How is cantilever rack different from pallet rack?

Pallet rack has a front beam and stores discrete, boxed loads. Cantilever has an open front, so long material loads from the side and slides in without clearing an obstruction - that's the entire reason the system exists.

How far apart should the columns be?

Close enough that the load doesn't sag between arms. A common starting point puts arm spacing at roughly half the load length, with the remainder overhanging each end evenly. We check that math against your heaviest bundle before finalizing spacing.

Straight arms or inclined arms?

Straight arms suit boxed, banded, or sheet goods. Inclined arms, usually fitted with a lip, keep pipe, tube, and round stock from rolling forward off the arm. Many runs mix both across different levels.

Can arms or levels be added later?

Yes. Arms mount at set increments up the column, so levels can be added or repositioned as your product mix shifts, as long as total load stays within the rated capacity of the column and base.

How quickly can you get cantilever rack into a Lebanon warehouse?

Standard components generally ship within a few days of an approved order, and complete projects — layout, steel, and installation — typically run one to four weeks depending on size. If you have a hard date, say so early and we will build the schedule backward from it.

Do you sell used cantilever rack, or only new?

We focus on new components so load ratings and capacity tags are documented from day one. If used steel makes sense for a short-term need we will say so, but for anything carrying real weight day after day, new is usually the better call.

A lot of the calls we get from Lebanon start with an older infill building with columns and clear height that do not match a catalog layout. Cantilever warehouse racking usually fixes it, because it changes how much of a State Route 63 corridor floor plate is actually available to store product without moving a wall.

Given the value of arms repositioned as your product lengths change, we model this against a second configuration on the same Lebanon floor plan so density and access are numbers you can compare. Free to see, no obligation to order, and the cantilever rack numbers are yours either way. Call (513) 957-3017 about your Columbia Road industrial area building.

Why Lebanon Warehouses Work With Us

No two buildings near the Columbia Road industrial area carry the same combination of clear height, aisle width, and floor loading, which is why we draw every Lebanon layout to the site instead of pulling one off a shelf.

Since 1997 we have supplied agricultural products, building materials, and 3PL operations across Lebanon and the surrounding area through Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. The consult up front, where we talk through arm length and capacity set by the bundles you handle, is why the first layout is usually close to the final one.

One number reaches the people who did the work, whether that is a cantilever rack revision during design or a replacement upright for a Union Road site three years out.

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 slab. 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 Cantilever Rack Project Includes

We start by understanding the agricultural products side of your operation — pallet profile, equipment, clear height, SKU count, throughput — because those inputs decide cantilever rack capacity in a Columbia Road industrial area building long before steel is quoted.

You then get a cantilever rack position count for the Lebanon footprint, load ratings for every beam level, and pricing broken out by component, so cost per pallet position is visible rather than buried in a lump sum. Where it makes sense we run the same plan a second way, with arm length and capacity set by the bundles you handle.

Stock cantilever rack components move within days, and we time drops to your Lebanon shift schedule instead of one large delivery. Installation partners anchor and align to the drawing, tag every bay with its capacity, and work around your building materials production hours. The Lebanon layout stays on file for the next expansion.
