MECO Series 1000 Cantilever Rack Starter and Add-On Units, Flexible Storage for Long and Bulky Materials

MECO Series 1000 Cantilever Rack Starter and Add-On Units are complete storage systems designed for flexibility, simplicity, and efficient material organization. These units take the guesswork out of selecting a cantilever rack system by combining the key components needed to assemble a functional storage bay. A starter unit includes two uprights, straight arms, and brace sets to create one complete bay for storing long, bulky, or irregular items. Add-on units let you expand an existing bay as storage needs grow, without duplicating the uprights and braces already in place.

Single-sided configurations work well when placed against a wall, while double-sided configurations suit open floor areas where material needs to be accessed from both sides. Series 1000 models are available in upright heights of 6', 8', and 10', giving you options based on your available space, load requirements, and storage layout.

Important: MECO Omaha Series 1000 uprights, arms, and brace sets are not interchangeable with any other rack series, so choosing the correct Series 1000 components is essential for proper fit, stability, and performance.

Twelve configurations are available across three heights, starter or add-on, and single or double-sided.


Selection Guide:

♦ Starter vs. add-on: a starter unit provides everything needed for one complete bay, including uprights and braces. An add-on unit expands an existing bay's storage capacity without duplicating those structural components, reducing cost as you grow the system.

♦ Single-sided vs. double-sided: single-sided units suit wall placement, while double-sided units suit open floor areas needing access from both sides.

♦ Upright height, 6', 8', or 10': taller heights generally pair with more, shorter arms at a lower per-arm capacity, while shorter heights use fewer, longer arms at a higher per-arm capacity. Select based on your ceiling clearance and the length of materials being stored.

♦ Component compatibility: Series 1000 uprights, arms, and brace sets are not interchangeable with other MECO rack series. Confirm you are ordering matching Series 1000 components throughout your system.


Where Commonly Used:

♦ Lumber Yard and Building Supply Storage, lumber yards and building supply operations use cantilever racks to store lumber, pipe, and long stock off the floor for easier access and inventory control.

♦ Manufacturing Raw Material Storage: Manufacturing facilities use cantilever racks to store bar stock, tubing, and structural shapes in an organized, space-efficient layout.

♦ Warehouse and Distribution Long Material Storage, warehouses and distribution centers use cantilever racks to store oversized or irregularly shaped items that don't fit standard pallet racking.

♦ Growing Facilities Needing Scalable Storage, facilities expecting future storage growth use the starter and add-on structure to build out their rack system over time without redesigning the layout.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is the difference between a starter unit and an add-on unit?

A starter unit is one complete bay, including two uprights, straight arms, and brace sets. An add-on unit expands an existing bay without duplicating the uprights and braces already in place, which is what makes it the lower-cost way to extend a run. Order a starter first, then add-ons for each additional bay.

What upright heights and configurations are available?

Twelve configurations across three upright heights of 6, 8, and 10 feet, each available as a starter or add-on and in single or double-sided form. Single-sided units suit wall placement. Double-sided units suit open floor areas where material is accessed from both sides.

How does upright height affect arm count and capacity?

They trade against each other. Taller uprights generally pair with more arms at a lower per-arm capacity, while shorter uprights use fewer, longer arms at a higher per-arm capacity. The 6 foot SM6 starter provides six 12 inch arms rated at 1,000 pounds each, while the 8 foot SM8 provides eight 24 inch arms rated at 600 pounds each. Select against both your ceiling clearance and the weight of your heaviest material.

Are Series 1000 components interchangeable with other MECO racks?

No. Series 1000 uprights, arms, and brace sets are not interchangeable with any other MECO rack series. When ordering additional arms, braces, or add-on bays, confirm every component is Series 1000 rather than assuming compatibility across the MECO line, since a mismatch affects fit, stability, and performance.

What base and brace dimensions do these units use?

The 6 foot and 8 foot models listed use a 33 inch base with a 47 inch brace set. Measure your available depth against the base dimension rather than the arm length, since the base determines the floor footprint the rack occupies and needs clearance on the access side.

What should I confirm before ordering?

Three things. Measure ceiling clearance against the 6, 8, or 10 foot upright height. Check the length of your longest material against the arm length in the configuration you are considering, since arm lengths vary by model. And weigh your heaviest single load against the per-arm capacity rather than the total, because that rating is what governs each individual arm.
