What Warehouse Rack System is Ideal for Wood, Pipe, and Steel?

MAPLE GROVE, Minn. - June 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Wood, pipe, and steel often won't fit correctly in typical storage systems.  Pallets, for example, may not offer enough horizontal space.  Fortunately, there is cantilever racking for materials such as these.  Cantilever racking allows you to store items like wood, lumber, steel, piping, tubing, and other long industrial items that other storage systems would be unable to accommodate.

A cantilever rack is a freestanding storage unit with horizontal arms that extend outward from a column, and which bear the weight of the load.  Cantilever racking allows for the storage of long items because it lacks vertical support on the outboard ends.  Cantilever racking can usually be seen in lumberyards, plumbing supply warehouses, and woodworking shops.  Though often used for the storage of industrial materials, cantalever racking is highly versatile, and can be used to hold any item(s) that would otherwise be difficult to store.  To learn more about the advantages and versatility of cantilever racking, check out the full article at http://blog.akequipment.com/2014/05/what-warehouse-rack-s...
