Cantilever Lumber Racks & Used Cantilever Furniture Racks

What business benefits the most from cantilever lumber racks?
The furniture manufacturing business ranks chief on the list of industries that can obtain superior and highly favorable outcomes from an investment in cantilever lumber racks. Companies in cities like Thomasville, NC, Danbury, CT, Tupelo, MS, Asheboro, NC, and Springfield, Massachusetts have factories and warehouses all over the country that require specialized racks for the storage of both raw lumber and finished products. Piling boards and couches on pallet racks is impractical, and can result in both hazardous conditions for workers and likely damage to raw materials and finished goods.

What specific benefits do cantilever lumber racks offer?

Cantilever lumber racks, on the other hand, let you store any number of timber cuts to be organized and stored by weight, wood type, dimensions, and intended manufacturing purpose. You can also have cantilever racking systems built to store asymmetrical items like chairs, couches, and tables. This makes space management and product retrieval much easier.

Storing furniture and lumber on cantilever racks also helps with climate control. In many humid climates, it is necessary to ventilate a warehouse with fans or air conditioning to keep materials dry. Elevating lumber and furniture on cantilever racks places them closer to overhead air currents and also allows you to cover them with tarpaulins.

Can you build cantilever racks for hand retrieval of lumber?
Yes. This is often done for small businesses that have very small warehouses and low ceilings. Cantilever storage racks can be designed as either single-sided racking or double-sided racking systems that will allow workers to walk up to the rack and pull lumber off by hand.
Be sure, however, before having us build you such a storage system that it meets with local safety requirements in your area.

What other types of industries can benefit from cantilever lumber racks?
Construction companies use cantilever racks to store lumber used in building projects. Many of our construction clients are small, family owned businesses who build custom homes, churches, and small office parks and need specialized storage for a variety of wood products. The size of the cantilever rack and the spacing between the arms has to be determined by calculated the total load capacities of the arms and uprights factored against the length and weight of lumber stored on the racks. Gravity has in impact on the equation because materials hang over either side of the racking. Making a mistake on the math here can weaken a cantilever system by as much as 50%. SMP does not require you to trouble yourself will all these calculations. Simply give Bruce Garrett details of your materials and project needs and our team will configure your cantilever rack to the exact parameters of the type , size, and weight of lumber products you intend to store.
