Reno Pallet Rack
Cantilever Rack in Reno, NV
Cantilever rack supports long products on arms without front upright columns between bays. Lumber, pipe and building materials need that open face, but the load length and support spacing determine the arrangement—not the available wall length.
Contractor yards around Lockwood Exit 22, fabrication buildings in Dayton and timber-related storage in Portola call for different arm layouts. Reno’s very dry summer heat and freezing winter nights make indoor or outdoor exposure part of the material specification and installation plan.
Arm capacity follows the supported bundle
Record bundle weight, length, width and handling method. The arm rating is not the same as the capacity of an entire storage level. Distribute each bundle across enough supports to carry the load without treating every arm as equally loaded by assumption.
Pipe and bar stock may need different arm spacing from packaged building products. Check product deflection between supports and choose single-sided or double-sided columns from the working layout. Each choice changes how forklifts approach the load.
Leave room for long-load turns
Lockwood and Mustang-area yards connect to I-80 at Exits 22 and 23. Keep staging for incoming building materials distinct from the aisle needed to retrieve long bundles. A load can clear an arm and still need substantially more room to turn.
Dayton’s Airpark Vista Boulevard and Evans Avenue buildings range from smaller shop space to larger distribution footprints. Measure doors, columns and the complete travel route. Portola’s Delleker Industrial Park and CA-70 industrial uses may need outdoor-rated material storage; confirm exposure before selecting components.
New storage for manufacturers and suppliers
Cantilever can work beside selective pallet rack when a fabricator carries both long stock and palletized parts. Draw the transfer between raw material storage and the work area so neither handling path cuts through the other.
Installation should follow an agreed unload, staging and row sequence. State the intended loads and arm elevations in the handover information, and keep the rated configuration visible to the people assigning storage locations.
