Cantilever Racking · Tampa
Cantilever Racking in Tampa — Built for What Won't Sit on a Pallet.
Pipe, lumber, sheet goods, tubing, extrusions — anything long, awkward, or oversized needs a different system than standard pallet rack. Cantilever racking is built for exactly that.
What's Included
Arms
Straight or inclined, sized to what you're storing, with capacity matched to actual load, not a catalog default.
Bracing
Cross-bracing and base plates to spec, so the system holds under real-world load, not just on paper.
Who uses cantilever racking
Lumber yards, pipe and tubing distributors, metal fabricators, sheet good suppliers, and any operation storing long or irregular material.
Same process, same crew
We measure the space, check slab and clearance, and spec arm length, height, and capacity to what you're actually storing.
Where we work
Serving Tampa, Clearwater, Largo, Pinellas Park, St. Petersburg, and the Greater Tampa Bay area, plus Florida's Gulf Coast. See also Pinellas installation.
Lumber, Pipe, Steel & Outdoor Cantilever
Lumber yards and building supply
Bundled lumber, sheet goods, and trim on straight arms, sized so a forklift can load and pull without fighting the next bay.
Pipe, tube, and bar stock
Round stock rolls. Inclined arms or arm-end stops keep it where it belongs, and arm capacity is matched to the actual bundle weight.
Outdoor yards in Florida weather
Rain, sun, humidity, and salt air are hard on bare steel. For outdoor cantilever we'll talk through galvanized versus painted finishes and what makes sense for how long you plan to be there.
New or used cantilever
Used cantilever can fit when the columns, arms, and bases match and the condition is right. Every quote says which components are new and which are used. Have cantilever you don't need? We buy it.

Straight Answers — Cantilever Racking
What is cantilever racking used for?
Anything long, awkward, or oversized that won't sit on a pallet — pipe, lumber, sheet goods, tubing, bar stock, and extrusions. Lumber yards, pipe and tubing distributors, metal fabricators, and contractor yards are the most common users.
Single-sided or double-sided cantilever?
Single-sided runs along a wall; double-sided runs down the middle of a floor with access from both sides. We pick the layout during the walkthrough based on your space and how you load and pick.
Straight arms or inclined arms?
Straight arms suit flat, stable loads like sheet goods and bundled lumber. Inclined arms help keep round stock like pipe and tubing from rolling off. Arm length and capacity are sized to what you actually store — not a catalog default.
How do you size a cantilever system?
We measure the space, check slab and overhead clearance, and spec column height, arm length, capacity, and bracing to your real loads. Columns and bases are anchored to spec so the system holds under real-world use.
Is galvanized cantilever worth it outdoors?
For yards near the water or rack that lives in the rain, it often is, because bare or painted steel rusts faster in Florida. It costs more up front, so we'll lay out both options for your site.
Do you sell or buy used cantilever racking?
Both. We source used cantilever when it fits the job, and we buy usable cantilever when you no longer need it. See used racking and selling your rack.
Can you install cantilever alongside pallet rack?
Yes. Plenty of buildings need both — selective rack for palletized product and cantilever for long material. One walkthrough and one quote covers the whole floor.
