Indoor and outdoor yards.

Arms reach out from a row of uprights, so long material loads from the side without a post in the way. Lumber, pipe, tube, bar stock, sheet goods and furniture components all store on it. Building-products suppliers, metal service work and furniture manufacturers across West and Southwest Michigan lean on it, indoors and in the yard. (269) 390-9036: 2693909036 ## Storage Racks for Lumber, Pipe and Building Materials A building-materials yard near the US-131 / M-6 interchange in Byron Center (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/byron-center), a rail-served steel user in Wyoming (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/wyoming), and bar-stock storage in Three Rivers (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/service-area/three-rivers) all have the same problem: long loads that do not fit a pallet bay. We size arm length to the depth of the load, arm capacity to the heaviest bundle, and upright spacing so long stock does not sag between arms.

Outdoor cantilever is usually specified with a galvanized finish and, where it helps, a roof deck to keep snow off the material. Plan room for the side loader or forklift to approach the arms straight on, with snow storage kept out of the loading lane. ## Single- or Double-Sided Single-sided runs go along a wall. Double-sided runs stand in the middle of the floor and are loaded from both aisles. We pick based on your building and how material arrives. If part of the inventory is palletized, we lay out selective pallet rack (https://kalamazoopalletrack.com/products/pallet-rack) alongside the cantilever so one drawing covers the building. ## Cantilever Planning Steps 1 ### List the material Lengths, bundle sizes and weights for each product. 2 ### Size arms and uprights Arm length, capacity and spacing per level. 3 ### Lay out the run Single or double, indoor or yard, loader approach. 4 ### Install Bases anchored to the floor, arms set to your levels.
