Learn why cantilever racking is ideal for sheet metal storage. Rocket Racking offers high-capacity, customizable systems for industrial use.
When it comes to storing sheet metal, conventional pallet racking simply won’t do. Sheet materials are heavy, wide, and often awkward to handle. That’s why cantilever racking systems have become the go-to storage solution for metal fabrication facilities, machine shops, and steel distributors.
Rocket Racking is a trusted supplier of cantilever racks specifically engineered for sheet metal storage. We understand the challenges that come with managing large, flat, and sharp-edged materials—and we design solutions that meet the highest safety and efficiency standards.
Why Sheet Metal Requires Cantilever Racks
Sheet metal—whether it’s steel, aluminum, or stainless—is usually stored flat and in large stacks. Using pallet racks can be dangerous due to poor weight distribution and awkward access. Cantilever racks eliminate front columns, allowing full-length, side-loading access with forklifts or cranes.
Benefits of Using Cantilever Racking for Sheet Metal
- Unobstructed Access
Store oversized or wide-format metal sheets without front posts blocking access. Ideal for side-loading by forklift or crane.
- High Load Capacity
Rocket Racking’s arms and bases are designed to support heavy-duty applications with static loads of up to 5,000 kg per level.
- Custom Arm Design
We offer extended-length arms, arm stops, and vertical retainers to secure sheet stacks safely and avoid sliding.
- Durability
All components are powder coated or hot-dip galvanized, ensuring resistance to abrasion and corrosion.
- Space Efficiency
Cantilever racks maximize horizontal space while keeping materials organized and accessible.
