Would pallet shelving handle our long boards instead?

Selective pallet rack suits boards already carried on suitable pallets, but loose long lengths usually need a different support arrangement. Compare package stability and retrieval method before choosing either system.

How much arm reach should we order?

Use the full package depth and the proposed bearing arrangement to establish reach. Choosing a longer arm also changes demands on the column and base; it is not just extra shelf space.

Does a center row need two working aisles?

Yes, when both faces will be loaded and picked. Keep each approach available during normal operations, including the period when receiving is busiest.

What information makes a Glenpool quote useful?

Actual bundle measurements and weights are the starting point. Floor conditions, truck access, exposure and installation staging then help define the scope rather than leaving important work unstated.

Cantilever Rack warehouse storage system

Glenpool, Oklahoma

Cantilever Rack in Glenpool, OK

Cantilever rack in Glenpool puts long bundles within reach without a front row of posts interrupting loading. Horizontal arms connect to upright columns, creating an open face where operators can place material across several bearing points. That geometry matters when stock cannot be handled neatly on standard pallets.

A cantilever storage rack can organize bar, pipe, tube and lumber by size instead of burying smaller orders beneath full bundles. Sheet goods and furniture also belong in the discussion, although their edges and contact surfaces often require decking or other appropriate support. Start with what rests on the steel.

Our team, a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., has been supplying and installing storage systems since 1997. We turn load measurements into an arrangement that accounts for picking, replenishment and the space needed to assemble each row.

Where cantilever rack earns its floor space

Cantilever racking makes sense when an awkward package needs several supports along its length and direct access from the aisle. Selective pallet rack is usually a better match for ordinary pallet loads supported on beams. Combining the two can keep packaged goods near long inventory without forcing either into unsuitable storage.

A single-sided row works where loading occurs from one face, often along a perimeter. A double-sided arrangement can serve two picking aisles, provided neither aisle becomes overflow storage. Compare the entire operating footprint, including the carried load and row-end turns, rather than comparing base widths alone.

Allow room to identify partially consumed bundles. If open packages return to random levels, material can end up resting on too few arms. Marking intended locations helps keep actual loading consistent with the agreed support plan.

Operations We Rack Around Here

For consumer-goods and building-materials distribution along US-75 and the West 141st corridor, separate long-stock picking from pallet replenishment when positioning rows. I-44 / Turner Turnpike access may inform receiving routes, but doorway geometry and indoor staging determine how bundles reach their assigned arms.

Size cantilever storage rack from the bundle

Dimensions and weights should describe the largest real package, not an average order. Mixed inventory needs a loading schedule that identifies which levels accept each material and how many arms share its weight.

Reach and load

Choose arm length from bundle depth, then establish capacity using the weight borne by each supporting arm. Include uneven loading in the review rather than dividing every bundle equally on paper.

Column intervals

Position columns closely enough to control sag in the least stiff material being stored. Review the shortest pieces and end overhangs as well as full-length bundles.

Flat or sloping

Straight arms accommodate stable flat packages; inclined arms with lips help retain round stock. Packaging and handling still need to prevent loose pieces from moving unexpectedly.

Base anchorage

The selected bases need anchored connections to a suitable slab. Check the floor and fastening details alongside column demand before deciding the complete row is ready for loading.

Leave room for the truck and the installation

Trace a loaded forklift from receiving to the storage face, allowing for the bundle extending beyond the forks. A side-loader may change aisle requirements, but its dimensions and approach must be checked too. Unloaded truck measurements alone do not establish workable access.

Indoor cantilever rack needs usable lifting room above the highest package, not simply empty height above the column. Outdoor storage requires a finish appropriate to exposure and a suitable anchoring surface. Consider protection of the inventory separately; the steel finish does not shelter lumber or furniture.

Installation in non-air-conditioned space should account for summer heat and occupied work areas. Reserve an unloading zone and an assembly area before the steel arrives. Spring storms or winter ice can require resequencing, so keep a practical staging alternative available.

Plan Glenpool cantilever rack with us

Share a list of bundle lengths, depths and maximum weights, plus a sketch showing doors and existing rows. Add truck information and photographs of the slab and receiving approach. We can discuss support locations, usable levels and the installation work without relying on a generic bay description. Match cantilever rack levels to the packages picked most often. A cantilever storage rack should leave returned stock an assigned location. Call (918) 296-8162.
