Storage needs in warehouses, retail stores, and construction zones can shift on a dime. In these situations, having a flexible storage solution like cantilever racks is key. Essentially a vertical column with sturdy arms (and no front post to get in your way), this rack is made to hold long, bulky, or oddly shaped items that won’t fit on regular shelves or pallet racks. With its adjustable arms and configurations, a cantilever rack can adapt to different materials and products, keeping your inventory organized and your floor space free of clutter.
ProRack Systems understands the importance of adaptable storage. Locally owned since 2006, we have grown to become the market leader in rack sales, design, and installation. We’ve built our reputation as a one-stop shop for warehouse storage, handling every step from planning to final installation. Whether you’re outfitting a small supply room or a 100,000-square-foot distribution center, our team will find the best solution for your needs.
A cantilever rack’s upright columns and horizontal arms leave the front completely open, eliminating the need for front columns. This allows for oddly shaped or extra-long items like lumber, piping, and sheet goods to be stored without obstruction. Heavy-duty steel construction ensures each arm can handle thousands of pounds, and safety pins lock everything in place to prevent accidental arm shifts.
One of the biggest perks of cantilever racks is how easily they can be customized. You can mix single- or double-sided units, choose arm lengths that fit your product profiles, and even add decking or safety bars for smaller items. Want to maximize vertical space? Simply add more arms or select higher‑capacity uprights. Their arms are adjustable, letting you tweak spacing in minutes as your inventory changes.
Cantilever racks are extremely useful when used in warehouses and lumber yards. They safely store heavy building materials such as timber, steel beams, and pipes above ground, with no front columns to interfere. Even extra-long boards or 16-foot pipes may rest securely on the arms with ease, making it simple for forklifts to load and unload material. Organizing materials on separate levels (organized by size or kind) results in cleaner floors, faster order pickup, and fewer product damages. In summary, cantilever racks provide a safer and more effective way to store construction goods.

Cantilever racks are used in industrial plants to store raw materials that are too large for ordinary shelves, such as long steel bars, metal sheets, or pipe lengths. Storing things on a cantilever system keeps heavy, bulky stock organized and off the floor, allowing more room for workers and equipment. Workers can easily find what they need since items are grouped by kind or size on the rack arms. Plus, if manufacturing requirements change, you can modify the arms or add levels to handle additional goods. Implementing cantilever racks means your storage adapts to your production operations rather than inhibiting them.
Cantilever racks are ideal for storing large, cumbersome items such as boards, pipes, ladders, and carpet rolls at home improvement and DIY establishments. These racks allow you to neatly and safely display items, making it easy for consumers to discover and acquire what they need. With no front posts in the way, workers can rapidly restock items with a forklift, and customers have easy access to select their timber or pipe. And if your product mix varies annually (more decking lumber in the summer, more gutters in the fall), you can adjust the racks to accommodate the new goods while keeping an organized store layout.

Cantilever racks serve both automotive storage and factories. Bulky car parts like exhaust systems, driveshafts, bumpers, and body panels are significantly safer on racks than on the floor. Cantilever arms keep these components safe and visible, allowing staff to rapidly select the correct item without having to sift through a stack. Storing mufflers and fenders on the rack also saves critical floor space in packed service bays and stock rooms.
As your parts inventory grows (for example, by adding longer truck exhausts or bigger tractor components), you may easily increase arm heights or add more arms to accommodate the new components. It is a safe, adaptable storage mechanism in an industry where part sizes vary greatly.
