Cantilever Racking Bases

The base offers flexible lengths, with common sizes of 36″, 48″, and 60″, matching the cantilever arm to accommodate a variety of storage needs.
It is available in single-sided and double-sided configurations. The single-sided design is ideal for wall placement, while the double-sided design supports two-way storage, maximizing space utilization.
Designed for long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items (such as wood, steel, and pipes), it ensures stable support and efficient access.

Description

The cantilever rack base is the cornerstone of the racking system. It is firmly fixed to the ground and closely connected to the columns to provide stable support for the entire structure. It is designed for carrying long, bulky or irregularly shaped items.

The cantilever rack base is constructed from high-strength steel, offering excellent load-bearing capacity and durability.
The surface is often powder-coated or hot-dip galvanized for corrosion and rust resistance.
Optional stainless steel is also available for specialized applications (such as cold storage or humid environments).

Design Features

Modular Configuration: Flexible combinations of the base, columns, and cantilever arms adapt to various warehouse layouts.
Scalability: Supports single- and double-sided racking, with modular expansion to meet dynamic needs.

Functional Advantages

High Load Capacity and Stability: Secured via anchor holes, supports up to 10,000 pounds per side (depending on configuration).
Additional Storage Space: The base can be used as under-storage for maximum space utilization.

Cantilever Rack Installation and Safety Guide

Cantilever racks are the perfect solution for storing long or irregularly shaped items in warehouses. Proper installation and maintenance are critical to ensure safety and long-term performance.

This guide provides comprehensive insights into installation requirements, safety precautions, maintenance tips, and pricing/customization options to help you optimize warehouse storage while adhering to safety standards.

Installation Requirements

To ensure the stability and safety of cantilever racks, the installation surface must be a level concrete floor with a minimum strength of 3,000 PSI to accommodate seasonal ground changes, such as water saturation or frost expansion.

When connecting the base to the uprights, use appropriate fasteners, such as 3/4-inch bolts, torqued to 250 foot-pounds for a secure fit. During installation, ensure the rack system is level and plumb to prevent tilting or structural damage due to overloading or improper loading.

Cantilever Racking Bases Safety Precautions

Safety Precautions

Safety is paramount when using cantilever racks. Regularly inspect bases and connection points for signs of loosening or damage. When placing goods, avoid extending materials beyond the length of the cantilever arms to prevent bending or lateral stress.

Operate forklifts with care to avoid colliding with arms or bases, which could compromise rack stability. Adhering to these safety measures significantly reduces the risk of accidents and ensures safe warehouse operations.

Maintenance Tips

To extend the lifespan of cantilever racks, routinely check base anchor points and surface coatings for wear to maintain durability.

For outdoor racks, regularly inspect galvanized coatings or roof structures to prevent corrosion or weather-related damage. Keep rack surfaces clean and promptly repair any coating damage to preserve long-term performance.
