MECO Series 1000 Single-Sided Cantilever Starter Unit, Model SM6

The MECO Single Sided Cantilever Starter Unit, Model SM6, is a Series 1000 cantilever rack system designed to provide a simple, complete storage solution for long, bulky, or irregular materials.

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, and trim. They provide a complete storage bay and help keep oversized materials off the floor, making them easier to access.
How do cantilever racks help improve facility organization?
Cantilever racks create open-front storage for materials that do not fit well on standard shelving, reducing floor clutter and making materials easier to identify. This organization improves picking, staging, and inventory control, creating cleaner storage areas for difficult-to-handle materials.
Should I choose a single-sided or double-sided cantilever rack?
Choose a single-sided rack for placement against a wall or perimeter, storing material on one side. Opt for a double-sided rack for open floor areas with access from both sides, increasing storage capacity within the same footprint.
What is the difference between a starter unit and an add-on unit?
A starter unit includes components needed for a complete cantilever rack bay, while an add-on unit connects to a starter unit to expand storage. This allows expansion without purchasing full bays each time, adapting to current and future storage needs.
What should buyers know before ordering MECO Series 1000 components?
Buyers should confirm upright height, arm style, storage layout, and access type (single or double-sided). Ensure Series 1000 components match as they are not interchangeable with other series. Consider material length, load weight, and forklift aisle clearance before ordering.
