What is a cantilever support armrest?
The Cantilever Support Arm Shelf is a special storage system designed for storing long or irregularly sized materials such as steel pipes, wood, concrete slabs, or building materials. With a columnless structure at the front, the shelves allow for easy and quick operation when picking or stacking.
Different from traditional shelves, Cantilever support arm shelves are designed with arms protruding from the main pillar to support the lifting of goods. The support arm shelf can be flexibly adjusted in terms of the height, length and load capacity of the arm, to meet the storage requirements of each type of goods to the maximum.
Cantilever Rack Structure
- Pillar Base (Load-bearing Column): This is the main load-bearing part, which is attached directly to the shelf base. The height and load of the pillar legs are designed according to the specific needs and requirements of customers.
- Footrest: Installed close to the floor, the footrest supports the pillar foot, helping the shelf stand firmly and stably. The size of the base depends on the size and load of the support.
- Support: As a load-bearing unit directly from the cargo, the support arm can be designed in a variety of styles and sizes, which can be straight or tilted, to suit the type of stored goods. The length of the support arm usually ranges from 600mm to 2500mm.
- Horizontal and cross braces: These bars connect between the pillars, creating stability and certainty for the entire shelf system. The width and length of the tie rod are designed based on the size and load of the goods.
- Screws and bolts: Used to bond shelf parts, making installation and dismantling flexible and easy.
