Heavy-duty cantilever racks increase your options in warehouse storage. Cantilever racking comes in many shapes, sizes, and capacities. Different weight cantilever racks have higher or lower capacity ratings to serve various applications.
The two main styles of cantilever rack systems are structural or roll-formed. While structural steel racking tends to be heavier-duty from production, roll-formed racks come in various weight capacities, from light-duty to heavy-duty.
Meco Omaha, our primary cantilever rack manufacturer, offers different series of cantilever racking. Their Series 1000 racking through Series 3000 is ideal for light to medium-duty storage applications. They also provide a 5000 Series heavy-duty cantilever rack line for the heftiest storage needs.

When to Choose Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racks
Depending on your product and application, you may need heavy-duty cantilever racking. Generally speaking, machine-loaded products require heavy-duty racking. Light-duty racking may suffice for products that are hand-stacked.
Generally, any load that places 1,000 lbs or more on a single cantilever arm requires heavy-duty racking. However, each added tower increases the system’s capacity limit by redistributing the load and reducing the strain on a single arm. Light-duty cantilever racking is great for loads less than 1,000 lbs per arm.

- Steel piping

Cantilever racks are great for storing long products that roll. Cantilever lumber racks are an excellent medium or heavy-duty rack system, while cantilever pipe rack (for steel piping) and cantilever racks for sheet metal will always be heavy-duty.
