Cantilever racking is a specialized storage system comprising cantilevered arms affixed to columns, which may either be stationary or mobile. This storage solution is often referred to as a branch-type rack due to its resemblance to the structure of a tree branch.
Cantilever racking stands out as a crucial and versatile storage solution, particularly well-suited for accommodating lengthy materials, circular items, plates, steel pipes, and irregularly shaped goods. This type of racking system offers the flexibility of single-sided or double-sided configurations to cater to diverse storage needs.
The stable structure, impressive load capacity, and efficient space utilization are hallmark characteristics of cantilever racking. Typically, the columns of cantilever racking are constructed from robust materials such as H-beam or cold-rolled steel. The cantilever arms, responsible for holding the stored items, are crafted from square tubes, cold-rolled steel, or H-beams. The seamless integration of the cantilever and column is achieved through secure methods like plugging or bolting, ensuring a reliable and durable framework.
Moreover, the connection between the base and column is established through robust bolts, with the base itself being fabricated from durable materials such as cold-rolled steel or H-beams. This meticulous construction and assembly process results in a cantilever racking system that not only meets the demands of diverse storage requirements but also provides long-lasting stability and adaptability.
1. It is suitable for storing steel pipes, sections and other long goods.
2. The arm end is equipped with a stopper to avoid slipping when placing round goods.
3. It can be lifted in two ways, i.e. crane lifting and side forklift or material stacker lifting.
4. The height of the shelf is limited, generally below 6M, its length is within 1.5M, and the load per arm is usually within 800KG.
5. The space utilization rate of cantilever racking is about 35% to 50%, which is relatively low.
6. Cantilever racking can be single-sided or double-sided, and the structure is stable and the load capacity is good.
