Solving Long-Item Storage Challenges: StorLogi Cantilever Racking Boosts Warehouse Efficiency

Storing long items such as pipes, profiles, and boards presents persistent challenges for many businesses: random stacking leads to space utilization below 30%; narrow forklift aisles cause frequent collisions during handling; and in the rainy season steel corrodes with losses as high as 15%. These pain points not only increase operating costs but also limit improvements in warehousing efficiency. StorLogi’s cantilever racking—designed specifically for long items—has become a preferred solution. Its core advantages and practical value are worth a closer look.

I. Product core advantages: flexibility + safety and reliability

1. Flexible, robust structure that fits varied needs  

Made from high-strength steel formed as an integrated unit, cantilever arm lengths can be flexibly adjusted to match item sizes—from 3-meter pipes to 10-meter profiles. The overall frame is optimized by mechanical design; a single arm’s load capacity ranges from 500 to 2,000 kg, so even heavy industrial pipes are supported securely. Notably, the racks use a modular design for easy assembly and disassembly, allowing configurations to be reworked as warehouse layouts change and enabling quick adaptation to different storage batches.

2. Comprehensive safety upgrades to reduce loss risk  

Equipped with thickened anti-fall panels and reinforced crossbeams, the panels are made of wear-resistant steel with rounded edges to prevent cargo surface scratches while effectively stopping items from sliding off. High-density rubber bumpers are fitted at the cantilever ends to absorb impact during forklift loading and unloading—tests show this can reduce collision damage by more than 30%. In addition, anti-slip base pads increase friction with the floor so the rack remains stable even in damp environments.

II. Diverse applicable scenarios: covering multi-industry warehouse needs

• Construction materials: For long materials such as steel pipes, aluminum profiles, and curtain-wall glass, the racks enable layered, categorized storage with adjustable shelf spacing so different sizes can be managed separately. When used with label holders, locations can be found quickly and stocktaking efficiency can improve by more than 50%.

• Machinery manufacturing: Suited for large shafts, machine guide rails, and other heavy parts, the racks leave ample forklift operating aisles. Combined with the cantilever extension design, forklifts can load and unload from the side directly without frequent repositioning—single load/unload times can be reduced to one-third of the original.

• Metalworking: For irregular profiles such as angle steel and channel steel, the cantilever layout prevents mutual squeezing and deformation. Each tier provides even load distribution and spacing can be tailored to profile thickness, increasing warehouse utilization by 40%.

• Logistics & transport: Compatible with pallets—long items stored on lower levels while smaller palletized goods are stacked above—this “long + short” mixed storage reduces wasted space from separate zoning and streamlines loading/unloading processes, improving turnover efficiency by 25%.

III. Quality assurance system: professional strength builds trust

StorLogi has been focused on warehousing equipment for 10 years and uses automated production lines and strict quality inspection processes to ensure every cantilever rack meets market standards:

• Selected raw material: Q235 low-carbon steel with high strength and good toughness; surfaces undergo rust removal, phosphating, and electrostatic powder coating in three stages. Coating thickness reaches 80–120 μm, providing corrosion resistance for over 10 years—even in humid southern warehouses the racks retain stable performance.

• ISO 9001 certification: The full product line meets ISO 9001 quality standards. From raw material intake to finished goods leaving the factory, every step has dedicated inspectors. Critical parts such as the connections between arms and columns must pass tensile tests before shipment.

• Custom design services: A professional design team can create tailored solutions based on site dimensions and cargo characteristics. StorLogi offers a free on-site survey where engineers bring laser rangefinders and other specialized tools to accurately measure warehouse height, aisle width, and other parameters to ensure the solution fits real conditions.

• Comprehensive after-sales: In addition to a 3-year warranty and lifetime maintenance, StorLogi conducts regular follow-ups and provides rack maintenance advice—such as periodically checking bolt tightness and cleaning surface dust—to extend service life.

Many companies have already solved their long-item storage problems with StorLogi cantilever racking: a construction materials firm raised warehouse space utilization from 28% to 65%; a machinery factory optimized handling processes and increased monthly handling capacity by 300 tonnes.
