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.

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.

What does a cantilever rack project in West Palm Beach 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.

Warehouses near Riviera Beach industrial keep hitting the same wall: bundle lengths that do not fit a standard pallet rack bay. Cantilever racking is one of the more direct ways for a West Palm Beach building to add capacity without touching the envelope.

Given the value of arm length and capacity set by the bundles you handle, we model this against a second configuration on the same West Palm Beach 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 Riviera Beach industrial building.

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 West Palm Beach 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 Riviera Beach industrial building, column spacing, and how fast product turns.

Next comes the cantilever rack layout itself — every position counted, every level rated, and the West Palm Beach quote itemized by frame, beam, deck, and accessory. Because single-sided runs along the wall, double-sided in open floor changes the math, a second configuration on the same floor plan usually comes with it for comparison.

Standard cantilever rack components ship quickly, and delivery gets scheduled around your West Palm Beach receiving hours rather than dumped in one load. Installation partners anchor, plumb, align, and capacity-tag the finished cantilever rack, phased by zone so West Palm Beach shipping keeps running. Afterward your West Palm Beach team has a documented layout to work from and a local source for beams, decking, and guarding.
