MECO Series 1,000 Straight Cantilever Arms

The cantilever arms are the primary load-supporting components of the cantilever rack and play a critical role in safe, efficient storage. Straight arms are generally used for stable loads such as lumber, steel sheets, cartons, and skids, while inclined arms are designed for cylindrical materials or products that may roll forward. Arms adjust on 3-inch centers up and down the upright, allowing users to customize each storage level as inventory needs change. Available in lengths from 12 inches to 48 inches and in a variety of capacities, these gray MECO OMAHA arms can also be equipped with or without lips for added load containment.

 

Why Use This Product:
Choosing the correct cantilever arm is one of the most important decisions in building a successful storage system. The right arm length, capacity, and style help support the load properly, reduce handling issues, and improve overall rack performance. MECO Series 1,000 arms feature a hairpin keeper that allows quick height adjustments without the need for complicated tools, making it easy to reconfigure storage levels as product sizes change. Straight arms include a minimum pitch of 3/8 inch per foot to help compensate for deflection under load, while inclined arms provide added control for round or rolling materials.

 

How It Helps Your Operation:
MECO Series 1,000 Cantilever Arms help your operation store long, bulky, heavy, or irregular materials in a more organized and accessible way. By adjusting arm height to 3-inch centers, your team can reduce wasted vertical space and create a rack layout that fits your inventory, rather than forcing inventory into a fixed storage pattern. The ability to choose straight or inclined arms helps improve material control, reduce product movement, and support safer loading and unloading. For best performance and safety, MECO Series 1000 uprights, arms, and brace sets must be used only with other Series 1000 components and are not interchangeable with any other rack series.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is MECO Series 1,000 medium duty cantilever racking used for?
MECO Series 1,000 medium-duty cantilever racking stores long, bulky materials without front columns blocking access. It helps your facility organize items that are hard to place on a standard pallet rack. Typical uses include lumber, tubing bundles, trim, bar stock, panels, and other hand-loaded materials. The open-face design gives workers clear access to each storage level. This helps improve storage density while keeping materials easier to see and reach.
How do I purchase MECO Series 1000 cantilever straight arms?
Start by confirming that your existing rack is MECO Series 1000. Series 1000 arms, uprights, and brace sets are compatible only with Series 1000 components. They are not interchangeable with any other MECO rack series. Choose the arm length, capacity, and lip style based on the material being stored. Also, confirm how many arms each level needs to support the load safely.
Should I choose straight arms with or without a retaining lip?
Straight arms without a retaining lip allow easier loading and unloading from the front. They work well for stable materials that do not slide or roll during handling. Straight arms with a retaining lip help keep materials from moving off the arm edge. The lip adds front-end retention, but it does not increase the arm capacity. Choose the style based on load movement, handling method, and facility safety needs.
What common questions do buyers ask about MECO Series 1000 cantilever racking?
Buyers often ask if Series 1000 arms fit other MECO racks. They do not, because Series 1000 components are only compatible with the same series. Many also ask whether a retaining lip is required for every application. A lip is useful when material may shift, but stable loads may not need it. Buyers also ask about capacity, arm spacing, and whether they need new brace sets.
