Frequently Asked Questions

What is cantilever pallet racking best used for in a warehouse?

Cantilever racking is specifically designed to store long, bulky, or awkwardly shaped items like lumber, piping, and furniture. Because there are no front uprights to get in the way, you can easily load and unload items of varying lengths using a forklift.

How much does a cantilever racking system cost to install?

The cost of cantilever racking depends on the weight capacity required, the height of the uprights, and whether you choose a single-sided or double-sided configuration. Our team provides detailed quotes that include materials and professional installation to ensure your project stays on budget.

Can I adjust the arm heights on my cantilever racks?

Yes, one of the primary benefits of cantilever systems is their adjustability to accommodate changing inventory sizes. The arms can be moved up or down the upright column, allowing you to reconfigure your storage space as your product lines evolve.

What is the difference between light-duty and heavy-duty cantilever racks?

Light-duty systems are ideal for hand-loading or lighter materials like plastic piping, while heavy-duty systems use structural steel to support massive loads like steel I-beams. We help you calculate the exact load requirements to ensure your rack system is engineered for maximum safety.

How long does it take to get cantilever racking delivered and installed?

Lead times vary based on whether you require standard components or a custom-engineered solution for unique dimensions. Once the materials arrive, our professional installation teams work efficiently to minimize downtime and get your warehouse operational quickly.

Do I need a special permit for cantilever racking installation?

Depending on your local building codes and the height of the racking, a permit may be required to ensure seismic safety and fire compliance. BigJoeLift offers engineering services to help navigate the permitting process and ensure your racks meet all local regulations.

How do I know if cantilever racking is better than standard selective racking?

If you are struggling to fit long items into standard pallet bays without hitting uprights, cantilever is the superior choice. It eliminates the "box" constraints of traditional racking, providing a continuous horizontal storage space for oversized goods.
