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.

Can we add more lanes or positions later without redoing the whole system?

That is the point of designing it as a layout rather than a one-off order. We keep the drawing on file, so adding a bay, a lane, or a run next year starts from where the system already is instead of from scratch.

Our dock is tight and we cannot receive a full truckload at once. Does that change anything?

It changes the delivery plan, not the design. We stage material in smaller drops timed to your receiving hours, and sequence installation zone by zone so a tight dock does not hold up the schedule.

Price range: $$

Warehouses near NW 74th Street corridor keep hitting the same wall: bundle lengths that do not fit a standard pallet rack bay. Cantilever rack is one of the more direct ways for a Medley building to add capacity without touching the envelope.

With long material off the floor and back into usable positions on the table, the building materials operations we work with near Medley industrial park usually want cost per pallet position, not a lump sum. That is what the cantilever rack layout and itemized quote for a Medley industrial park building show. Call (305) 930-7780 to start one for Medley.

Why Medley Warehouses Work With Us

What limits storage in a South Medley facility is usually structural — a column line in the wrong place, a beam pocket, an older slab. We work those Medley constraints out on paper before quoting steel.

Cantilever Rack suits Medley buildings for one reason — arms repositioned as your product lengths change — which matters more here than in a newer big-box facility built around one uniform layout. We talk through that fit during a free design consult before you commit to steel for Medley.

And you deal with one team throughout — cantilever rack layout, pricing, delivery windows into NW 74th Street corridor, installation scheduling, and parts after the fact. Nothing about the Medley job gets handed to a call center.

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

Before cantilever rack is priced for a Medley industrial park site, we collect the constraints: usable height, column grid, aisle widths your lifts need, and the pallet mix your building materials volume actually moves.

You then get a cantilever rack position count for the Medley footprint, load ratings for every beam level, and pricing broken out by component, so cost per pallet position is visible rather than buried in a lump sum. Where it makes sense we run the same plan a second way, with arms repositioned as your product lengths change.

Stock cantilever rack components move within days, and we time drops to your Medley shift schedule instead of one large delivery. Installation partners anchor and align to the drawing, tag every bay with its capacity, and work around your building materials production hours. The Medley layout stays on file for the next expansion.
