In modern warehousing and logistics systems, efficiently and safely storing irregular or oversized materials has always been a challenge. Cantilever shelves, with their unique design concept, have become the preferred solution for solving such storage problems.
1. Core structure: Simple but not simplistic
The core of cantilever shelves lies in the clever combination of "columns+cantilevers":
Column: As the load-bearing skeleton of the entire system, it is usually made of heavy-duty steel to ensure stable support in the vertical direction.
Cantilever: a key component that extends horizontally and is securely fixed to a column using high-strength connectors such as bolts or clamps. Its length, quantity, and layer height can be flexibly adjusted according to actual storage needs.
Single/double-sided design: The cantilever can be installed only on one side of the column (single-sided), suitable for areas near walls; Or symmetrically installed on both sides of the column (double-sided) to form a central storage channel and improve warehouse space utilization.
2. Classified by "power": matching different carrying requirements
Cantilever shelves are not uniform, and their load-bearing capacity is an important distinguishing dimension:
Lightweight type: Single arm load-bearing capacity is usually below 300kg, suitable for storing lightweight long boards and decorative materials in building materials markets, home furnishing stores, etc.
Medium weight type: A single arm can carry about 300kg to 800kg, commonly used in pipe factories and profile processing workshops to store medium-sized metal pipes and plastic profiles.
Weight type: A single arm can carry over 800kg or even several tons, designed specifically for industrial heavy materials such as heavy steel beams and large robotic arms.
