Why Use This Product:
The SM6 starter unit is ideal when you need a straightforward cantilever rack system without having to select each component separately. Single-sided cantilever racks work well when placed against a wall or along the perimeter of a warehouse, shop, or storage area. The adjustable arm design allows you to change storage levels as material sizes change, while the built-in arm pitch helps compensate for deflection under load. MECO Omaha Series 1000 uprights, arms, and brace sets are not interchangeable with any other rack series, so using the correct Series 1000 components is important for proper fit, stability, and performance.

How It Helps Your Operation:
This cantilever starter unit helps your operation store materials such as lumber, pipe, tubing, bar stock, trim, conduit, and other long items in a cleaner and more accessible layout. By keeping materials organized and off the floor, the SM6 can help improve space utilization, reduce handling time, and support safer picking and restocking. The starter unit format also gives you a strong foundation for future expansion, allowing you to add compatible Series 1000 add-on units as your storage needs grow.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are MECO Series 1000 Cantilever Rack Starter and Add-On Units used for?
MECO Series 1000 Cantilever Rack Starter and Add-On Units are used to store long, bulky, or irregular materials such as lumber, pipe, tubing, bar stock, trim, and similar inventory. A starter unit provides the first complete storage bay, and add-on units extend the rack system as storage needs grow.
How do cantilever racks help improve facility organization?
Cantilever racks create open-front storage for materials that do not fit well on standard shelving. This helps reduce floor clutter and makes materials easier to identify, improving picking, staging, and inventory control.
Should I choose a single-sided or double-sided cantilever rack?
Choose a single-sided cantilever rack when the unit will sit against a wall, storing material on one side. Choose a double-sided rack for open floor areas with access from both sides to increase storage capacity.
What is the difference between a starter unit and an add-on unit?
A starter unit includes all components needed for one complete cantilever rack bay. An add-on unit connects to a starter unit to expand the storage row, allowing facilities to expand the system efficiently.
What should buyers know before ordering MECO Series 1000 components?
Buyers should confirm upright height, arm style, storage layout, and access type. Series 1000 models are available in specific heights and are not interchangeable with other series. Consider material length, load weight, and aisle clearance.
