Review arm capacities and loaded truck access: (617) 404-1171." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack storage system inside a warehouse (https://bostonpalletrack.com/assets/cantilever-hero-3ef0AkpP.jpg) Woburn, Massachusetts # Cantilever Rack in Woburn, MA Cantilever rack in Woburn, MA lets a contractor supply operation present long stock to the aisle without front columns breaking up the loading face. Arms extend outward from uprights, carrying bar, pipe, tube, lumber and sheet packs across selected bearing points. The important distinction is access along the material: operators can approach a bundle or remove a length without working through a pallet-sized opening. (617) 404-1171 Commerce Way contractor materials and Cummings Park light manufacturing offer two different planning briefs. Pipe replenishment may involve full bundles, while assembly stock can include shorter cut lengths. Route 128 and the I-93 / I-95 interchange support receiving connections, but the internal journey from dock to storage determines which arrangement works. Our Woburn equipment hub (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/woburn) helps separate these long-load needs from the building's pallet and case inventory. ## Cantilever rack access begins with the carried load Start the drawing with a loaded vehicle, not an empty aisle. A counterbalance forklift carrying pipe broadside needs clearance for the projecting ends during alignment and reversing. A side-loader carries long material differently; compare its transfer space, aisle requirements and lifting reach using the machine's specifications. Door widths and the turn out of receiving can rule out an otherwise attractive row position. Along Commerce Way, mark where contractor orders are gathered before dispatch so picking does not depend on borrowing that same floor area. At Cummings Park, show the transfer point feeding light assembly and identify which stock is taken by hand. Keep frequently selected lengths within the chosen handling method's reach, with a withdrawal path that remains available when production and receiving are active. ## Specify cantilever racking arms and upright loads together Record maximum bundle depth before selecting arm length. The usable support must suit that depth and the permitted load placement, rather than allowing an oversized pack to hang beyond its bearing surface. Document weight at each supporting position, especially where a bundle is heavier at one end. An individual arm rating cannot establish the capacity of a complete row. Check the combined demand on each upright with all intended levels occupied. Bases, arm elevations and loading on opposite faces are part of that assessment. Upright spacing also follows material stiffness: flexible tube, short remnants and sheet packs may need different support patterns. Specify suitable sheet support accessories and round-stock restraint with the equipment supplier instead of assuming a lumber arrangement will handle every shape. ## Cantilever storage rack choices for one or two faces Choose a single-sided row when one working aisle suits a perimeter position. Consider double-sided uprights for a central area only after providing usable approaches to both faces. Include the bases, stock depth and retrieval space in the footprint. More arms do not necessarily mean more usable inventory positions if long loads cannot reach them. For mixed contractor supply, selective pallet rack can retain individual access to boxed fittings and ordinary pallet loads. Open arms answer a different question: how to support and retrieve lengths that span several positions. Review our long-material product guide (https://bostonpalletrack.com/products/cantilever-rack), then assess Woburn pallet flow lanes (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/woburn/pallet-flow-rack) and local drive-in storage (https://bostonpalletrack.com/service-area/woburn/drive-in-rack) for suitable pallet quantities rather than treating those systems as replacements for pipe access. ## From indoor stock survey to installation scope For cantilever rack placed indoors, measure overhead obstacles above both the stored bundle and its lifting movement. Outdoor storage needs a separate exposure and finish discussion, plus a decision about protecting the inventory itself. In an unheated Woburn unit, discuss winter unloading and assembly conditions while preparing the work sequence; do not assume an indoor roof means every staging area stays dry.
