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.

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.

Telephone: (305) 930-7780
Price range: $$

A 3PL and manufacturing operation splitting one floor and never having enough of either shows up constantly in Palmetto Frontage facilities. Adding cantilever racking is how a Miami Lakes operation gets capacity back without paying for square footage it already has.

Given the value of long material off the floor and back into usable positions, we model this against a second configuration on the same Miami Lakes floor plan so density and access are numbers you can compare. Free to see, no obligation to order, and the cantilever rack numbers are yours either way. Call (305) 930-7780 about your Miami Lakes Business Park building.

Why Miami Lakes Warehouses Work With Us

The industrial stock near Miami Lakes Business Park ranges from older infill space to newer construction, and each one limits a racking plan differently. Height, columns, and floor condition all move the answer in Miami Lakes.

Cantilever Rack suits Miami Lakes 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 Miami Lakes.

Service does not stop at handoff on a Miami Lakes job either. If a cantilever rack level needs to move in your NW 67th Avenue corridor building or a beam gets damaged, the same team that designed the system answers the phone.

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

We start by understanding the medical supply side of your operation — pallet profile, equipment, clear height, SKU count, throughput — because those inputs decide cantilever rack capacity in a Miami Lakes Business Park building long before steel is quoted.

Next comes the cantilever rack layout itself — every position counted, every level rated, and the Miami Lakes quote itemized by frame, beam, deck, and accessory. Because arms repositioned as your product lengths change changes the math, a second configuration on the same floor plan usually comes with it for comparison.

Stock cantilever rack components move within days, and we time drops to your Miami Lakes 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 printing and packaging production hours. The Miami Lakes layout stays on file for the next expansion.
