Cantilever
Optimized & Industry-ready Solutions
For Your Long Goods Storage Needs
Cantilever rack suitable for storing long pipes and other materials that can not be loaded with pallets, widely used in mechanical process and building material market industry.
Main Parts!
Frame
Composed of post and base. Post is made from two cold-rolled C type profle. they are surface-in and surface-out welded. This structure is according to the theory of steel structuredesign, make fulluse of the material load resistant capacity, with light weight,strong bearing capacity and low cost. The post with doublerow holes and hole pitch from 75mm to 50mm, the beam hanged on it so you can take 50mm/75mm for the unit and adjust the height of each layer.
Arm
It is welded by two pcs special range of cold rolled C channel.this structure can get strong bearing capacity with light weight and less cost.
Cantilever Rack Guide
1. Determine the number and spacing of support arms.
1a. Use enough arms under a load to prevent
deflection of the load. Deflection causes
undesirable side pressure on the arms.
Using wood blocks on the floor under the load,
test your load for deflection on a two-support system.
1b.If you do not detect any deflection,you may use two support arms.The arm capacity required will be half the load weight, and the upright centerline will be 1/2 of the load length.
1c.If you notice deflection with two supports,
try three supports.If this system works,arm
capacity will be 1/3 of the load weight,and the
upright centerlines will be 1/3 of load length.
If three supports are stil not enough,add
supports as necessary until deflection
is eliminated.
2. Determine arm length.Arm length should equal load depth.
3.Determine upright height.
Start with base height:
+ number of storage levels x load height
+handling clearance [4″to 6″]xnumber of levels
+number of arm levels x arm thickness
=upright height.
Note: Contact Stee/ King forcurrent arm and base dimensions.
Note:Check limitations at your plant such as ceiling clearance or fork lift height.
Note:Top arm leve/ must be below the top of the column.
4. Determine capacities required.
- Arms:Load weight÷number of arms per level=arm capacity.(Assuming each arm supports an equal amount of the load)
- Uprights:Number of arms per side x load per arm.
5.“Bracing lengths”refer to the horizontal centerline distance from column to column,as in the diagram. See Step 1 for the proper number of braces per type of load.
