Cantilever racking is the go-to storage system for industries that handle long, bulky, or irregularly shaped materials that won’t fit neatly on standard pallet racks. You’ll find it heavily used in lumber yards, steel and pipe distributors, furniture warehouses, home improvement centers, and manufacturing facilities that stock everything from sheet goods to tubing and oversized products. Because the rack arms are open and adjustable, cantilever systems make it easy to store and retrieve items like drywall, plywood, steel beams, carpet rolls, and even large appliances. This flexibility makes cantilever racking a favorite across construction supply, industrial distribution, and retail sectors where safe, efficient handling of oversized inventory is critical.
