Cantilever Rack in Cincinnati, OH
Cantilever rack has no front columns. Arms reach out from a single line of uprights, so lumber, pipe, bar stock, tube and sheet material can be loaded from the side without a beam in the way.
Butler County cities like Hamilton, Middletown and Fairfield have long histories in steel, metals and paper, and building materials suppliers serve contractors across the tri-state. Those are the operations calling us about cantilever, along with yards near the Ohio River ports.
Sizing Arms and Uprights to Your Bundles
Length and support
We measure your longest and shortest material and space uprights so every bundle rests on enough arms to keep it from bowing.
Arm capacity
Arm ratings follow the heaviest bundle per arm. Steel stock weighs far more than lumber of the same size, and the design reflects that.
Single or double sided
Against a wall, single sided. Out on the floor, double sided gives you twice the storage from each run.
Indoor Bays, Outdoor Yards and Four-Season Weather
Lumber and building materials often live outside or under a lean-to. Snow, ice and humid summers are part of the job here, so outdoor cantilever is usually galvanized rather than painted.
Indoors, older buildings in Norwood and Hamilton can be short on clear height and tight on columns. We plan arm levels and run lengths around the columns you have instead of pretending they are not there.
Forklifts, Side Loaders and Aisle Width
Long loads change how you think about aisles. A forklift carrying a 20 ft bundle needs room to turn, while a side loader can work a much narrower aisle. We draw the aisle for the equipment you run or plan to buy.
We also count arm positions the way we count pallet positions, so you can see how much material the layout holds before you approve it.
Cantilever Pallet Rack for Metals and Building Supply
Steel service centers in Hamilton and Middletown handle bar, tube and plate that would crush a wood dunnage pile. Lumber and building supply yards around Walton and Florence move sheet goods and framing lumber to contractors all over Northern Kentucky.
Material arriving by barge at the Ports of Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky, or by rail at the Gest Street yard, often lands in long bundles too. In every case the goal is the same: get it off the floor so a driver can pull one bundle without moving three.
Sizing and Growing a Cantilever Run
Upright height, arm capacity and the aisle your side loader or forklift needs are set on the layout before anything ships.
Adding arms or extending a run is common when a product line grows. We match the upright and arm style you already own when the components are compatible.
