Discuss arms, loads and truck access at (616) 344-5683." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack warehouse storage equipment serving Kentwood, Michigan (https://grandrapidspalletrack.com/assets/cantilever-hero-3ef0AkpP.jpg) Kentwood, Michigan # Cantilever Rack in Kentwood, MI Cantilever rack in Kentwood separates long automotive and assembly stock from the boxed parts that belong in conventional pallet positions. Arms extend from uprights to support bar, tube, pipe and other bulky profiles without front columns interrupting the loading face. That leaves access across the length of a bundle rather than restricting handling to one pallet-bay opening. For facilities near 36th Street SE, row placement should account for production replenishment as well as receiving. A storage position is useful only if the assigned truck can reach it with the intended load. Supplying and installing since 1997, Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. supports Grand Rapids Pallet Rack as a division serving these storage needs. (616) 344-5683 ## Evaluate Cantilever Racking at Every Support Begin with load depth to establish arm projection, then examine stock length to establish upright spacing. These dimensions solve different problems. Long tube may need several supports along its span, while a deep bundle needs enough arm length beneath its footprint. Maximum weight belongs in the review, but so do contact points and the tendency of individual pieces to sag. Check the proposed arm capacities together with column loading across all occupied elevations. Loading patterns can differ between faces of a double-sided row, so the arrangement needs evaluation beyond a total storage-weight figure. Single-sided placement may fit a perimeter area, but bases, wall separation and the forklift approach still consume floor space.

Assigning each shape to its own storage method can reduce the need to relocate unrelated goods before a pick. Selective pallet rack offers direct access to palletized items; projecting arms give overlength material an unobstructed face. Neither method replaces a staging area for checking incoming quantities and condition. Lumber and sheet packs can also suit this arrangement when their bearing requirements are established. Avoid assuming that an arm set selected for steel will support every bulky product equally well. Indoor storage may suit finished profiles and moisture-sensitive packaging. Outdoor placement requires equipment selected for exposure and a plan for handling loads under changing surface conditions. Long profiles assigned their own faces Truck clearance checked with the load Capacity reviewed across loaded elevations Image: Cantilever warehouse racking holding steel tubing (https://grandrapidspalletrack.com/assets/cantilever-2b-G7pQApUm.jpg) Image: Cantilever rack storing lumber and wood products (https://grandrapidspalletrack.com/assets/cantilever-3b-HMeRbmPP.jpg) ### Production Routes Near Patterson and 36th Street Kentwood automotive suppliers and light assembly operations along 36th Street SE need material routes that do not cut through active parts replenishment. Near Patterson Avenue and Gerald R. Ford International Airport, receiving may also serve freight-oriented traffic. Position long-stock storage with those shared approaches in mind, rather than placing it wherever a wall appears empty. During winter planning, discuss snow-cleared unloading areas and the route for new rack components without attaching a guaranteed delivery window to weather-dependent access. Automotive supply operations Light assembly material stores Airport-area mixed distribution ## Coordinate Cantilever Storage Rack With the Work Cell 1 ### Group by retrieval pattern List which profiles feed assembly repeatedly and which arrive as reserve bundles. Use that distinction to assign accessible faces without mixing unrelated material families on one elevation. 2 ### Check the loaded approach Measure the actual forklift and its longest carried bundle. Compare side-loader travel if turning a long load would interfere with neighboring replenishment or picking activity. 3 ### Reserve lifting clearance Leave room above each load for the forks and withdrawal movement. Additional elevations only help when the truck can serve them within the specified handling arrangement. 4 ### Organize the installation zone Our role includes scheduling and managing experienced installation crews. We review the agreed work footprint, steel staging and receiving access with your team before coordinating site activity. ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across West Michigan.
