Why Use This Product:
Use the Double-Sided Cantilever Starter Unit when your facility needs organized, high-capacity storage for standard heavy-duty industrial materials. A cantilever rack is a practical choice for products that are difficult to store on standard pallet racks or shelving, including pipe, tubing, lumber, bar stock, conduit, structural steel, panels, trim, and other long or awkward items. The double-sided design allows access from both sides of the rack, making it useful in open warehouse aisles, fabrication areas, lumber yards, supply houses, and manufacturing facilities. Adjustable arms allow the rack levels to be repositioned as inventory sizes change, helping the system adapt to different storage needs.

How It Helps Your Operation:
The MECO SDU8 helps your operation improve material organization, reduce floor clutter, and make better use of available floor and vertical space. By storing long, bulky materials in designated rack positions, your team can locate products faster and reduce damage from stacking items on the floor. The open-front cantilever design makes loading and unloading easier with forklifts, carts, or manual handling, depending on the material being stored. The starter unit format provides a complete first bay that can be expanded with compatible add-on units as your storage requirements grow. Always load arms evenly and do not exceed the upright capacity when configuring the system.
