What is a heavy-duty cantilever rack used to store?

Heavy-duty cantilever racks are specifically designed to store long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items that cannot be easily accommodated by traditional shelving or pallet racks. Common items stored include:

Typical Stored Items:

• Construction Materials:

1. Steel beams, pipes, and tubing
2. Lumber, plywood, and PVC trim
3. Rebar, sheet metal, and aluminum extrusions

• Industrial & Manufacturing:

1. Raw material stock (rods, bars, and coils)
2. Fiberglass panels and insulation boards
3. Plastic or metal profiles

• Retail & Wholesale:

1. Carpets, rugs, and vinyl rolls
2. Furniture (doors, countertops)
3. Glass panels and acrylic sheets

• Specialty Applications:

1. Boats, kayaks, or canoes (in outdoor storage)
2. Wind turbine blades (custom large-scale racks)

• Advantages of Cantilever Racks:

1. No Front Obstructions: Allows for easy side-loading without vertical uprights in the way.
2. Adjustable Arms: Can be customized to accommodate various item lengths.
3. High Weight Capacity: Designed to support heavy loads without sagging.
