The Challenge
Why Standard Pallet Rack Doesn't Work for Long Materials
Lumber, Pipe, and Steel Overhang Pallet Bays
Long-format material stored on selective rack overhangs the bays, blocks aisles, and creates a structural risk. Cantilever arms support these materials along their length without bay constraints.
Catalog Cantilever Doesn't Match Your Material Profile
Off-the-shelf cantilever sized for "lumber" makes assumptions that don't match your actual bundle widths, weights, or stack heights. A system that almost fits wastes capacity and creates handling problems.
Heavy-Duty Systems Need Engineering, Not Just Hardware
Structural cantilever for heavy loads requires stamped calculations, anchor design for your floor conditions, and permit coordination. Hardware shipped to your dock is not a project.
What You Get
Cantilever Racking, Sized to Your Inventory
Engineered to Your Material Profile
Arm lengths, spacing, and capacities specified to your actual products, not catalog assumptions. Heavy structural for steel and bar stock, roll-formed for lumber and light-duty applications.
Arms Adjust in Minutes
Arms relocate vertically on the column to handle different material lengths and bundle sizes. Change your product line, reset arm heights, no structural modification required.
Stamped Drawings and Permits Included
PE-stamped structural drawings and full permit coordination are part of the base scope. Seismic compliance, base plate design, and anchor specification built in.
Single-Source Project Delivery
Design, engineering, equipment, permits, and install under one contract. One point of contact from 500+ completed racking projects.
Great company! Easy to work with and very professional. Highly recommend Hammerhead Warehouse Systems.

FAQ
Common Questions
What weight ranges can cantilever rack handle?
Arm capacity ranges from a few hundred pounds for light-duty roll-formed systems up to 20,000+ lbs per arm for heavy structural steel configurations. The right design depends on your heaviest individual product, not the average. We engineer for your actual loads.
Can cantilever rack be used outdoors?
Yes, with hot-dip galvanizing or industrial-grade powder coating for corrosion resistance, plus anchoring designs that account for wind loads. Outdoor systems are engineered to the same structural standards as indoor installations.
What permits are required for cantilever rack?
Standard building permits apply. For tall or heavy-duty systems, stamped structural calculations are required. We coordinate all permitting as part of the base install scope and provide complete documentation.
Can cantilever rack and selective pallet rack go in the same warehouse?
Yes. Many facilities run cantilever for lumber, pipe, and sheet goods alongside selective pallet rack for palletized inventory in the same building. We design mixed-system layouts that share aisles and forklift patterns.
How long does a cantilever rack installation take?
Standard installations run 2 to 5 business days depending on system size and structural complexity. Design and engineering take 1 to 2 weeks ahead of install. Permitting runs in parallel so it does not add to the timeline.
