Plan arm loads, handling aisles and additions with a clear quote." lang: en --- Image: Cantilever Rack system in an industrial warehouse (https://atlantawarehouseracking.com/assets/cantilever-hero-3ef0AkpP.jpg) # Cantilever Rack in Atlanta, GA Long building materials do not fit neatly between pallet-rack uprights. Cantilever rack uses projecting arms to support lengths of material with an open loading face. For Atlanta building-material, flooring and home-improvement distributors, the useful starting point is the complete bundle: its length, weight, support needs and how the forklift picks it up. Wholesale and light-manufacturing space around Marietta, Kennesaw and Gwinnett often combines long stock with palletized inventory. The challenge is keeping lengths accessible without allowing the handling aisle to consume the remaining warehouse. We develop the arm arrangement and truck approach together instead of selecting arms from a nominal bundle weight alone. (404) 724-5043 ## Match Arm Spacing to the Material Being Stored The load must have enough support points along its length. A bundle that bends or shifts cannot be planned like a rigid pallet. Give us the range of material lengths, package widths and heaviest bundles, including any loose stock. We use those details to discuss arm spacing, arm length and the proposed loading arrangement. Cantilever capacity is expressed through the specified arms and columns, not a selective-rack beam capacity label. The number and elevation of loaded arms affect the completed structure. We review the entire arrangement and distinguish the rating of an individual support from the total demand on the column. Truck reach and the space needed to handle the longest load set practical limits. The aisle must accommodate the chosen handling method without stock projecting into a travel route. A CAD plan should show the material envelope and working approach, not just a line representing the rack columns.

The I-20 West corridor through Douglasville and Lithia Springs also supports building-material distribution near the Austell intermodal terminal. Cantilever may handle long stock while selective bays hold packaged products; neither system has to occupy the entire building. Smaller flex spaces in Cobb and along GA-400 differ from newer west-side bulk warehouses. Available clear height, bundle height and forklift lifting capability determine how many arm levels can be serviced. In a lower building, separating slow-moving lengths from frequent picks may be more useful than raising every storage position. Atlanta's long, humid summers influence crew scheduling in warehouses without air conditioning. Spring and summer thunderstorms also matter when unloading is exposed. We agree the receiving location and staging sequence before material arrives, keeping long bundles and rack components out of active handling paths. ## Adding Arms Requires a Configuration Check Existing columns are not automatically approved for more arm levels or heavier bundles. Send manufacturer identification, current elevations and the proposed loads. We review compatibility and coordinate engineering where needed. The updated layout shows arm spacing, the longest bundle and the aisle needed for its approach. We check whether added levels remain within forklift reach and whether adjacent pallet rows leave enough turning room. Shipping and installation availability follow the agreed component scope. ## Recent Installations A sample of racking projects completed across the region.
