Components
- Column. The column is backbone of the racking. What is being stored will impact its thickness and height. They are punched with positioning holes so that the arms can be placed at three inch intervals, as well as for joints and cross braces to attach to the core at predetermined points.
- Arm. The arm extends to support the product. These can come out at ninety degrees or at lesser degrees to provide extra security and support. They vary in length from 18 to 100 inches.
- Base. The columns fit into the base, which is secured to the ground. The base supports the combined weight of product and racking and comes in various sizes to accommodate up to 6,000 pounds.
- Horizontal bracing. This is the back braces that connect the columns to one another at different points along the height to provide stability.
- Diagonal bracing. The diagonal braces help ensure the unit stays together and is not weakened or driven apart by the pressure on the horizontal bracing.
- Bolt Bracing Tab. These tabs protect the bolts from impact as well as secure them to reduce the risk of injury to employees or damage to equipment in passing.
- Pipe stop. This attachment is inserted at the end of the arm stops to prevent product from rolling off of the end of the arm.

Heavy-duty cantilever racks increase your options in warehouse storage. Cantilever racking comes in many shapes, sizes, and capacities. Different weight cantilever racks have higher or lower capacity ratings to serve various applications.
The two main styles of cantilever rack systems are structural or roll-formed. While structural steel racking tends to be heavier-duty from production, roll-formed racks come in various weight capacities, from light-duty to heavy-duty.
Meco Omaha, our primary cantilever rack manufacturer, offers different series of cantilever racking. Their Series 1000 racking through Series 3000 is ideal for light to medium-duty storage applications. They also provide a 5000 Series heavy-duty cantilever rack line for the heftiest storage needs.

When to Choose Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racks
Depending on your product and application, you may need heavy-duty cantilever racking. Generally speaking, machine-loaded products require heavy-duty racking. Light-duty racking may suffice for products that are hand-stacked.
Generally, any load that places 1,000 lbs or more on a single cantilever arm requires heavy-duty racking. However, each added tower increases the system’s capacity limit by redistributing the load and reducing the strain on a single arm. Light-duty cantilever racking is great for loads less than 1,000 lbs per arm.
