Arms extend out from a column with no obstruction across the front, so lumber, pipe, tube, bar stock, sheet goods, and furniture load from the side and come off the same way, without lifting over anything. For Nashville warehouses along the I-24, I-40, and I-65 corridors, the right layout should connect incoming stock, reserve storage, and the way orders leave the building. Choose it whenever product length, not weight or SKU count, is what's driving the storage problem - the alternative is usually leaning bundles against a wall or floor-stacking them where forklifts have to work around them. Arm length, capacity, and column spacing get set by the bundles you actually handle, not a generic length. We quote single-sided runs for a wall and double-sided runs for open floor, both with the layout attached so arm count and levels are settled before steel is ordered. (615) 703-6869 ## Why Nashville Warehouses Work With Us Long pipe and fabrication stock near the Murfreesboro Pike industrial corridor interrupt forklift approaches when stored on the floor. Around I-24 and I-40, that situation calls for a layout comparison tied to your own stock and building. Long loads need support at the right intervals, with an open front for handling. Bundle length, stiffness, weight, and the equipment placing it decide the arms and column spacing, not a standard pallet footprint. We start with your drawings, inventory records, and photographs, so the conversation stays focused on the building and loads you actually have. Compare wall-side and double-sided runs with the actual load lengths and handling route. Leave enough approach room for a long bundle to turn. The comparison should show what you gain, what access you give up, and where staging remains available. Keep round or loose stock contained with suitable arm details, and confirm capacity per arm as well as the column and base. A longer bundle can change both support spacing and the handling approach even when its total weight is unchanged. You work through the design and itemized scope with one contact at Nashville Pallet Racks, a division of Warehouse Equipment & Supplies Co. We explain component choices, confirm the proposed load ratings, and agree delivery and installation responsibilities before you order. If the product is not a fit, the alternative belongs in the discussion, not after the rack arrives. Call (615) 703-6869 to review the plan and any phasing needs. ## How Cantilever Rack Works 1 ### Columns and anchored bases Upright columns sit on bases anchored to the floor. 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.

We collect bundle dimensions, weight per bundle, and how material is handled - forklift forks, a side loader, or by hand off a cart - because that determines arm length, arm capacity, and how much clearance each level needs. From there we set column height and spacing, choose straight or inclined arms, and decide whether lips are needed to keep round stock from rolling. Single-sided runs get positioned along a wall; double-sided runs get aisle dimensions matched to whatever's moving material in and out. The quote itemizes columns, bases, arms, bracing, and anchors, with a CAD drawing showing the run, arm levels, and rated capacities per arm. Installation partners anchor bases, plumb columns, brace the run, and set arm elevations to the drawing. The result is arms you can reposition as inventory changes, capacity ratings for every level, and the floor space that long material used to occupy. For a Nashville project, the drawing also needs to show where incoming loads wait, how your team replenishes active stock, and which areas must remain accessible during installation. We agree the material staging and work zones with you before deliveries are scheduled. Compare the quoted capacity with your peak inventory, not just an average week; a layout that leaves no room for a seasonal receipt may put pallets back on the floor. You receive a component list and configuration-specific load ratings, with any reuse or replacement assumptions identified. Changes to loads, beam elevations, or handling equipment should be reviewed before the system is reconfigured. 1 Phone consultation 2 CAD layout 3 Itemized quote 4 Delivery & installation ## Recent Pallet Rack Projects A look at warehouse racking systems our team has installed.
