What
is
Cantilever
Rack?
Cantilever
Rack
is a
freestanding
storage
unit
with
horizontal
load
carrying
arms
extending
outward
from
a
single
vertical
column.
The
absence
of a
vertical
support
on
the
outboard
ends
of
the
arms
permits
uninterrupted
storage
of
long
lengths
of
material.
Cantilever
Rack
is
the
ideal
system
for
storing
furniture,
steel
bars,
pipe
and
tubing,
lumber
and
other
long,
heavy
items
that
must
be
kept
off
the
floor...provides
instant
accessibility
to
one
piece
or a
full
load.
Forklift
easily
loads
off
and
on
arms
and
bases.
Being
modular
in
nature,
additional
arms,
uprights
and
braces
may
be
added
as
storage
requirements
change.
Cantilever
Uprights:
What
are
they?
Uprights
consist
of a
vertical
column
and
a
horizontal
base
which
is
bolted
to
the
column.
A
minimum
of
two
uprights
must
be
ordered
to
form
a
storage
bay.
Each
edge
of
the
column
is
punched
vertically
on
3"
centers
so
it
may
be
used
as a
single
or
double
sided
upright
depending
on
the
size
of
base
used.
NOTE:
The
arms
must
never
be
placed
on
the
back
side
of a
single
sided
upright
and
base.
Standard
upright
and
base
color
is
gray.
Holes
are
provided
in
the
base
to
anchor
the
upright
to
the
floor.
Uprights
must
never
be
attached
to
walls,
columns
or
structures.
Cantilever
Arms:
What
are
they?
Cantilever
arms
are
the
heart
of
the
rack
system.
Proper
selection
can
make
or
break
a
successful
storage
plan.
MECO
OMAHA
offers
straight
arms
(generally
used
for
storing
stable
loads
such
as
lumber,
steel
sheets,
cartons
and
skids)
and
inclined
arms
(for
cylindrical
objects
or
loads
that
tend
to
roll
forward).
Arms
can
be
adjusted
on
3"
centers
up
and
down
the
upright
and
are
available
in
lengths
to
60"
in a
variety
of
capacities.
The
hair
pin
keeper
permits
instant
adjustability
and
is
easily
inserted
and
removed
for
adjustment
of
arm
height.
Lips
are
available
on
all
MECO
OMAHA
arms.
Standard
arm
color
is
gray.
Brace
Sets:
What
are
they?
Braces
are
structural
channel
members
that
are
bolted
between
pairs
of
uprights
to
provide
lateral
stability
to
the
rack
system.
X-bracing
is
utilized
to
increase
the
lateral
stability
of
the
taller
(15'
to
20')
uprights.
Brace
lengths
are
measured
from
centerline
of
upright
to
centerline
of
the
next
upright
and
are
sold
in
sets
rather
than
individual
pieces.
Standard
brace
color
is
gray.
