Call to plan arm spacing, load capacity and forklift access." lang: en --- NEW PALLET RACK · LAYOUT · INSTALLATION (256) 980-3829 (2569803829) RACK SYSTEMS / HUNTSVILLE # Cantilever Rack in Huntsville, AL Long loads need support along their length and room to enter the storage position without a front upright in the way. Cantilever rack serves lumber, pipe, metal stock and building materials across the US-72 corridor, Chase Industrial Park and Decatur's river-served industrial areas. Image: Cantilever Rack with warehouse load storage positions (https://huntsvillepalletrack.com/assets/cantilever-rack-HMeRbmPP.jpg) Cantilever Rack · New storage systems ## Arm spacing follows the material Send the lengths, bundle sizes and weights of the stock you handle. A bundle of pipe and a pack of lumber may need different support spacing even when the total weight is similar. Arm capacity, column capacity and the number of supporting arms are reviewed together. We also need to know whether loads are bundled or stored as loose pieces. The rack can be single-sided or double-sided depending on the space and access pattern. End loading, side approach and the forklift's handling attachment affect the layout. Long materials need a turning path that is different from a standard pallet aisle; include those turns in the drawing rather than treating the rack footprint as the whole space requirement. ## Separate long stock from pallet storage Building-material users on US-72 may carry both long stock and palletized fittings. Cantilever for the long pieces and selective pallet rack for the shorter packaged inventory can keep the two handling patterns distinct. Do not assign pallet positions to lengths that overhang into a working aisle. At Chase and North Huntsville, older, lower-clear warehouse buildings limit the number of arm levels. Newer buildings at Greenbrier and Huntsville West offer 32–36 ft clear heights but still require a forklift that can handle the material at the planned elevation. Height alone does not solve the reach and turning questions for long stock. ## Pipe and metals moving through Decatur Mallard Fox Creek Industrial Park and the Port of Decatur serve river- and rail-connected industrial users. Materials received in bundles need a staging plan before they are transferred onto arms. We review where incoming stock is checked, how it reaches the rack and where cut or outbound groups wait. Hot, humid summers affect installation staging in non-air-conditioned Huntsville-area buildings. Agree the working areas and unloading sequence so long rack components do not occupy the same turning space as production materials. The layout can include separate shelving for small fittings without sending pickers into the long-load handling aisle. ## Warehouse Racking Questions What information is needed for pipe rack near US-72? List pipe lengths, bundle dimensions, weights and the method of handling. We use those details to review arm spacing, storage levels and the approach aisle. Can a Chase warehouse combine cantilever and pallet rack? Yes. Keep the long-material turning path separate from standard pallet handling, and check clear height and forklift access for both storage areas. Is arm capacity the only rating that matters? No. The supporting arms, columns, load placement and overall arrangement must be considered together. A single arm rating does not define the entire storage position. ## Plan your cantilever rack layout Pallet sizes. Load weights. Forklift reach. Let’s work through the layout.
