Engineering Arms for Maximum Load Capacities

We rely on licensed structural engineers to calculate the precise load limits for your heavy, awkward freight. We build our cantilever systems to handle your maximum weights safely, ensuring the arms never sag or fail under pressure.

Center-of-Gravity Calibration for Cantilever Racks

Accommodating over-dimensional payloads requires cantilever racks engineered to calculate and offset extreme center-of-gravity shifts dynamically. Deploying this load-bearing architecture within a Yuma distribution matrix necessitates specific metallurgical composition to resist metal fatigue caused by the continuous application of eccentric loads.

Technical Inquiry: Q&A

Question

"What is the optimal base-to-column ratio to counteract unilateral deflection when storing oversized extrusions in Yuma, AZ?"

Fiona Gallagher High-Pile Permit Consultant

The base length must equal or exceed the length of the longest load-bearing arm. This maintains the center of mass within the footprint of the heavy-duty wedge anchors, counteracting overturning moments and preventing the structural column from exceeding allowable unilateral deflection limits.

Professional Cantilever System Designs

Designing a safe cantilever system near the I-8 / US-95 (International Cross-Border Logistics) freight corridor takes deep structural knowledge. We have successfully navigated these heavy-duty requirements for clients across AZ. Read our FAQ below to learn more, or simply call us to discuss your storage needs.

Cantilever Rack Setup FAQ

Q: Are cantilever arms adjustable?

Yes. You can move the heavy arms up and down the main towers to fit whatever size loads your Yuma facility is handling that month.

Q: Do I need single-sided or double-sided cantilever racks?

Put single-sided racks against your walls. Use double-sided racks in the middle of the floor so your drivers can load both sides from different aisles.

Q: Can I store regular pallets on cantilever arms in Yuma?

No, that is a massive safety hazard. Keep your pallets on selective racks and leave the cantilever setups exclusively for your long, bulky goods.
