With arms extending from uprights and no front columns across the loading face, handlers can approach long bundles directly. The arrangement must still leave enough room to carry, turn, and place the complete load. Cross-dock activity around Statesville Road and Verhoeff Drive industrial areas makes aisle placement a central purchasing decision. Consumer electronics distribution and specialty retail support also need a clear distinction between boxed inventory and long store-fixture components. We operate as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing since 1997 with attention to both storage and access. (704) 480-3833 ## A traffic-first cantilever storage rack process Begin with the moments when material handling is most constrained. Receiving peaks, replenishment moves, and shift changes reveal access requirements that an empty-building measurement can miss. 1 ### Map concurrent movements Mark dock approaches, pedestrian routes, staging boundaries, and the path to each proposed storage face. Identify where a long bundle would extend beyond the truck and interrupt another movement. 2 ### Measure every load family Collect full lengths, bundle depths, maximum weights, and minimum retained lengths. Note sheets needing added support and round stock requiring suitable retention so neither becomes an afterthought during ordering. 3 ### Review equipment and ratings Compare forklift access with a side-loader where long travel loads warrant it. Match arm length to material depth, verify each arm's load rating, and calculate upright totals for the proposed occupied levels. 4 ### Sequence the site work We manage the installation crews and schedule their attendance around agreed operating boundaries. Assembly uses new material, and the completed arrangement receives load plaques identifying the applicable capacities before stock is assigned. ## Cantilever rack placement around active dock routes Choose cantilever racking for bar, pipe, tube, lumber, or supported sheets when their lengths conflict with conventional pallet openings. Its open face avoids front-column interference, but long material still sweeps through a substantial area during handling. A row that fits on a drawing may obstruct a cross-dock transfer once a loaded truck turns. Near the I-77 / Exit 23 corridor, evaluate receiving and outbound movements before setting row direction. Keep long-load approaches out of primary dock-to-dock paths where possible. Selective pallet rack can continue serving boxed electronics and healthcare supplies, while open-arm positions handle materials with different support and access needs. A single-face row may suit an edge location with one approach aisle. Double-face storage can increase accessible positions within a central row, provided both faces have working clearance. Compare those choices using the actual handling truck, longest bundle, and planned staging areas rather than an unloaded forklift's turning circle.

Long flexible tubing and thin sheet packs may need closer support than stiff bundled sections. Include the shortest pieces kept for later use; a remnant that bridges too few arms should have a separate, suitable storage position. Outdoor storage requires a finish and material-protection discussion based on exposure. Indoor positions require attention to available height, lift reach, and obstructions. Around Northcross, a proposed exterior overflow area should be evaluated as a distinct application rather than treated as an automatic extension of an interior arrangement. Capacity communication belongs in the operating plan. An individual arm limit does not authorize filling every available level without checking the upright total. Maintain visible load plaques, identify designated material positions, and revisit the arrangement when heavier bundles or changed arm elevations are proposed. Preserve aisle boundaries during replenishment as well as routine picking.
