Uprights carry the arms from behind the load, leaving no front columns between the truck and the material. That distinction matters when receiving includes lumber, tube, pipe or long bar rather than consistently sized pallets. A wholesale building along Broadmoor Avenue may need both bundle storage and conventional pallet positions. Treat those as separate handling tasks instead of forcing every item into the same bay. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., Grand Rapids Pallet Rack draws on a supplying and installing history that began in 1997. (616) 344-5683 ## Choose Cantilever Rack for Length-Based Inventory Long material becomes difficult to manage when short pieces disappear beneath full bundles. Defined arm elevations let you assign stock by section, length or material while keeping the working face visible. The arrangement supports selective retrieval of accessible loads, but it does not make buried pieces within a strapped bundle individually available. Compared with selective pallet rack, an open-front system removes the front upright obstruction that limits the handling of overlength goods. Pallet rack still belongs in the plan for boxed parts and unitized merchandise. Mixed building-product operations often benefit from separate zones, with a transfer area sized for checking deliveries before either storage system receives them.

A Caledonia operation near 68th Street should consider how long bundles move from receiving to fabrication or order staging without crossing assembly replenishment. These routes influence row orientation more than a simple count of available walls. For winter deliveries, discuss snow-cleared unloading space and protected staging for sensitive material, allowing delivery arrangements to reflect conditions rather than assuming an unobstructed yard. Building-product wholesalers Specialty assembly operations Manufacturing material stores ## Match Cantilever Storage Rack to Real Loads Specify arm length from the depth of the stored pack, not simply its longest dimension. Upright spacing governs support along the length; arm projection supports the depth. Both measurements affect the result. Thin sheet, flexible trim and heavier bar need different support reviews, even when their bundles happen to occupy similar floor space. An arm rating is not a substitute for checking the upright assembly and its intended loading. Record the heaviest combination that may occupy adjacent levels. Single-sided storage can serve a wall-side location, whereas double-sided rows need a usable working aisle on each face. Include the base footprint and lifting clearance before counting positions.

Capture actual package dimensions and identify items that cannot share the same support spacing. 2 ### Map the approach Follow the loaded forklift from receiving to the proposed row. Consider a side-loader where long material and narrow travel routes make conventional turns awkward. 3 ### Choose the environment Compare indoor protection with outdoor space for suitable products. Exposure affects finish selection and handling arrangements; material sensitivity may rule out an exterior location. 4 ### Sequence the work Experienced installation crews are scheduled and managed by us. We coordinate the agreed installation area and unloading route with your operating contact before storage is brought into use. ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across West Michigan.
