Cantilever Rack in Orem, UT
Cantilever rack in Orem gives extrusions, bar stock, tubing, and crating lumber an open loading face with no front columns in the way. Arms reach out from a single line of uprights, so a forklift or side-loader sets long material straight onto the support points. That suits the metal and packaging stock moving through Orem's light assembly and component distribution buildings.
The starting point is the material itself: the longest piece, the heaviest bundle, and how it arrives banded. An electronics assembler along University Parkway stores different stock than a fabrication supplier on Geneva Road, and the arm layout should reflect that difference before any steel is ordered.
How cantilever racking carries long loads
A row of this type is a line of upright columns on heavy bases, with arms bolted or pinned at each storage level. Because nothing stands in front of the load, material can overhang the arm ends within the design allowance and still sit stable. That open face is what separates it from pallet rack with front posts.
Arm length follows load depth, and arm capacity follows the actual bundle weight, not an average guessed from a catalog page. Rate each arm for the heaviest load it will carry, then check the upright and base reactions for the full row. Uneven bundles concentrate weight, so the drawing should show real load positions.
Upright spacing depends on material stiffness. Straight bar and rigid conduit tolerate wider gaps than flexible tube or thin sheet, which can sag between arms and become hard to lift out. Where sheet packs need support, a deck over the arms is evaluated with the rack rather than improvised later.
Orem operations we design around
From the Orem Tech Park to Geneva Road and the University Parkway corridor, we lay out these systems for tech assemblers, medical device makers, and component distributors across Utah County.
Planning cantilever storage rack for an Orem building
Measure the clear height
Many Orem buildings along State Street and the tech corridor run 20 to 28 feet clear. Column height, arm levels, and lift-truck mast height all have to agree within that envelope.
Match the access method
Counterbalance forklifts need wider aisles than side-loaders. Where stock runs long, a side-loader or multi-directional truck can cut aisle width and add rows.
Single or double sided
Single-sided rows fit along walls; double-sided rows serve two aisles from one column line. Compare both against the stock list before assigning floor area.
Indoor or outdoor
Galvanized arms and columns handle yard storage for lumber and pipe. Indoor painted steel suits finished extrusions and materials that should stay clean and dry.
Where cantilever rack fits in Orem operations
Orem's mix of technology hardware, medical device assembly, and light manufacturing generates long stock: aluminum extrusions, tubing, threaded rod, crating lumber, and sheet. This rack keeps that material off the floor, sorted by length, and reachable without breaking down bundles.
Against selective pallet rack, this system wins whenever the load is longer than a pallet opening or awkward to bridge across beams. For palletized goods, selective or pallet flow remains the better tool, and many Orem buildings run both, with arms along a wall and pallet rack in the center.
