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.

Do you sell used cantilever rack, or only new?

We focus on new components so load ratings and capacity tags are documented from day one. If used steel makes sense for a short-term need we will say so, but for anything carrying real weight day after day, new is usually the better call.

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.

Price range: $$

A lot of the calls we get from Miami start with import waves landing all at once and filling every open position for a week. Cantilever warehouse racking usually fixes it, because it changes how much of a Allapattah floor plate is actually available to store product without moving a wall.

With arms repositioned as your product lengths change on the table, the e-commerce fulfillment operations we work with near Allapattah usually want cost per pallet position, not a lump sum. That is what the cantilever rack layout and itemized quote for a Allapattah building show. Call (305) 930-7780 to start one for Miami.

Why Miami Warehouses Work With Us

The industrial stock near Airport West 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.

Since 1997 we have supplied import and export distribution, e-commerce fulfillment, and 3PL operations across Miami and the surrounding area through Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. The consult up front, where we talk through arm length and capacity set by the bundles you handle, is why the first layout is usually close to the final one.

One number reaches the people who did the work, whether that is a cantilever rack revision during design or a replacement upright for a Wynwood industrial site three years out.

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

A Miami cantilever rack project starts with a phone call. We go through pallet footprint and weight, forklift type and lift height, clear height under the sprinklers in your Airport West building, column spacing, and how fast product turns.

Then you get the cantilever rack drawing for your Airport West building: pallet positions, beam or rail elevations, aisle centerlines, and total capacity, priced line by line with beam capacity noted at every level. We often show two versions of the same Miami floor plan — arm length and capacity set by the bundles you handle — so you compare storage against throughput before choosing.

Stock cantilever rack components move within days, and we time drops to your Miami 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 e-commerce fulfillment production hours. The Miami layout stays on file for the next expansion.
