Arms project from upright columns with no front posts, so bar, pipe, tube, lumber and sheet loads enter from the side on a forklift or side-loader. Building-products distributors and third-party logistics tenants near Transit Road often receive mixed lengths that change by vendor. A cantilever storage rack layout starts from the longest and heaviest bundle on the receiving dock, not from a row drawn simply to fill empty floor. Lancaster's I-90 connections bring regional freight that can include oversized pieces alongside ordinary pallets. Separating those loads early keeps the main selective rack aisles working for palletized picks instead of absorbing stray bundles. (716) 261-2779 ## Cantilever storage rack sizing details Arm length is chosen from bundle depth so material bears fully without excessive overhang. Each arm's capacity, the total upright load and the base width are reviewed together; an arm that holds one bundle shape is not automatically rated for another. Upright spacing follows material stiffness. Pipe and tube can sag between widely spaced supports, while sheet products may need decking or closer arms so thin pieces stay flat. Short cut lengths left after picking deserve their own support check. Single-sided rows suit wall positions in shallower Lancaster buildings; double-sided rows need working aisles on both faces. Outdoor storage for lumber or building products calls for a finish selected for exposure and a yard arrangement that keeps snow clearing away from loading faces. Cantilever racking fits when loads are long, bulky or awkward to palletize. Palletized freight with many SKUs still belongs on selective rack; forcing long goods into pallet bays wastes positions and slows every retrieve. Lumber, panel and sheet stock for building-products distribution. Pipe, tube and bar bundles arriving by regional carrier. Oversized or awkward freight that will not fit standard pallet bays. Call (716) 261-2779: (716) 261-2779 ## Planning your cantilever racking layout A cantilever racking review starts with the load list and a measured sketch of the receiving route. The drawing should show dock doors, staging and the full turn of the longest bundle, not just the row footprint. 1 ### List the long loads Record the dimensions and weights of full bundles, partial bundles and remnants. Note which items arrive strapped, crated or loose, and which need a fork attachment. 2 ### Measure the building route Walk the path from the receiving door to the proposed row with the longest load in mind. Include dock staging, column positions and any aisle shared with order picking. 3 ### Set arms and levels Choose arm length, spacing and elevations from the documented loads. Review total upright capacity and base selection before fixing the number of storage levels. 4 ### Install around shipping Agree a cleared work zone and sequence with our managed installation team. Experienced crews set, plumb and anchor the new rack to the floor while your docks keep working. ## Why Lancaster distributors choose cantilever rack Buffalo Pallet Rack is a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing warehouse storage equipment since 1997. We quote new cantilever racking from your measured building and actual load list, then schedule and manage experienced installation crews around your shipping hours. A distribution building's rack plan has to agree with its dock schedule. We check door positions, staging lanes and the turning sweep of the longest load before recommending single-sided or double-sided rows. Open loading faces accept long bundles without front-column obstruction. Arm levels match each product family instead of forcing one bay size. Separated long-load storage keeps pallet aisles clear for distribution picks.

Reserve cantilever rows for the long goods, and keep the two zones separate so bundle handling never crosses the pick aisles.
