Cantilever Rack in Pickerington, OH
In Pickerington, the call about cantilever rack almost always starts with a smaller building, usually somewhere between 10,000 and 60,000 square feet, near the Diley Road corridor or closer to the US-33 and SR-256 interchange, that got racked once at move-in and never again even as the SKU count and order volume kept climbing. The floor fills up long before anyone sits down to redraw the layout, and by the time someone asks about racking the aisles are already doing double duty as overflow storage. Compact industrial and flex buildings around Pickerington, some within sight of Pickerington Ponds Park, where every aisle decision changes the total pallet count noticeably and seasonal order swings can choke the floor for weeks at a time, mean a layout copied from another building rarely fits once you start measuring.
Arms extend out from a column with no upright or beam in front of the load, so lumber, pipe, bar stock, steel coil or anything long and awkward can be set down or lifted off without threading it between frames. For a Pickerington operation carrying material that a standard pallet beam can't support cleanly, and for single or double-sided storage where arm length and spacing are set to the bundle dimensions actually moving through the dock, that changes the math on how much of the building is actually usable storage versus floor lost to staging and workarounds. Arm spacing and column height are fixed once installed, so the load profile for the lane needs to be settled before the arms go up. We measure the building you have along the US-33 and SR-256 corridor and size the system to the pallets, cases or long material you actually move, rather than starting from a catalog layout and hoping it fits.
Why Pickerington Warehouses Work With Us
Pickerington sits at the intersection of growth along US-33 and SR-256, and the buildings in that mix were not built on one blueprint. Some sit closer to Diley Road, others closer to Pickerington Ponds Park, and clear height, column spacing and dock placement shift from one address to the next. A cantilever rack layout drawn for one of those buildings rarely transfers to another without new measurements.
Pickerington's industrial base includes smaller manufacturing, packaging and distribution operations, and each one puts different demands on a rack system. Material that a standard pallet beam can't support cleanly, and for single or double-sided storage where arm length and spacing are set to the bundle dimensions actually moving through the dock is the kind of load profile we see repeatedly in buildings around the Diley Road corridor, so the beam, frame or arm sizing we land on tends to track what is actually sitting on the dock rather than a generic spec.
A Pickerington long-goods layout is only useful if the handling equipment can approach the arms with the longest load. We account for that turning envelope alongside material support spacing, rather than treating an open rack front as sufficient clearance.

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 Pickerington Cantilever Rack Project Includes
Work on a cantilever rack project for a Pickerington building starts with the load itself: pallet or case dimensions, weight, how the material is packaged, and the lift equipment moving it through the dock. Those numbers, not a catalog default, decide beam length, frame depth, arm spacing or lane pitch.
Arms extend out from a column with no upright or beam in front of the load, so lumber, pipe, bar stock, steel coil or anything long and awkward can be set down or lifted off without threading it between frames. For buildings around the Diley Road corridor and the US-33/SR-256 area, we draw the lane count, bay dimensions and aisle widths against the clear height and column spacing of the actual space, then return a position count alongside an itemized price broken out by component.
Where material that a standard pallet beam can't support cleanly, and for single or double-sided storage where arm length and spacing are set to the bundle dimensions actually moving through the dock, we compare the proposed system against a plain selective layout of the same footprint so the position gain and the cost per position are both visible before anything is ordered. Steel gets scheduled once the layout is approved, with delivery staged against the receiving and shipping windows the operation already runs on.
Installation crews anchor and plumb every frame, install decking, rails or carts as the system calls for, then label each bay and post the rated capacity so the floor team knows the limits at a glance. Work is phased so the rest of the building keeps operating, and the same crew that installs the system handles later changes — additional bays, elevation changes or a teardown if the operation eventually moves.
