Discuss arm capacities and compact layouts: 505-436-7469." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack system inside a New Mexico warehouse (https://albuquerquepalletrack.com/assets/cantilever-hero-3ef0AkpP.jpg) Placitas, New Mexico # Cantilever Rack in Placitas, NM Cantilever rack in Placitas carries long materials on open-front arms without front columns interrupting placement or retrieval. For specialty manufacturing along the Highway 165 corridor, that access can suit bar, pipe, tube, lumber, and sheet bundles that do not fit comfortably between conventional pallet rack frames. A compact building needs more than additional storage levels. The layout must leave room to approach, lift, and withdraw the longest load without sweeping through workstations. Along North I-25 frontage, receiving access should also inform rack orientation, especially when incoming bundles need inspection before entering their assigned positions. (505) 436-7469 ## Cantilever Racking Arms and Support Choices Cantilever rack consists of uprights, bases, bracing, and projecting arms. Arm length must support the load depth within the selected system's limits. Each arm has an individual capacity; the upright and complete configuration impose additional limits. An equal-share calculation offers an initial estimate, but uneven contact between bundle and arms can alter the actual reactions. Support spacing follows material behavior as well as overall length. Flexible tube and thin sheet bundles may need closer supports than stiff sections. Long stock should rest across enough aligned arms to control sag and overhang. Loose sheets may require a supported shelf arrangement rather than bare arms, particularly when edge damage would affect fabrication. Single-sided rows can suit a perimeter position, while double-sided rows serve loads from two working aisles. Compare the usable capacity of both arrangements after allowing for bases and handling space. A forklift needs clearance for its full load envelope; a side-loader may change the aisle arrangement, but its dimensions and operating method still require review. Indoor storage can help protect sensitive finishes and keep picking near production. Outdoor placement requires equipment specified for exposure, with wind and heat considered alongside material protection. Against selective pallet rack, the open front better accommodates varying long lengths; selective bays remain useful for palletized fittings, boxed parts, and shorter packaged inventory.

A fabrication business may hold short remnants beside full-length tube, with very different support requirements. Cantilever racking should separate those inventories without forcing operators to move several bundles to reach one frequently requested size. Our division belongs to Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., whose supplying and installing work has continued since 1997. Our planning links arm selection to the space available for handling. We ask which materials arrive banded, which are picked individually, and which need surface protection. Those answers help determine arm elevations, retaining features, and whether a separate picking area belongs beside the main storage run.

Include sheet dimensions and packaging so the support plan reflects actual contact points rather than nominal product sizes. 2 ### Map the handling movement Show door openings, equipment dimensions, and the route from receiving to production. We examine where long loads turn and whether staging could obstruct access to a single-sided or double-sided row. 3 ### Review the arm schedule Compare proposed elevations, individual arm capacities, and support spacing against each material family. The cantilever storage rack arrangement should identify where shorter pieces belong and where full bundles require multiple supports. 4 ### Arrange installation access Agree on work areas and component delivery access before installation begins. Review the completed configuration, loading limits, and intended material positions with the people responsible for replenishment and picking. ## Share Your Long-Material Inventory (505) 436-7469 ### Albuquerque Pallet Rack 2105 Vista Oeste NW Suite E #3491 Albuquerque, NM 87120 (505) 436-7469 Monday - Friday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM ## Long-Stock Questions Before Ordering - Which full-length materials need direct access every day, and which remnants could occupy a separately identified lower level? - Can the handling equipment withdraw the longest bundle without entering production space or blocking the receiving doorway? - Will sheet products need continuous support, protective contact surfaces, or a separate storage arrangement from bar and tube? ## Buying for a Compact Shop ### Can a small Placitas shop start with one storage face? ### Can I store short offcuts beside full-length tube? ### Should I choose longer arms for future inventory? ### What information should I send for a quote? ## Separate Long Stock From Pallet Loads ### Pallet Rack Every pallet reachable, every time. The baseline we size everything else against. View details https://albuquerquepalletrack.com/service-area/placitas ### Pushback Rack Two to six pallets deep from one aisle, without giving up much reach. View details https://albuquerquepalletrack.com/service-area/placitas/pushback-rack ### Pallet Flow Rack Load one side, pick the other, and let gravity enforce first in, first out. View details https://albuquerquepalletrack.com/service-area/placitas/pallet-flow-rack ### Drive-In Rack No aisles. The forklift enters the structure, and the floor holds more pallets per square foot than any other system. View details https://albuquerquepalletrack.com/service-area/placitas/drive-in-rack ### Carton Flow Rack Cases advance to the picker instead of the picker hunting for cases.
