Engineered Cantilever Storage Solutions for Long & Bulky Materials

Cantilever racking is the ideal storage system for long, oversized, or irregular materials such as steel, lumber, pipes, tubing, panels, and furniture. With an open-front design, high-capacity arms, and adjustable configurations, cantilever racks eliminate vertical obstructions and ensure smooth, safe handling of long loads.

Pac Rac Systems designs, supplies, and installs high-strength cantilever systems engineered for indoor facilities and outdoor yards. Whether you need structural cantilever, VNA configurations, or weather-protected L-Shed and T-Shed systems, we deliver turnkey solutions built for heavy industry and Canadian environments.

Benefits of Cantilever Racking Systems

Unobstructed Access Front column free design improves handling efficiency for long or awkward materials.

Heavy Duty Strength
Structural I-beam columns and bolted arms support high-capacity loads safely.

Flexible Configuration
Mix straight or inclined arms, multiple heights, and single or double-sided layouts.

Expandable Design
Easily add columns and arms as your inventory or facility grows

Applications & Industries

Store beams, tubing, channels, pipes, and plate materials efficiently.

Perfect for dimensional lumber, plywood, trusses, and engineered wood.

Supports long raw materials, work-in-progress inventory, and staging.

Ideal for rebar, panels, framing, and contractor materials.

L-Shed and T-Shed systems protect high-value stock from weather.

Installation & Services

Our team designs cantilever systems using SIM™ Spatial Intelligence Modeling to ensure proper arm spacing, load distribution, aisle planning, and forklift maneuverability. We create CAD drawings, long-load handling strategies, and structural layout recommendations tailored to steel, lumber, pipe, and outdoor yard environments.

Certified crews install structural cantilever racking, VNA configurations, and L-Shed/T-Shed outdoor systems with precise anchoring, leveling, and bracing. Every installation follows manufacturer specifications, stamped engineering requirements, and long-load safety standards to ensure maximum stability and performance.

We perform detailed cantilever system inspections to identify arm deflection, base damage, column wear, and improper loading practices. Where required, we coordinate engineering assessments and PSR documentation to maintain compliance and long-load safety in Canadian facilities and yards.

Pac Rac provides arm replacements, bracing repairs, upright reinforcement, base plate upgrades, component adjustments, and outdoor corrosion mitigation. We also assist with reconfigurations, height changes, and expansions as your long-load inventory grows or diversifies.

We evaluate floor conditions, slab capacity, wind/snow load requirements, VNA aisle constraints, forklift turning radiuses, and outdoor environmental considerations to ensure your cantilever system is engineered correctly from day one.

Whether you’re moving facilities, removing outdoor yard racking, or converting storage layouts, our team safely dismantles, transports, and reinstalls cantilever systems with full labeling, component auditing, and re-anchoring services.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Steel, lumber, pipe, panels, furniture, and any long or oversized materials.

Yes – our L-Shed and T-Shed systems include engineered roof structures and durable finishes.

Yes – additional arms, uprights, bases, and bracing can be added as your inventory grows.

Most projects benefit from engineering review due to long-load dynamics and uneven weight distribution.
