Can you integrate cantilever racks for awkward items (pipe, lumber, furniture)?
Quick Answer
Yes. Warehouse Cubed integrates heavy-duty cantilever racks into new or existing layouts to store awkward, oversized items like pipe, lumber, sheet goods, carpet rolls, or knock-down furniture. Our warehouse consulting services match arm lengths, capacities, and aisle widths to your loads so you get safe, space-saving storage that flows with forklifts and conveyors.
Detailed Answer
Cantilever racks are the go-to industrial storage solution for long, bulky, or irregular products that will not fit on standard pallet racking systems. During our warehouse optimization process, Warehouse Cubed’s engineers start with a detailed warehouse layout design and load analysis. We size uprights, bases, and adjustable arms for your exact bundle lengths, weights, and pick frequency, then position the towers so lift trucks have a clear, unobstructed face to deposit or remove pipe, lumber, mattresses, or ready-to-assemble furniture.
Because we are a full material handling systems integration partner, the cantilever rows are tied into adjacent selective racks, conveyor systems, or automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RS) to create a seamless flow from receiving through order fulfillment. Options include structural or roll-formed steel, single- or double-sided configurations, galvanized finishes for outdoor yards, and removable arm stops to prevent product creep. If your operation must flex for new SKUs, we can combine cantilever with mobile base or bolt-together retrofit systems to reconfigure quickly.
Every installation is backed by our rack systems & repairs team and routine warehouse safety audits to keep capacities compliant and damage in check. The result is a safer, more organized facility that stores awkward items in 50 % less aisle space while boosting pick speed and protecting valuable inventory.
