# Cantilever Rack in Auburn, WA

Cantilever rack in Auburn gives aerospace suppliers a separate home for long extrusion, pipe and bar stock without front columns interrupting access. Projecting arms carry material back to upright columns and bases, leaving the loading face open for bundles that cannot be treated as ordinary pallets.

Start with the longest piece and the smallest remaining bundle. Those two conditions can demand different support arrangements, especially when partially consumed stock returns from cutting. Arm spacing must protect the material throughout its working life, not just when a complete delivery arrives. The cantilever rack review for Auburn records these operating differences before equipment selection.

## Build cantilever racking around extrusion lengths

We examine where each bundle contacts its supports. Several arms may carry one load, but contact and stiffness determine the reaction at each point; dividing total weight by arm count does not establish an acceptable arm capacity. Uneven packing can concentrate weight on fewer supports.

Arm length follows bundle depth and the required placement position. Upright selection then accounts for the proposed elevations, cumulative supported weight and configuration. A taller column or another arm level is not automatically compatible with an existing arrangement, even when individual bundles remain unchanged.

Seattle Pallet Racks operates as a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co.; our parent has been supplying and installing storage equipment since 1997. For this project, we translate material measurements into an equipment schedule rather than treating every extrusion bundle alike.

### Plan for aerospace material handoffs

Along C Street SW, aerospace support storage may need to release individual profiles beside full bundles. West Valley Hwy industrial operations can face the same distinction between incoming stock and cut material. Separate locations should keep identification visible while giving both lengths enough supporting arms.

## Specify cantilever rack arms and uprights together

Single-sided storage can serve a perimeter, while double-sided uprights create two working faces in an open area. The latter needs usable access on both sides and a capacity review for its intended loading conditions. Neither option removes the need to account for base projection and approaching forks.

For indoor stock, consider moisture carried in with deliveries; for outdoor positions, establish the expected wet exposure before choosing finishes and component details. Pipe restraints and any sheet-support accessories must suit their specific loads. Selective pallet rack remains the alternative for boxed components supported on pallets, not a substitute for long-stock support planning.

A Free Design Consultation reviews the arm schedule and material examples. We schedule experienced installation crews and manage their work against the agreed arrangement, including staging and access boundaries. Handover should identify arm ratings, upright limits and the approved bundle positions before the first extrusion is placed.

## Evaluate the cantilever storage rack footprint

A cantilever rack drawing should connect support positions with the actual pickup movement. These checks establish whether the proposed arrangement accommodates full deliveries, smaller remnants and the truck carrying them.

1

### Measure the profiles

Record full lengths, bundle depths and the weight range, including offcuts that will return to storage after machining or fabrication.

2

### Locate support contacts

Show the number and spacing of arms beneath each material family, reviewing stiffness and concentrated reactions rather than assuming equal weight shares.

3

### Trace vehicle movement

Compare a forklift carrying stock crosswise with a sideloader carrying it lengthwise, using the real load envelope through turns and placement.

4

### Confirm elevations

Select arm levels around lift access, bundle height and upright capacity, then document which material group belongs at each position.
