Horizontal arms attach to uprights, creating accessible positions for bar, pipe, tube, lumber and properly supported sheets. The right arrangement begins with material dimensions and handling methods, not a generic count of storage levels. Textile and yarn manufacturing can involve maintenance stock with very different weights from automotive aftermarket inventory. Along Franklin Boulevard, older converted buildings also make clear-height measurements important. A layout near Gastonia Technology Park should reflect its own doors, equipment and stock mix rather than borrowing dimensions from another facility. (704) 480-3833 ## Cantilever rack choices for mixed operations Selective pallet rack serves palletized cartons and other unit loads that fit between front columns. Cantilever storage suits long goods that need an open face. In an aftermarket operation, maintaining separate systems for boxed components and long exhaust tubing can prevent compromises in both support and picking access. Indoor and outdoor rows require different exposure discussions. For exterior storage near the I-85 / US 321 interchange, identify weather exposure, drainage and how inventory will be protected before selecting finishes and accessories. An outdoor setting does not remove the need to verify handling clearance and the specified loading arrangement. Round stock can roll, and loose material may shift when bands are removed. Discuss suitable restraints, end stops or containment for the actual product. Accessories do not increase arm capacity. Keep the load supported as intended, and avoid treating the front end of an arm as a convenient place for concentrated weight. Lift clearance above bundles Support for short remnants Visible loading limits Call (704) 480-3833: (704) 480-3833 ## Cantilever rack within lower-height buildings Measure usable lift clearance before choosing upright height. Operators need room to raise a bundle above its supports and withdraw it without contacting the level above. Closely spaced arms may look attractive on a drawing but leave too little working clearance for uneven bundles or the handling attachment. Long material requires support across its length. Upright spacing should account for stiffness, bundle condition and the shortest pieces intended for each position. A full pack of lumber and several loose lengths may behave differently, even when their overall dimensions initially appear similar. Establish separate locations when their support needs diverge. Arm depth should accommodate the stored load's depth under the specified loading conditions. Verify the rating of every arm and the combined upright total at the proposed level spacing. Load plaques provide operating limits for that arrangement; they do not authorize heavier loads merely because several neighboring arms appear available.

Our scope uses new rack components, with installation crews scheduled and managed to suit the agreed sequence. 1 ### Measure available working height Record overhead restrictions, door openings and the lift truck's usable reach. Include the height needed to disengage a bundle from an arm. Identify low areas separately rather than applying the building's highest measurement throughout. 2 ### Sort stock by support needs Separate rigid bar, flexible tube, lumber packs and sheets on the inventory list. Record maximum weight and depth for each. Identify remnants that cannot safely occupy the same support spacing as full-length incoming material. 3 ### Compare access arrangements Evaluate a single-face perimeter run against a double-face row with aisles on both sides. Use the actual forklift or side-loader dimensions and carried load. Keep inbound staging from consuming the space required to approach the arms. 4 ### Confirm the installed layout Review level positions and capacities before releasing locations for loading. Coordinate installation work areas with receiving personnel. Provide load plaques and explain the loading pattern, including which materials belong on supported surfaces or designated lower positions. ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across the Charlotte metro and nearby North and South Carolina communities.
