Cantilever Rack Project for Steel Pipe Storage in Mexico
A metal distribution company in Mexico needed a better storage solution for steel pipes, long profiles, and structural materials. Their previous warehouse setup relied on floor stacking, which wasted space, made material access difficult, and created handling inefficiencies during daily operations.
To solve this problem, we supplied a custom cantilever rack system designed specifically for long material storage. The solution improved access, reduced clutter, and helped the customer store steel products more safely and efficiently.

Storage Challenges in Long Material Warehouses
Warehouses that store long materials such as steel pipes and profiles often struggle with space efficiency and material access. Before this project, the customer faced the same common issues.
Floor stacking made the warehouse look crowded and reduced usable space. It also required unnecessary material movement whenever workers needed to access items stored underneath other bundles. In addition, long steel materials were difficult to organize safely using standard shelving systems.
The customer’s main objective was to achieve a safer, cleaner, and more efficient long material storage system.
Custom Cantilever Rack Solution
To meet the customer’s requirements, we developed a custom cantilever rack system for steel pipe storage.
Cantilever racks are ideal for long and bulky materials because they provide open-front access without vertical front columns. This makes it much easier for forklifts to load and unload steel pipes, profiles, and other long products.
Each arm was designed to support up to 1,200 kg, giving the customer a stable and durable storage solution for heavy metal materials. The rack structure also helped improve warehouse layout and made long product handling more efficient.
Why the Customer Chose Our Long Material Storage Solution
Project Results
After installing the custom cantilever rack system, the customer gained a much more efficient storage layout for steel pipes and structural materials.
The warehouse became easier to manage, material retrieval became faster, and the overall storage area became cleaner and more organized. The new solution also helped reduce handling risks and improved operational safety in daily warehouse work.
The customer now has a long-term storage system that supports efficient inventory turnover and future expansion.

Push Back Racks: High-Density Pallet Storage Solutions for Cold Chain Warehousing
When managing a temperature-controlled facility, maximizing volumetric density without sacrificing SKU selectivity is a monumental challenge for logistics managers. Standard selective layouts often leave up to 50% of your expensive ambient or frozen air completely empty due to excessive forklift aisles.
Our industrial-grade push back racks offer the ultimate breakthrough in space optimization. Specifically engineered to perform under the harshest sub-zero temperatures, these dynamic push back pallet racking systems combine the extreme density of drive-in configurations with the rapid operational throughput of selective systems. By utilizing a high-performance nested cart design moving along precision-engineered inclined rails, this advanced gravity flow rack mechanism allows your facility to store pallets 2 to 6 positions deep. It effectively eliminates the need for multiple service aisles, ensuring your material handling equipment operates at peak efficiency from a single access aisle.

Shuttle Racking System
As a premier global supplier of industrial warehouse storage equipment, our custom shuttle racking system is engineered to transform standard storage facilities into high-performance distribution hubs. Whether your logistics model operates on a First-In, First-Out (FIFO) or a Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) inventory management logic, our customized configurations seamlessly integrate with your existing material handling equipment. Investing in a tailored pallet shuttle racking system allows your business to achieve optimal bulk storage density while drastically minimizing pallet cycle times, product damage, and labor costs associated with traditional drive-in configurations.

Mezzanine Racking System
Stop paying for costly building expansions. Our custom Mezzanine Racking System uses heavy-duty storage racks as the foundational support structure to construct robust, multi-tier elevated work platforms. This industrial rack-supported mezzanine solution doubles or triples your accessible square footage vertically, keeping lower tiers fully functional for dense pallet storage while converting upper levels into prime order-picking or bulk inventory zones.
