Why Use This Product:
Use the Single-Sided Cantilever Add-on Unit when you need a strong, organized, and flexible storage solution for standard heavy-duty industrial storage requirements. A cantilever rack is ideal for materials that are difficult to store on standard pallet racks or shelving, including pipe, tubing, conduit, lumber, bar stock, trim, panels, steel, and other long or awkward inventory. The open-front design makes loading and unloading easier, while the adjustable arms allow you to reposition your storage levels as product sizes change. With its single-sided layout, this rack helps make efficient use of wall space while keeping materials accessible and properly supported.

How It Helps Your Operation:
This helps your operation improve material flow, reduce floor clutter, and create a safer, more efficient storage area. By keeping long and bulky items stored off the floor and organized by size, type, or usage, your team can find materials faster and reduce product damage caused by poor stacking or overcrowded storage areas. The adjustable arm design makes it easier to adapt the rack as your inventory changes, while the starter unit format gives you a complete first bay that can be expanded with compatible add-on units. Always load arms evenly and do not exceed upright capacity when configuring the system.
