McDonnell Boulevard store metal lengths and awkward assemblies next to boxed inventory. Long bundles occupy transit space, and supporting them on standard pallet beams makes access unnecessarily complicated. Cantilever rack provides an open loading face for long material on arms projecting from columns. Bundle length alone does not set support spacing: stiffness, weight distribution, arm length, and the handling movement all matter. We compare single-sided and double-sided runs against your load families, available approach room, and the usable height of the building. Match arm capacities and support points to the actual lengths and handling equipment. Start with your building drawing and current load information so the proposal addresses the immediate bottleneck rather than selling capacity you cannot use. (314) 338-4815: 3143384815 ## Why Hazelwood Warehouses Work With Us Planning around Hazelwood Logistics Center, Howdershell, and James S. McDonnell Boulevard starts with how the local operation handles material, not with a standard rack diagram. Airport-oriented freight, aerospace suppliers, automotive operations, and cold-chain businesses share this North County corridor. Inbound materials can turn quickly, while reserve inventory follows a different rhythm. Staging room, identifiable positions, and truck maneuvering need to remain visible in the design rather than becoming leftover space between rack rows. For this project, the central decision is straightforward: match arm capacities and support points to the actual lengths and handling equipment. Cantilever warehouse racking should support material at the right points without asking the operator to twist a long load through a tight approach. We check arm ratings, column and base capacity, end overhang, and restraint for round stock. Different products may need different arm spacings instead of one nominal configuration across the entire row. As a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co., St. Louis Pallet Racks gives you a single point of contact for the free warehouse consultation, layout revisions, component questions, and installation planning. We explain what is included, identify unresolved measurements, and keep changes visible in an itemized quote. If your operating priorities change, the drawing is reviewed before material is released rather than leaving your team to work around a surprise. - Free warehouse consultation - CAD layout with storage counts - One contact for layout, delivery, and installation Image: Cantilever warehouse racking holding steel tubing (https://stlouispalletracks.com/assets/cantilever-2b-G7pQApUm.jpg) Image: Cantilever rack storing lumber and wood products (https://stlouispalletracks.com/assets/cantilever-3b-HMeRbmPP.jpg) ### Local Project Context Hazelwood Logistics Center, Howdershell industrial, James S. McDonnell corridor. Planning around the I-270 and Lindbergh corridor near the airport. ### Operations We Support Aerospace suppliers · Automotive · Cold chain distribution · Freight forwarding ## How Cantilever Rack Works Arms with nothing in front of them, built for lumber, pipe, and anything a pallet can't hold. 1 ### 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. 2 ### 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. 3 ### Column spacing against sag Spacing between columns is set so bundles don't sag between arms. A common starting rule places arms about half the load length apart, with the ends overhanging evenly. 4 ### 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 Your Cantilever Rack Project Includes The layout also follows the longest bundle through its complete approach and retrieval movement. We reserve the space needed to turn and place it without obstructing neighboring pallet rows or the receiving route. Material families with different stiffness may receive separate support spacing. The approved drawing and itemized quote show those choices so arm quantity, capacity, and handling room can be reviewed together before purchase. Cantilever specification starts and ends with the load. We collect bundle dimensions, weight per bundle, and how material is handled - forklift forks, a side loader, or by hand off a cart - because that determines arm length, arm capacity, and how much clearance each level needs. From there we set column height and spacing, choose straight or inclined arms, and decide whether lips are needed to keep round stock from rolling. Single-sided runs get positioned along a wall; double-sided runs get aisle dimensions matched to whatever's moving material in and out. The quote itemizes columns, bases, arms, bracing, and anchors, with a CAD drawing showing the run, arm levels, and rated capacities per arm. Installation partners anchor bases, plumb columns, brace the run, and set arm elevations to the drawing. The result is arms you can reposition as inventory changes, capacity ratings for every level, and the floor space that long material used to occupy. ### What We Need to Plan It - What are the dimensions of the product being stored, length included? - What's the typical weight per bundle? - Straight arms or inclined arms - do you need lips to hold round stock? - Single-sided along a wall, or double-sided in open floor? - What's the clear height and the reach of your handling equipment? ### Where This Service Fits - Lumber, plywood, and sheet goods - Pipe, tube, conduit, and bar stock - Steel service center inventory - Furniture, doors, and windows - Long or awkward loads currently sitting on the floor ## Recent Installations A look at pallet rack installations our crews have completed for warehouses across the St. Louis metro area.
