Cantilever Rack in Columbus, OH
Long material doesn't fit a pallet, and plenty of Columbus operations end up leaning lumber, pipe or sheet goods against a wall because nothing else in the building was built to hold it. Cantilever rack solves that with arms extending out from a column and nothing blocking the front, so product loads and unloads from the side instead of being lifted over a beam. Businesses near the I-70/I-270 loop handling conduit, bar stock or furniture stock gain usable floor back the moment that material comes off the ground.
We size arm length, capacity and column spacing to the bundles actually moving through Rickenbacker, West Broad industrial and the Northeast Corporate Park, not a generic arm length pulled from a catalog. Single-sided runs go along a wall; double-sided runs stand in open floor and load from both faces, which matters for Columbus buildings where floor space is tighter than column height.
Why Columbus Warehouses Work With Us
third-party logistics, retail distribution and food and beverage operations near Rickenbacker often carry a mix of long and irregular material — conduit, tube, sheet stock or furniture components — that a pallet system has no good way to store. Cantilever arms are built around length, not pallet footprint, which is the distinction that makes them worth specifying in the first place.
Bundle weight varies enough across Columbus that arm capacity has to be set for the heaviest load actually handled, not an average. We collect bundle dimensions and weight before setting column spacing, because arms spaced too far apart let heavier bundles sag between them.
Buildings along the I-70/I-270 loop and near Groveport Road range from narrow bays with a single wall available to open floor with room for a double-sided run. We draw both configurations in CAD so you can see how many arm levels fit a wall run versus a freestanding double-sided row before deciding which layout uses the space better.

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 floor. 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 Columbus Cantilever Rack Project Includes
Cantilever design for a Columbus project starts with the load: bundle length, weight and how material gets handled — forklift forks, a side loader, or a cart — because that decides arm length, arm capacity and level clearance.
From there we set column height and spacing for your operation near Rickenbacker, West Broad industrial and the Northeast Corporate Park, choosing straight arms for boxed or banded goods and inclined arms with a lip where round stock like pipe or tube needs to stay in place rather than roll forward.
Single-sided runs get positioned along an available wall; double-sided runs get set in open floor with aisle widths matched to whatever equipment is moving material in and out near the I-70/I-270 loop. The quote itemizes columns, bases, arms, bracing and anchors, with a CAD drawing showing arm levels and rated capacity for each.
Installation crews anchor bases to the floor, plumb columns, brace the run and set arm elevations to the drawing. What you're left with is arms you can reposition as the product mix near Groveport Road shifts, with capacity ratings posted for every level. That same column and arm spacing carries forward cleanly if a second run gets added along an adjacent wall later.
