousing
 
In retail stores that sell large and bulky items like furniture stores or home improvement stores, as well as in large - scale warehouses, cantilever racks are used to store items such as furniture, carpet rolls, and large - sized appliances. This helps in efficient inventory management and easy product display.
 
6. Installation and Maintenance
 
6.1 Installation
 
Proper installation is crucial to ensure the safety and functionality of the cantilever rack. During installation, it is necessary to ensure that the vertical columns are perpendicular to the floor and firmly anchored. The connection between the arms and the columns, as well as the connection between the base and the columns, should be tightened according to the manufacturer's specifications. Professional installation teams are recommended to ensure the correct installation of the rack.
 
6.2 Maintenance
 
Regular maintenance should be carried out, including inspecting the rack for any signs of damage, such as bent columns or arms, loose connections, and rust. If any problems are found, they should be repaired or replaced in a timely manner. Lubricating the moving parts (if there are any) and keeping the rack clean can also help extend its service life.
 
In conclusion, the cantilever rack is a highly practical and efficient storage solution for industries dealing with long, bulky, and irregularly shaped items. Its unique structure, diverse types, and multiple advantages make it an indispensable part of modern storage systems.
