MECO Series 4000 Cantilever Straight Arms for Long Material Storage

MECO Series 4,000 Cantilever Straight Arms are primary load-supporting components for compatible MECO cantilever rack systems, used to store long, bulky, and stable materials. These straight arms are commonly used for lumber, steel sheets, cartons, skids, panels, and other products that rest securely on cantilever arm supports. Arms adjust up and down the upright on 3-inch centers, allowing each storage level to be positioned based on material size, load height, and access needs. Available in lengths from 12 inches to 60 inches and in multiple capacities, these gray MECO OMAHA cantilever arms can be ordered with or without lips for added load containment. These arms are designed for use with the MECO Series 3000, Series 4000, or Series 5000 uprights only, and capacities are based on an evenly distributed load.

 

Why Use This Product:
MECO Series 4,000 Cantilever Straight Arms are a strong storage choice for your operation when it needs organized support for long, flat, wide, or bulky items that do not fit well on a standard pallet rack. Straight arms are best suited for stable loads unlikely to roll forward, making them ideal for lumber, sheet goods, boxed materials, skids, and similar inventory. Each straight arm includes a minimum pitch to help compensate for deflection under load. Standard straight arms have a minimum pitch of 3/8 inch per foot, while 54-inch and 60-inch arms have a minimum pitch of 5/8 inch per foot. For cylindrical materials or products that may roll, inclined arms are typically the better option.

 

How It Helps Your Operation:
These MECO cantilever straight arms help improve storage efficiency by keeping long and bulky inventory off the floor, organizing it by size or product type, and making it easier to access with forklifts or other material-handling equipment. The 3-inch vertical adjustability allows your rack system to change as inventory dimensions change, helping reduce wasted storage space and improve product flow. Optional lips provide added containment where needed, while the range of arm lengths and capacities makes it easier to match the rack layout to your actual material requirements. For warehouses, lumber yards, metal suppliers, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers, these cantilever arms support safer handling, cleaner storage areas, and faster retrieval of difficult-to-store materials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What are MECO Series 4000 Cantilever Straight Arms used for?
MECO Series 4,000 Cantilever Straight Arms support long, bulky, and stable materials on compatible cantilever rack systems. Straight arms are commonly used for lumber, steel sheets, cartons, skids, panels, and similar inventory. They create open-front storage that makes oversized products easier to place, view, and retrieve. These arms are intended for stable loads that rest securely on a straight support surface.
How do these cantilever straight arms help your facility?
These cantilever straight arms help keep long materials organized and off the floor. They support cleaner aisles, better product visibility, and more efficient material handling. Adjustable arm positions let your team match storage levels to changing inventory sizes. This helps reduce wasted rack space and keeps stored materials easier to access.
What are the key features of MECO OMAHA cantilever arms?
MECO OMAHA cantilever arms adjust up and down the upright on 3-inch centers. This allows each storage level to fit different load heights and product sizes. Arms are available in lengths from 12 inches to 60 inches. They come in multiple capacities and can be ordered with or without lips. The standard finish is gray for a clean industrial appearance.
Which uprights are compatible with these cantilever rack arms?
These cantilever rack arms are designed for MECO Series 3000, Series 4000, and Series 5000 uprights only. Compatibility matters because arm capacity depends on the complete rack system. Each arm should be matched to the correct upright and load requirement. Capacities are based on an evenly distributed load, not a concentrated point load.
What types of materials are typical for straight cantilever arms?
Straight cantilever arms are typically used for stable products that are not likely to roll forward. Common examples include lumber, sheet goods, steel sheets, boxed materials, skids, and panels. They are useful in warehouses, lumber yards, metal suppliers, and manufacturing facilities. For round or rolling materials, inclined cantilever arms are usually the better choice.
