Arms on a line of uprights carry the load with nothing in front, so a twenty- or forty-foot length goes on in one move. (410) 305-9766 ## Heavy Industrial Loads on Cantilever Racking Bar, pipe and structural steel are dense. A single bundle can outweigh several pallets, so cantilever racking for this work uses heavy uprights, deep bases and arms rated for the real bundle weight. We size from your heaviest bundle on each level and the number of arms that share it. Getting that number right is the most important part of the design.

Yards near Sollers Point and North Point store steel in the weather, which calls for galvanized or coated components to resist corrosion. A roof deck between uprights keeps rain and snow off material that should stay dry. Open-arm outdoor runs suit steel that tolerates weather. Winter work outdoors also affects installation scheduling, so we plan yard installs with the season in mind. ## Cantilever Rack Arm Length and Spacing for Steel Arm length matches bundle depth. Heavy steel is stiff, so uprights can be spaced wider than for flexible pipe, but every bundle still needs at least two arms and usually more. Overhang past the end arms should be limited so the load stays balanced. We lay out arm positions for your most common lengths. ## Side-Loaders, Forklifts and Overhead Cranes Long steel is easiest to move with a side-loader or a multi-directional truck traveling parallel to the rack. That keeps aisles narrow. Counterbalance forklifts work for shorter lengths with wider aisles. Some older buildings also have overhead cranes; in that case the arm heights and spacing must leave room for the crane hook and slings. ## Single or Double-Sided Cantilever Storage Rack Along a yard fence or building wall, a single-sided cantilever storage rack is common. In the middle of a yard or warehouse, double-sided runs double the storage per foot of upright. The choice usually comes down to which faces your truck can reach. ## Receiving Long Steel From the Terminal Steel arriving from the Dundalk Marine Terminal usually lands on flatbeds. The cantilever rack should sit close to where those trucks unload, with clear approach for a side-loader or crane. We plan the unloading area and the cantilever racking run together, so bundles move from trailer to arm in one trip. Labeling levels by size and grade keeps the counter and the yard working from the same list, and a short cantilever storage rack for drops near the saw keeps remnants from collecting on the floor. ## Bases and Floor Anchoring Heavy steel loads put real force into the base. Every upright is anchored to the floor, and base length is chosen so the run stays stable when one side is loaded and the other is empty. We check that condition, not just the fully loaded case. ## Port Freight Beyond Long Loads Most Dundalk distributors also move palletized imports. Pallets that must rotate by date work in a Dundalk pallet flow system (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/dundalk/pallet-flow-rack). Long runs of identical import pallets fit drive-in rack in Dundalk (https://baltimorepalletracks.com/service-area/dundalk/drive-in-rack). We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., which has supplied and installed rack since 1997.
