Cantilever Rack in Florence, KY
Cantilever rack in Florence, KY stores the loads a pallet cannot: lumber, pipe, tube, bar stock, roofing and long building materials. Arms extend from one side of the column, so nothing blocks the front of the load.
Building-materials, metal products and roofing operations in Independence and Florence use cantilever warehouse racking to keep long stock off the floor and easy to pick.
Cantilever Warehouse Racking for Building Materials
The Toebben Dr industrial area in Independence holds building-materials distribution and metal products companies. The Northern Kentucky Industrial Park on Industrial Rd and Empire Dr in Florence has roofing and paper-tube operations. All of them handle stock measured in feet, not pallets.
Cantilever lets a forklift or side-loader set a bundle on the arms from the open face, with no front upright in the way.
Sizing a Cantilever Rack
Column spacing
Set so the load is supported at enough points to keep it from sagging. Long, flexible stock needs more arms.
Arm length
Matched to load depth. A bundle should not overhang the arm tip.
Arm capacity
Rated per arm; we size from your heaviest bundle per level.
Single or double sided
Double-sided runs down the middle of a bay; single-sided runs along a wall.
Cantilever Pallet Rack and Mixed Loads
Some yards store long stock and palletized product together. Cantilever pallet rack arms can carry decking for pallets and boxed goods next to bundles of pipe or lumber.
Older Florence buildings run about 20–28 ft clear with tight 24 x 40 ft column grids, so cantilever runs have to be laid out between building columns with room for long loads to swing in.
From Layout to Install
Send us load lengths, bundle weights and the truck you use, and we return a CAD layout and itemized quote. Experienced installation crews we schedule and manage set the columns, anchored to the floor. If you are combining cantilever with standard pallet racks or moving to a new building through our warehouse relocation service, we plan it in one job.
Summer heat in non-air-conditioned buildings means early crew starts; we schedule around that.
