Underneath that is usually lumber or pipe stacked on the floor and blocking work areas, and it gets worse every month the layout stays the same. Cantilever rack holds lumber, pipe, tubing, and sheet goods on arms with no front column in the way, so long loads come off the floor and onto rated levels. Before anything is ordered, your Romeoville team gets a drawing, a position count, and a line-item price, so the decision is based on numbers. Call (312) 815-2445 to start a free layout. (312) 815-2445 ## Why Romeoville Warehouses Work With Us Warehouses near the Lewis University Airport area and the Airport Road distribution parks each come with their own limits: usable height, column spacing, dock count. In Romeoville, newer big-box distribution centers with tall clear heights next to older Joliet Road industrial buildings, so we draw every cantilever rack layout to the actual building. Our team has quoted and installed racking for retail distribution and third-party logistics work in Romeoville for decades. With cantilever rack, the deciding factor is normally arms repositioned as your product lengths change, and we put the numbers for that in front of you up front. Being about 25 minutes away in Westmont, with I-55, Weber Road, and Route 53 between us, keeps delivery windows tight and replacement parts on hand. Installation is done by our own crews, and your Romeoville layout stays on file for the next expansion.

Retail distribution Third-party logistics Food & beverage Consumer goods ## How Cantilever Rack Works Arms with nothing in front of them, built for lumber, pipe, and anything a pallet can't hold. 1 ### Columns and anchored bases Upright columns sit on anchored bases. Base depth is set by load and arm length so the run stays stable even under an off-center pick. 2 ### Arms at adjustable heights Arms bolt or pin into the column at set increments and move as your product mix changes. Straight arms suit boxed goods; inclined arms with a lip hold round or loose stock in place. 3 ### Column spacing against sag Spacing between columns is set so bundles don't sag between arms. A common starting rule places arms about half the load length apart, with the ends overhanging evenly. 4 ### Single-sided or double-sided Single-sided runs go against a wall. Double-sided runs stand in open floor and load from both faces, doubling capacity per base without doubling the footprint. ## What a Cantilever Rack Project Includes Before cantilever rack is priced for your Romeoville building, we gather the constraints: usable height, column grid, aisle widths your lifts need, SKU count, and the load mix your retail distribution volume actually moves. Most of that comes from one phone conversation. The deliverable is a CAD layout and a priced bill of material: positions, elevations, aisle widths, and capacities. Since long material off the floor and back into usable positions drives the design, we often model the same Romeoville footprint two ways so you can weigh density against picking speed with real figures. Common cantilever rack parts move from our Westmont stock within days. Our crews install to the approved drawing, anchor every frame, and work around your shifts so third-party logistics production does not stop. Your layout stays on file, so adding a bay next year or replacing a damaged upright starts from where the system already is.
