How wide should our forklift aisles be in Stockbridge?

Aisle width must match your forklift's specified loaded turning requirements and the load being handled. We check the exact truck, pallet overhang, approach movements and traffic pattern before dimensioning the aisles. The longest bundle and its handling method also determine turning space.

Can you handle design, supply and installation?

Yes. We coordinate design, supply and installation by experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. The work follows the agreed layout and load requirements, with rack anchored to the floor, aligned and capacity information provided at handover. Work zones and access are agreed with your warehouse team before installation starts.

Which rack system fits our inventory?

Cantilever suits lumber, pipe, profiles and long bundles that need an open loading face. Palletized cases generally belong in selective or another pallet rack system; both can be planned on the same drawing.

Can new bays match the rack we already have?

Yes, new additions can be planned after we identify the installed system and check connection details, dimensions and configuration capacity. Similar-looking connectors do not establish compatibility across manufacturers. Added arms also require a check of the loaded column and base limits.

How do you calculate usable pallet positions?

The usable count comes from a CAD layout of your actual building, not a percentage estimate. We combine pallet heights, clear height, forklift reach and the column grid, then reserve the aisles, receiving space and picking access your operation needs. For long material we count usable arm positions alongside any pallet storage.

Stockbridge, Georgia

Cantilever Rack in Stockbridge, GA

Stockbridge warehouses around I-675 and Highway 138 often balance storage with cross-dock activity. Freight that leaves the same shift needs a clear path, while grocery and building-supply reserves still need somewhere to go. Increasing density should not turn a working transfer area into a maze that drivers must negotiate to reach their next load. Long stock on the floor forces operators to move unrelated bundles before reaching the piece they need. Cantilever rack provides open-front arm storage for lumber, pipe, profiles and other loads that do not suit a standard pallet bay. The design starts with bundle length and support requirements rather than pallet count.

Cantilever Rack in Stockbridge, GA starts with building-supply pipe and trim handled as long bundles. We specify arm length, spacing and capacity to the material and handling method. A long bundle needs adequate support across its length, and the aisle must allow the load to turn into position.

Why Stockbridge Warehouses Work With Us

Highway 138, the I-675 corridor and Eagles Landing business areas connect Stockbridge distribution to south-metro freight routes. We distinguish goods that belong in rack from goods passing through a cross-dock. Beverage and grocery stock need a rotation plan; building supply may need long-load access. Your drawing allocates storage around those activities and includes the turning and staging room that daily transfers need, rather than counting transit space as permanent reserve.

For cantilever rack, the local operating question is building-supply pipe and trim handled as long bundles. Cantilever warehouse racking solves a long-load access problem. We consider single-sided storage at a wall versus double-sided rows on open floor, with handling clearance for the longest bundle. Arm ratings, column capacity and the support pattern are reviewed together rather than treating every arm as interchangeable.

As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., we give your Stockbridge team one contact for the drawing, scope and installation schedule. You can compare the proposed arrangement with your current process, ask for revisions and see what is included in the price. The consultation is free; the goal is a storage plan your warehouse can use, with component information available for later additions.

How Cantilever Rack Works

Arms with nothing in front of them, built for lumber, pipe, and anything a pallet can't hold.

Columns and anchored bases

Upright columns sit on bases anchored to the floor. Base depth is set by load and arm length so the run stays stable even under an off-center pick.

Arms at adjustable heights

Arms bolt or pin into the column at set increments and move as your product mix changes. Straight arms suit boxed goods; inclined arms with a lip hold round or loose stock in place.

Column spacing against sag

Column spacing follows the material's length, stiffness, weight and required support points. We check bundle support and allowable overhang against the system specification rather than applying one spacing rule to every load.

Single-sided or double-sided

Single-sided runs go against a wall. Double-sided runs stand in open floor and load from both faces, doubling capacity per base without doubling the footprint.

What a Cantilever Rack Project Includes

Cantilever Rack work in Stockbridge begins with the operating needs of your building in the the south metro I-675 and Highway 138 industrial area area. We collect the length, depth and weight of every load family, including the longest and heaviest bundles. Your handling method matters: forklift, side loader or manual selection changes the necessary clearance. We ask whether round stock needs retention and whether sheet goods or flexible material need a different support pattern from a stiff, banded bundle.

The drawing sets column spacing, arm lengths, level elevations and working aisles. Single-sided and double-sided arrangements are compared where both fit the floor. The quote identifies bases, columns, arms, bracing, anchors and any specified retention accessories. Capacities are documented for the arms and the complete configuration; the sum of arm labels alone is not a substitute for checking the loaded column.

Installation anchors the bases, aligns and braces the run, and sets arms to the approved elevations. Before handover we review how the material is supported and how operators will place and retrieve the longest loads. Your team receives the layout and capacity information for stock allocation. If product lengths change later, arm repositioning and added levels are reviewed against the existing column and base limits before the storage pattern is altered. Before the work is closed, we review the agreed scope with your warehouse manager, identify any outstanding items and explain the component information your team should retain for future changes.
