Cantilever Rack in Obetz, OH
Pallet rack has a front beam, and long material does not fit around one. In Obetz, operations handling import distribution, third-party logistics and freight consolidation end up leaning pipe, bar stock or sheet goods against a wall or floor-stacking bundles where forklifts have to steer around them near Rickenbacker, I-270 and Columbus Logistics Park South. Cantilever rack solves that by extending arms out from a column with nothing across the front, so bundles load and unload from the side instead of needing to clear a beam.
The length of what you are storing, not its weight or how many SKUs you carry, is what drives this decision for freight moving through I-270 and the Rickenbacker interchange. Once material sitting on the floor near a dock door gets moved onto arms sized to it, the same square footage in a Obetz building opens up for everything else.
Why Obetz Warehouses Work With Us
Obetz buildings near Rickenbacker, I-270 and Columbus Logistics Park South that handle import distribution, third-party logistics and freight consolidation often have long or irregular material mixed in with standard pallets, and cantilever is the only system that gets that material off the floor without needing a beam in front of it.
Arm length, column spacing and base depth all follow the bundle dimensions actually moving through I-270 and the Rickenbacker interchange, so a run sized for lumber looks nothing like one sized for coiled tube or bar stock, even in the same building.
Single-sided runs work well against a wall in a Obetz facility with limited floor, while double-sided runs standing in open floor near Rickenbacker, I-270 and Columbus Logistics Park South double the capacity per base without doubling the footprint. Arm levels can be repositioned at set increments on the column, so a run built for one bundle length can be adjusted without replacing the columns themselves.

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 Obetz Cantilever Rack Project Includes
Specification starts with the load: bundle dimensions including length, weight per bundle, and how material is handled, whether by forklift forks, a side loader or by hand off a cart, for a Obetz operation near Rickenbacker, I-270 and Columbus Logistics Park South. Inclined arms fitted with a lip get specified wherever round stock would otherwise be able to roll forward off a straight arm.
From there column height and spacing get set so bundles do not sag between arms, and straight or inclined arms are chosen depending on whether the load is boxed, banded or round stock moving through I-270 and the Rickenbacker interchange. Base depth is rechecked against arm length so an off-center pick does not tip the load of the run.
The quote itemizes columns, bases, arms, bracing and anchors, with a layout showing the run, arm levels and rated capacity per arm for import distribution, third-party logistics and freight consolidation freight specific to Obetz. Capacity per arm level is labeled on the layout so staff loading long bundles near Rickenbacker and I-270 know the limit at a glance without checking a separate sheet.
Installation partners anchor bases to the floor, plumb the columns, brace the run and set arm elevations to the drawing. Arms can be repositioned later at set increments as the product mix handled near Rickenbacker, I-270 and Columbus Logistics Park South changes.
