Rectangular Aluminium Non Polished Cantilever Racks, Feature : Durable, High Quality

Designing A Cantilever Rack System
The key to a successful cantilever rack system is the answer to one question : what is the product (load) being stored? The answer must include the length, depth height and weight of the product. Once this data is ascertained it becomes a simple matter to determine the required arms, uprights and braces.

A. Determine The Number And Spacing of Arms
The load must be supported by enough arms to prevent load deflection. Deflection may cause damage to the load being stored as well as the arms (figure A1.) To detect deflection, Place the load over two wooden blocks (to represent cantilever arms) as shown in figure A2. If deflections not present it is acceptable to use a two arm system as long as this does not create an overload condition. If the load shows deflection use three locks as shown in figure A3 or four blocks as in figure A4. Important : The load should overhang the end arms by one-half the distance from upright centerline to upright centerline. Failure to observe this measure may cause an overload condition on the arms.
