Call (616) 344-5683 to discuss your layout." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack warehouse storage equipment serving Byron Center, Michigan (https://grandrapidspalletrack.com/assets/cantilever-hero-3ef0AkpP.jpg) Byron Center, Michigan # Cantilever Rack in Byron Center, MI Cantilever rack in Byron Center gives building-supply lengths a defined storage face instead of leaving bundles across receiving floors. Arms project from upright columns, so there are no front columns interrupting access to lumber, pipe, tube or bar. That open face helps a lift truck approach long material without threading the load between conventional pallet-bay posts. For a newer warehouse near M-6 and US-131, available height is only one part of the decision. We start with bundle weight, stock length and the truck that will handle it. Grand Rapids Pallet Rack operates as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has supplied and installed storage systems since 1997. (616) 344-5683 ## Size Cantilever Rack Around the Bundle Arm length should accommodate the actual load depth, including irregular packaging, without treating extra projection as extra capacity. Arm ratings depend on the specified loading conditions; a bundle resting unevenly across supports changes the demand on each arm. Upright spacing also matters because long pieces can bend between supports even when the total bundle weight appears acceptable. Single-sided rows can place the working face along a perimeter, while double-sided arrangements provide access from two aisles around a shared column line. Account for the bases in either layout. A drawing should show the longest load turning into position, not just the rack footprint. Selective pallet rack can remain beside this area for boxed goods and standard pallet loads.

Include maximum weights, load depths and how straps or packaging affect support contact. 2 ### Assign support positions Choose arm elevations and upright spacing around the material family. Keep enough vertical room for forks to lift a bundle free before withdrawal. 3 ### Check handling equipment Compare forklift turning movement with side-loader travel where long loads dominate. Equipment dimensions and load orientation determine which aisle arrangement deserves space on the plan. 4 ### Coordinate the installation We schedule and manage experienced installation crews around an agreed work area. Receiving access, material staging and the sequence for opening storage faces are discussed before work begins. ## Where Cantilever Storage Rack Fits the Mix Building suppliers often carry lengths that do not share one pallet footprint. Separating those materials by profile and length can make individual bundles accessible without moving unrelated stock. The open-front arrangement is useful for bulky sheet packs too, provided their support requirements are reviewed rather than assumed to match lumber. Indoor placement can keep moisture-sensitive material under cover. An outdoor arrangement needs components and a finish selected for the exposure, alongside a handling plan for weather-affected loads. Neither location removes the need to confirm capacity at the arm and upright level. Avoid filling every elevation merely because the building offers room above the current inventory.

In newer 28–32-plus-foot buildings around Byron Center and neighboring Gaines Township, extra height should be evaluated against truck reach and product stability rather than automatically filled with arms. M-6 delivery access does not eliminate dock conflicts. During local winters, review unloading space, snow storage and the route between the trailer and assigned installation area before confirming delivery arrangements.
