Finding the right storage system for your warehouse or home can be overwhelming. There are many factors to consider, such as the materials, heights, and lengths of the items you plan to store as well as the weight capacities the shelving needs to meet. Luckily, we’re here to help!

Our professionals are some of the best in the business and are always ready to help customers find the perfect type of shelving for their space.

One of our most popular shelving solutions is our cantilever rack system. This kind of shelving is infamously flexible and can be tailored to suit diverse components and products of nonstandard height. Don’t worry if your stock is awkward! Cantilever systems are the perfect storage solution for items of all different sizes.
Let’s take a closer look at cantilever racks and configurations so that you know exactly what you’re getting with these shelving units.
What is cantilever shelving?
Cantilever shelving is a form of pallet racking that presents a variety of options for awkward stock such as furniture or lumber. This kind of storage unit is unique in that it does not have vertical posts reinforcing its sides. Instead, it utilizes a strong base design to provide the support heavy materials need without creating a space too defined to fit nonstandard product.
If you’re in need of customizable storage shelving, cantilever racks might be the best option for your warehouse floor. Our units were created with easy organization and installation in mind, too, making it easy to organize stock no matter the size or weight capacity needed to support it.
Heavy-duty cantilever shelving has a few different components to keep in mind.
Bases
Bases serve as the anchors of the shelving system. Whether you are storing plywood, large and heavy material handling equipment, or a large number of items held for shipping, the base of the shelving system stabilizes the cantilever shelves and allows them to hold even large loads of products.
Upright columns
Cantilever uprights, also known as pallet rack uprights and upright columns, are the vertical beams that connect to the base of the shelving system. Each column adds more stability to the unit and allows you to place more items on the arms and pallet racks. Cantilever uprights are used in both single-sided and double-sided shelves to further brace the shelves in the absence of horizontal bars.
Arms
Cantilever arms hold the pallet sheets upon which you can store your content. Arm levels are adjustable and can be changed to best suit your needs. The goal is to ensure that the shelf is easily accessible in the front for easy forklift use to both load and unload the product.
Braces
Cantilever braces connect cantilever uprights and further improve both horizontal and diagonal storage availability. They play a big part in the functionality of the display, making it possible to house items in a wide array of categories.
Wire decking
Wire decking is often used on cantilever arms to serve as a wire shelf when wooden pallets just won’t work. The kind of decking used depends on the item to be stored, with heavier and longer items like ships needing heavier-duty support while tools and workbenches are likely fine with wire decking.
Advantages of cantilever shelving
Cantilever rack systems free up floor space while keeping awkward items of even the longest length safely stored. They are also highly functional and can fit into just about any space. A modern, stylish option, cantilever shelves are unique in that they can be as minimalist or innovative as you want depending on the hardware used. With enough wall space and strong enough brackets, you could have a strong floating shelf system for both storage and display.
The only downside to cantilever shelving is pricing. Industrial shelving in general can be pricey, and that’s especially true if you customize the shelving in any way. With that said, we make delivery and the installation process as quick and easy as possible to minimize downtime, and once your unit is installed, it will require relatively low maintenance.
