Cantilever Rack in Lansdale
Lansdale metal and fabrication suppliers need arm spacing that supports their longest stock and still leaves room for handling equipment near production storage. For Lansdale businesses connected to PA 63, the next storage decision needs to preserve access as well as recover floor space.
Cantilever Rack in Lansdale should solve that specific storage problem, not simply add steel. We compare pallet or carton dimensions, load weights, inventory depth and handling equipment before selecting a configuration. Your layout shows usable storage positions and the working aisles that remain. You can compare the investment against the space recovered before ordering. Share your inventory profile and building dimensions for a free warehouse consultation and an itemized quote that gives your team a clear next decision.
Why Lansdale Warehouses Work With Us
The Lansdale operation described above has a different storage brief from a generic regional warehouse. PA 63 and PA 309 connect its deliveries, while the SEPTA Lansdale rail corridor and West Point help define the surrounding business activity. We consider those routes when discussing delivery windows and material staging, without assuming every building has the same dock access. Businesses supporting manufacturing supply, pharmaceutical support and parts distribution need the storage plan to follow actual loads and shipment patterns. That means asking which inventory arrives together, which items must remain accessible and how the next expansion will change the mix.
That local problem is the starting point for your cantilever rack layout: lansdale metal and fabrication suppliers need arm spacing that supports their longest stock and still leaves room for handling equipment near production storage. We show how arm length and capacity set by the bundles you handle changes access, replenishment and capacity in your Lansdale building. We also account for single-sided runs along the wall, double-sided in open floor, rather than settling those details after purchase. Our connection to Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. gives you a single project conversation covering layout, material selection and installation. You receive a drawing and itemized scope you can discuss with operations before committing to a configuration.

How Cantilever Rack Works
Arms with nothing in front of them, built for lumber, pipe, and anything a pallet can't hold.
Columns and anchored bases
Upright columns sit on bases anchored to the floor. Base depth is set by load and arm length so the run stays stable even under an off-center pick.
Arms at adjustable heights
Arms bolt or pin into the column at set increments and move as your product mix changes. Straight arms suit boxed goods; inclined arms with a lip hold round or loose stock in place.
Column spacing against sag
Spacing between columns is set so bundles don't sag between arms. A common starting rule places arms about half the load length apart, with the ends overhanging evenly.
Single-sided or double-sided
Single-sided runs go against a wall. Double-sided runs stand in open floor and load from both faces, doubling capacity per base without doubling the footprint.
What a Cantilever Rack Project Includes
Cantilever specification starts and ends with the load. We collect bundle dimensions, weight per bundle, and how material is handled - forklift forks, a side loader, or by hand off a cart - because that determines arm length, arm capacity, and how much clearance each level needs.
From there we set column height and spacing, choose straight or inclined arms, and decide whether lips are needed to keep round stock from rolling. Single-sided runs get positioned along a wall; double-sided runs get aisle dimensions matched to whatever's moving material in and out.
The quote itemizes columns, bases, arms, bracing, and anchors, with a CAD drawing showing the run, arm levels, and rated capacities per arm. Installation partners anchor bases, plumb columns, brace the run, and set arm elevations to the drawing.
The result is arms you can reposition as inventory changes, capacity ratings for every level, and the floor space that long material used to occupy.
For your Lansdale project we also document the assumptions behind the drawing: available floor, clear height, load dimensions, handling clearances and the quantity of each storage position. If those inputs change, the layout is revised before materials are released. Delivery and installation are scheduled against your operating windows and material access. The finished plan gives your team a reference for future expansion, replacement components and the load configuration the system was designed to carry.
