Pipe, tube and sheet need support across their full span. Uprights stand in a single line behind the load, so the front stays open. Operators load from the aisle without clearing a post, and long pieces stay straight. Merced sits where SR-99 and SR-140 meet, and many buildings here receive long freight from both directions. The rack has to handle it without slowing the dock. (559) 620-5206 ## Cantilever Racking Around Merced and Castle Atwater's Castle Commerce Center is rail-served, and some tenants receive long steel by rail. Runs near the rail dock let bundles go straight from car to arms. Plants along Mission Avenue tend to store maintenance stock and stainless tube. A modest single-sided run near the shop usually covers it. Light manufacturers in Merced often run a mix of raw steel and finished frames or assemblies. A double-sided cantilever rack can hold raw stock on one face and finished long parts on the other, so receiving and shipping each work their own aisle. We are a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., supplying and installing since 1997, and we plan each run around how material actually arrives at your building.

Food processing Agricultural distribution Light manufacturing ## Merced Cantilever Rack Planning Process 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.

Concentrating weight at a tip lowers capacity. 2 ### Column load Add every loaded arm on a column; that total must fall within its rating. 3 ### Base reach Bases sit under the lowest arms and set how far the run extends into the aisle. 4 ### Labels Capacity labels on each run tell operators the limit per arm. ## Recent Installations Racking projects completed for warehouses across Fresno and the Central Valley.
