What's the difference between structural and roll formed cantilever?

Structural cantilever uses heavy hot-rolled steel for maximum durability and capacity - ideal for heavy loads and outdoor use. Roll formed cantilever is lighter duty and more economical for lighter loads in indoor applications.

Can cantilever racking be used outdoors?

Yes! Structural cantilever is excellent for outdoor use. We offer galvanized and powder-coated finishes for weather resistance. Many lumber yards and building supply stores use outdoor cantilever.

How do I determine arm length and spacing?

Arm length depends on the width of your products (typically allowing 2-4" overhang per side). Arm spacing depends on product length and flexibility - we help design the optimal configuration for your specific inventory.
