What type of pallet rack do I need?

Selective teardrop rack is the default for mixed SKUs; pushback is two to six deep, LIFO by SKU; pallet flow is for FIFO or dated stock; drive-in is for bulk storage with few SKUs. Cantilever holds long loads, and carton flow serves case picking.

How much weight can cantilever rack hold?

There is no single rating: arm capacity depends on arm length and specification, while column capacity depends on height and the loads carried across the run. We size arms and columns to your heaviest bundle and post the finished capacities on load plaques.

How much does pallet rack cost?

Price depends on pallet positions, height, beam capacity, decking, freight and installation. Send pallet size, heaviest load per level, clear height and building size for a free CAD layout and an itemized quote.

Do you install pallet rack?

Yes. We handle design, supply and installation through experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. The finished rack is anchored to the floor, and load plaques identify the rated capacities.

Cantilever Rack in Delaware, OH

Twenty-foot lengths of pipe or lumber don't fit on a pallet, and a surprising number of Delaware buildings have nowhere else to put them. Buildings near US-23 North and Sawmill Parkway in Delaware serve manufacturers, agricultural product handlers, building supply distributors and consumer goods packers, and the day-to-day strain shows up the same way almost every time: bar stock, pipe and dimensional lumber for building supply orders stacked on the floor in bundles because nothing in the building was built to hold a 20-foot length. Delaware has absorbed a wave of new construction north along US-23 as Delaware County's population has grown, which means a good number of buildings here are open shells without any storage plan built in yet. We implement cantilever systems that convert Delaware floor space into high-density storage, allowing long materials to be staged efficiently near US 23 and Howald Industrial.

We bypass the generic data sheets and start with your US 23 facility's actual load requirements, calculating clear heights and frame capacities against the specific inventory you move daily near Howald Industrial. Those numbers determine whether cantilever rack actually fits the way Delaware needs it to, and a layout with a price comes back before any steel is ordered for a building along the US-23 corridor.

Why Delaware Warehouses Work With Us

Delaware buildings along US-23 North and Delaware Commerce Park range from decades-old low-bay construction to recent shells with taller clear heights, and a cantilever rack layout drawn for one rarely drops into the other without rework. Our team drafts the rack elevations to clear your building's specific Howald Industrial Park joists and lighting, providing a tight fit that generic catalog layouts can't match along US 23.

Manufacturers, agricultural product handlers, building supply distributors and consumer goods packers working out of the Curtis Street industrial area generally store bar stock, pipe and dimensional lumber for building supply orders stacked on the floor in bundles, and a cantilever rack lane has to be built around that exact profile rather than a general-purpose one. That early decision on rotation and depth is what keeps a Delaware operation from revisiting the project months later to fix handling problems it created.

Given how often bar stock, pipe and dimensional lumber for building supply orders stacked on the floor in bundles because nothing in the building was built to hold a 20-foot length appears in US-23 corridor buildings, the layout work accounts for how trucks and lift equipment actually move through the dock, not only how many rack positions fit on a floor plan. That's the difference between a cantilever rack project in Delaware that holds up under daily handling and one that looks right on paper but creates new bottlenecks once it's loaded.

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 Delaware Cantilever Rack Project Includes

A Delaware cantilever rack project begins by pinning down the load: what it is, how much it weighs, how much clear height the building gives up before an obstruction, and which lift truck handles it. Those figures set the lane depth, beam elevation and bay spacing before a layout drawing is started.

A column carries a series of arms with no upright in front of them, leaving the face of the bay completely open for loading from either direction. Arm spacing and length are matched to the longest bar, pipe or lumber unit the building sees, not to a stock size. A layout then shows bay and lane dimensions, aisle widths and a position count, so the gain over the current floor storage or outdated rack is visible before anything is committed to steel.

Once the drawing is approved, ordering and installation for cantilever rack follow it bay by bay: frames anchored and plumbed, the components particular to cantilever rack installed at the specified elevations, and a capacity tag posted on every lane.

After the system is up, the same crew handles additional bays, reconfiguration if pallet sizes or SKU counts change, and replacement of any frame or rail damaged by a lift truck. A Delaware operation near US-23 North keeps one point of contact for the rack plan this way, instead of sourcing a new vendor every time the building's needs shift.
