It makes storage of long or awkward materials safe and efficient which saves time and money. Often business warehouses put bulk items like aluminum sheets, flake board, dry wall and steel sheets in piles on the floor creating an unsafe and unorganized working environment for warehouse personnel. Instead of having warehouse staff constantly sort and organize unrelated bulky and awkward material, cantilever racks allow you to segregate and store bulky materials by commodity and size. Over time cantilever racks will pay for it self by reducing injuries to employee, increase worker efficiency and improve employee accuracy in stock selection.
It also offer clear frontal access to the storage levels. Unlike conventional racks, cantilevers have no vertical obstructions in the storage area. That lets you make full use of space from side to side on each level. Store materials of varying lengths without interference or modification to the cantilever rack.
The rules governing how to position heavy duty cantilever rack arms:
Rule 1 - use the correct amount of arms so the divided weight does not exceed arm capacity. So a 6000 pound load would require at least 6 arms with 1000 pound capacity per arm.
Rule 2 - total overhang = (1/#arms) X Product length. For example, a 20 foot run with 4 arms. Total overhang = (1 / 4) X 20 feet = 5 feet. So in this case 2, feet can overhand left and right. This is as complicated as cantilever racks get!! Not exactly rocket science.
