Cantilever Rack in Merced, CA

Cantilever Racking Around Merced and Castle

Merced Corridors That Shape Layout

Mission Avenue plants and Castle Commerce Center tenants receive long material by truck off SR-99 and SR-140, and in some cases by rail.

We need your item list with lengths, weights and quantities, and a floor plan with doors and any rail dock.

Then we choose between single and double sided, set arm length and levels, and confirm aisle width for your forklift or side-loader.

Ag distributors around Merced Street store irrigation pipe and steel posts that move heavily in spring. Plan the cantilever storage rack for the peak count, not the winter count, so the run is not overloaded when demand picks up.

Side-loaders are common in long-goods yards for a reason. They travel parallel to a cantilever rack and set loads directly onto arms, which allows narrow aisles. We will show the aisle width for your actual truck before you commit to a layout.

Older buildings near the rail corridor tend to have lower clear heights and column grids. Shorter uprights placed between building columns usually give the cleanest result.

Here is a quick way to judge fit. If an item is long, bulky, or flexible, and you keep enough of it to fill several arms, a cantilever rack is the right tool. If it ships on pallets, selective rack is. Most Merced buildings end up with both, and the cantilever storage rack usually sits closest to the door where long freight comes in.

Your Merced proposal prices the steel, the floor anchors and labor from experienced installation crews we schedule and manage. Visit the Merced service area, the cantilever rack product page, Merced pallet flow rack and Merced drive-in rack.

Even loading

Ratings assume load spread across arms. Concentrating weight at a tip lowers capacity.

Column load

Add every loaded arm on a column; that total must fall within its rating.

Base reach

Bases sit under the lowest arms and set how far the run extends into the aisle.

Labels

Capacity labels on each run tell operators the limit per arm.
