Our Strongsville building has pallets and long tube. Do we need both rack types?

Usually. Selective rack stays the right home for pallets, while a cantilever row takes the long items. We lay both out together so aisles and doors work for each.

Can cantilever go in the yard at our Foltz Parkway site?

Yes, as an outdoor row. Galvanized finish and roof arms protect the steel and stock from Northeast Ohio winters, and bases are anchored for the yard surface.

Do we need a side-loader near I-71?

Only if long material must travel down narrow aisles. Wider aisles let a standard forklift handle many loads crosswise. We check your fleet and lengths before recommending either.

How long should arms be for our Strongsville stock?

Arms are sized to the depth of the bundle, not its length. We match arm length and capacity to your widest and heaviest load.

Cantilever rack in Strongsville is the answer when your stock is longer than a pallet bay is wide. Arms reach out from a row of uprights, and because there are no front columns, bar, pipe, tube, lumber and sheet can be set in from the side at full length.

That open front is what sets a cantilever storage rack apart. A 20 foot bundle that would hang awkwardly across selective rack beams lies flat on arms and comes off with one pass of the forks.

Planning Cantilever Rack Rows in Strongsville

We begin with your material list: lengths, bundle widths, weights and how many of each you hold. Load length sets how many arms support a piece. A common guide is to let no more than half the arm spacing hang past the end arms, so the bundle does not sag or tip.

Single sided rows go against a wall. Double sided rows stand in the open and load from both faces, which suits a building where long stock is picked and received from two directions.

Access matters as much as steel. A standard forklift handles shorter bundles crosswise; long material in narrow aisles often needs a side-loader or a multi-directional truck. We size aisles to the equipment you run so drivers are not squaring up against the arms.

Indoor rows usually ship painted. Outdoor rows, for items like building materials kept in a yard, can be galvanized and may add roofing arms to shed snow and rain from the stock.

Experienced crews we schedule and manage handle installation, anchoring each base and setting arms level before the row takes weight.

Where Cantilever Racking Fits Strongsville Buildings

Light manufacturers and regional distributors in Strongsville's business parks often handle a mix: pallets of components plus long material such as tube, extrusions or panel stock. Pallets stay in selective rack; the long items move to a cantilever row so they stop eating floor space. Cantilever racking also keeps those pieces off the floor, where they get run over.

Newer buildings near the I-71/I-80 and Route 82 interchange tend to have generous clear heights, which lets a row climb several arm levels. Older or lower space limits levels, so we size uprights to what the building and your trucks actually allow.

We are one division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., and rack supply plus installation has been our trade since 1997.

Strongsville Corridors and Material Flow

Plants along Foltz Parkway and the I-71/I-80 corridor receive long material on flatbeds as often as on box trucks. A cantilever row placed near the door that takes those flatbeds shortens every move. We plan row direction so a long load can come off the trailer, turn once and go straight onto the arms, with clear room for the overhang on both ends.

How a Cantilever Storage Rack Is Built

Four parts carry the load. Each one is sized from your heaviest, longest bundle, not the average.

Uprights and bases

Heavy columns stand on long bases that resist tipping. Base length grows with arm length, so the footprint follows the depth of the load.

Arms

Arms bolt to the upright at set intervals and can move up or down as stock changes. Straight arms suit most loads; inclined arms keep round stock from rolling.
