Cantilever Rack

Cantilever rack stores long, bulky, or awkward loads on horizontal arms that project from a row of vertical columns — with no front column to get in the way. It is the go-to system for lumber, pipe, tubing, bar stock, steel, furniture, and other items that won't sit neatly on standard pallet beams. Arms can be single-sided (against a wall) or double-sided (down an aisle), and the open front lets a forklift or sideloader load full lengths fast. Langer designs, sells, and installs cantilever rack across Pittsburgh and Western PA — call 724-898-2000.

Anything long or hard to palletize: dimensional lumber and plywood, steel pipe and tube, bar stock and extrusions, conduit, PVC, furniture, appliances, and rolled goods. Because the arms have no front upright, you can store and pick full lengths from the side or front without obstruction — which is why cantilever pairs so well with sideloaders.

Single-sided cantilever has arms on one side and is placed against a wall; double-sided has arms on both sides of the column and sits in the open so it can be loaded from either aisle, roughly doubling capacity in the same footprint. Both use the same column-and-arm design — Langer sizes the column, arm length, and capacity to your loads and aisle layout.

Pallet racking cost depends on the system type, capacity, height, and number of bays — selective rack is the most economical per position, while high-density systems like push-back and pallet flow cost more but store more in less space. Langer designs to your budget and gives a firm quote. Call 724-898-2000 for pricing on your Western PA project.

The right system depends on your SKU count, pallet volume, and rotation needs: selective rack for direct access to mixed SKUs, drive-in for high-density LIFO, push-back for density with selectivity, pallet flow for FIFO throughput, and cantilever for long loads. Langer designs the layout around how your operation actually runs across Western Pennsylvania.

Forklift-damaged rack can usually be repaired rather than fully replaced. Langer provides engineered column repair kits, front-column and sub-frame replacement, and load-beam repair to restore rated capacity, with cooler/freezer engineer stamps available. We offer 24-hour emergency rack repair across Western PA — call 724-898-2000.
