Compare layouts and handling options. Call (617) 404-1171." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack storage system inside a warehouse (https://bostonpalletrack.com/assets/cantilever-hero-3ef0AkpP.jpg) Newton, Massachusetts # Cantilever Rack in Newton, MA Cantilever rack in Newton offers open-front support for long products without front columns dividing the loading face. Arms extend from vertical uprights to carry bar, pipe, tube, lumber, and sheet stock on an arrangement selected for the material. This separates long-item access from the framed openings used for conventional pallet storage. (617) 404-1171 Needham Street and Wells Avenue include light-industrial and flex settings where showroom, office, and warehouse functions meet. For these hybrid spaces, storage planning needs to account for customer-facing views and everyday movement as well as inventory volume. Start by identifying which stock belongs near the showroom and which belongs in a handling zone. ## Cantilever storage rack placement beside the showroom An open loading face does not mean every position should face a shared circulation area. Sketch the routes used for receiving, staff picking, and showroom activity, then place long-stock handling where these movements can remain distinct. Include stairs, mezzanines, doors, and fixed equipment in the measured plan. A single-sided row may fit along a warehouse boundary, presenting one working face. Double-sided storage can serve an interior position when access exists on both sides. Compare the real footprint of bases, projecting stock, and handling aisles rather than assuming the two-sided option automatically makes better use of a smaller flex unit. ## Cantilever racking access and finish choices A forklift requires space to align with the load, raise it, and withdraw. A side-loader may suit long-material travel, but the selected vehicle still sets practical aisle requirements. Trace the longest piece through doorways and around corners between receiving and storage; an accessible row is of limited use if its stock cannot reach it. Finish discussions should identify dry indoor storage, covered exterior space, or exposed outdoor use. Compare available surfaces against those conditions rather than selecting solely for appearance. In a showroom-adjacent warehouse, visual presentation may matter, but it does not replace matching the finish and support arrangement to the working environment. ## Cantilever rack arms, spacing, and load capacity Arm length needs to match the depth and support requirements of each load. Upright spacing must also suit the length and stiffness of the stored material. Short display-related components and full-length lumber may need different support intervals, even if they are purchased for the same order. Review the whole configuration’s capacity as well as the rating of individual arms. Uprights, bases, arm elevations, and the distribution of weight affect the assembled system. Submit actual bundle weights and dimensions instead of treating an average item weight as a substitute for the heaviest load that will occupy a position. ## Storage rack choices for pallets and long products Selective pallet rack offers direct access to pallet positions and may suit boxed products that accompany showroom orders. Long lengths benefit from the open support face instead of being threaded between front frames. Comparing both formats helps avoid dedicating an entire storage area to equipment that only suits part of the inventory. Use the Newton service area (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/newton) and cantilever rack overview (https://bostonpalletrack.com/products/cantilever-rack) to frame the long-stock discussion. The local drive-in rack (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/newton/drive-in-rack) and pallet flow rack (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/newton/pallet-flow-rack) pages address other ways to organize palletized inventory, with different implications for access and replenishment. Newton customers contact our local division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. At the parent company, supply and installation of warehouse equipment have continued since 1997. For a Needham Street or Wells Avenue inquiry, bring a plan showing the boundaries between display, assembly, and warehouse uses, together with the material sizes that need dedicated support. The consultation uses your showroom boundaries and material list to prepare a CAD plan with itemized pricing. We identify new equipment, inventory transfers and installation responsibilities, then schedule and manage experienced crews for agreed work zones. Component staging and dates are confirmed for the quoted arrangement.
