How is cantilever rack different from pallet rack?

Pallet rack has a front beam and stores discrete, boxed loads. Cantilever has an open front, so long material loads from the side and slides in without clearing an obstruction - that's the entire reason the system exists.

How far apart should the columns be?

Close enough that the load doesn't sag between arms. A common starting point puts arm spacing at roughly half the load length, with the remainder overhanging each end evenly. We check that math against your heaviest bundle before finalizing spacing.

Straight arms or inclined arms?

Straight arms suit boxed, banded, or sheet goods. Inclined arms, usually fitted with a lip, keep pipe, tube, and round stock from rolling forward off the arm. Many runs mix both across different levels.

Can arms or levels be added later?

Yes. Arms mount at set increments up the column, so levels can be added or repositioned as your product mix shifts, as long as total load stays within the rated capacity of the column and base.

We are outgrowing our current layout. Can you tear it down and reconfigure it?

Yes — reconfiguring an existing system is common. We measure what is there, note the manufacturer and connection style, and redesign the layout around your current pallet mix before scheduling a teardown and rebuild.

What does a cantilever rack project in Doral typically cost per pallet position?

It depends on beam capacity, height, and how deep you store, which is why the quote is itemized and the layout shows a position count. Comparing cost per position across two configurations on your own floor plan is the only honest way to answer it.

If your Doral operation is dealing with a 3PL and manufacturing operation splitting one floor and never having enough of either, that is a storage design problem, not a leasing problem. Cantilever Rack is built for exactly that situation — it turns the unused clear height in a Airport West building into working load positions instead of aisle.

We size the cantilever rack around your pallets, your lift trucks, and the clear height in your Airport West building, factoring in arm length and capacity set by the bundles you handle. You get a drawing and a line-item price for the Airport West site, not a rough estimate. Call (305) 930-7780 and we will start a Doral layout.

Why Doral Warehouses Work With Us

Buildings around Airport West and Beacon Lakes are rarely uniform. Column spacing, dock aprons, and usable height differ enough from one Doral site to the next that a layout copied from another building wastes positions.

As part of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we have designed storage for air freight forwarding and consumer electronics operators around Beacon Lakes since 1997 — enough history that single-sided runs along the wall, double-sided in open floor rarely surprises us mid-project.

We also keep the Doral cantilever rack layout on file, so adding a bay next year or replacing a bent frame does not start from scratch.

How Cantilever Rack Works

Arms with nothing in front of them, built for lumber, pipe, and anything a pallet can't hold.

Columns and anchored bases

Upright columns sit on bases anchored to the slab. Base depth is set by load and arm length so the run stays stable even under an off-center pick.

Arms at adjustable heights

Arms bolt or pin into the column at set increments and move as your product mix changes. Straight arms suit boxed goods; inclined arms with a lip hold round or loose stock in place.

Column spacing against sag

Spacing between columns is set so bundles don't sag between arms. A common starting rule places arms about half the load length apart, with the ends overhanging evenly.

Single-sided or double-sided

Single-sided runs go against a wall. Double-sided runs stand in open floor and load from both faces, doubling capacity per base without doubling the footprint.

What a Cantilever Rack Project Includes

The first step is a working list of what has to fit in your Doral space: pallet sizes, heaviest load, forklift reach, and how many SKUs need direct access versus cantilever rack depth.

From there our design team produces a CAD cantilever rack layout showing positions, elevations, and aisle widths for your Doral floor plan, plus an itemized quote so you see cost per pallet position. Where it helps, we price a second configuration on the same plan, with single-sided runs along the wall, double-sided in open floor, so the tradeoff between density and access is a number instead of an opinion. Load ratings for each cantilever rack level are documented in the Doral drawing, not guessed in the field.

Common cantilever rack items ship from stock, and we stage deliveries to match your Airport West dock. Installation partners set and anchor the system to the Doral drawing, verify it loaded, and tag capacities. Work is sequenced zone by zone so Doral receiving and shipping never stop, and we stay reachable for cantilever rack parts, added lanes, and repairs.
