Cogan structural steel cantilever racking is exclusively designed and built to rival the strongest heavy-duty racking solutions on the market. Ideal for storing short, long or awkwardly-shaped items—from steel sheets and poles to dry wall and lumber—Cogan cantilever racking is easy to install and space efficient, optimizing the productivity and profitability of your work environment.

 

Ideal for both indoor and outdoor use, our cantilever racking is remarkably adaptable to take on the challenge of any storage situation. Install a cantilever roof system to shield your outdoor racking and protect your inventory from the elements. If floor space is limited, maximize your storage capacity with our very narrow aisle cantilever racking. The optimized design works with side loader fork trucks to keep your picking area running smoothly.

 

We know your demands are varied and you need a solid storage system you can rely on. We’ve used our advanced manufacturing techniques and know-how to make our cantilever racks respond to the most stringent standards in the industry.

Cantilever Racking Options

Cogan structural cantilever racking is what you need for handling medium- to extra heavy-duty loads. Ideal for storing short, long or awkwardly-shaped items, our cantilever racking features a special arm system designed for easy front loading without obstruction. Structural steel components guarantee superior strength. Punched holes run the full height of each column upright, providing excellent adaptability and versatility for all of your storage requirements. Built for the toughest industrial applications, all connections use high-strength structural grade bolts.

Structural Arms

Structural arms are composed of a beam welded to a plate connection and are manufactured angled at an incline of 1.5° or 3° from the horizontal. The number of arms required for a specified column is determined by the client. This will affect the overall design of the cantilever racking system. The arms are classified as either MD or HD which indicates the load bearing capabilities of the arms. MD implies light duty and HD means heavy duty. When configuring the number of arms required per column it is important to take into consideration two factors; the maximum capacity per column and the maximum capacity per arm. The total combined weight capacity of the arm should not exceed the maximum capacity of each column.

Columns

The rack columns are a major component of the cantilever system. They are categorized into two types: LD Columns and HD Columns depending on the width. Rack columns are the vertical structural elements that support the rack arms and roof arms and transfer gravity loads to the rack base and anchoring slab. It is very important to note that the column type is determined by a Cogan engineer based on the quantity of arms and the maximum load capacity per arm. It is essential to refer to the assigned Cogan quote or Cogan Approval Drawings for detailed column and storing material.

Shelf Overlays - Beam Support

Cantilever racking can also be used for shelving applications. With the installation of beam supports, the racking can be modified and made into a shelving system. Beam supports provide additional reinforcement for heavy or unevenly distributed loads. Wire mesh shelf overlays are fastened on top of the beam supports to create a smooth surface for the storage of smaller items.

Arm Accessories

Two arm accessories are available to support material. The first is a welded “V” bracket, which is welded along the entire length of the rack arm along the top flange. The “V” brackets are primarily designed for coils. The second arm accessory is the “U” bracket, which is a bracket welded to the top flange of the rack arm. A rod is extended along the two cantilever arms and slotted into the brackets, which acts as a support to carry rolled material. The arms are powder coated Cogan grey.

Make the most out of your storage or picking area with Cogan Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Cantilever Racking. Designed for use with side loader fork trucks, our VNA cantilever racking maximizes storage capacity for a highly efficient use of floor space. The narrow design means our VNA cantilever racking uses as little as half the standard aisle width of standard racking solutions. Your storage capacity doubles and wasted space is eliminated. This is ideal for high-density storage areas or where there is a need for expansion within an existing facility.

Create a four-season covered storage unit with Cogan L-shed or T-shed cantilever racking. Ideal for protecting stored materials from harsh weather conditions, the angled roof design allows rain to flow down easily and shields against snow, ice and sun damage. Powder-coated structural steel components and heavy-duty treated wood joists provide superior strength and durability. Lost or damaged material due to severe weather is significantly reduced, saving you costly replacement expenses.

L-Shed

The roof deck is made of galvanized steel which is screwed onto each wood beam with waterproof #8” x 1 ¾” hex head tek screw with a rubber seal. Each roof panel must overlap the previous one and must be screwed in accordingly. The L-Shed roof may be placed flush against a wall or can have the roof steel deck extend 6” but only if back panels are installed. The back panels are supported by 2“x 4” wood beams. The shed must extrude 6” from the edge of the rack arms for the L-shed.

Services We Provide

Safety Source is here to help your business expand and optimize its floorspace; here are some of the services we provide:

Oversized Storage

Non-Standard Storage

Very Narrow Aisle Cantilever Racking

T & L Shed Cantilever Racking

Lumberyard Cantilever Racking

Mobile Cantilever Racking System

Mobile Cantilever Racking System

When warehouse space is limited, increase the capacity of available storage with mobile cantilever racking. Fitted on wheeled basses integrated with motorized controls, mobile cantilever racking runs along rails set into the floor. Fixed aisles are eliminated and replaced with a single 'floating aisle' to access stored materials. This drastically compacts surface area, allowing you to double your storage space without adding a single square foot to your facility.

 

Save on costly expansion expenses. Contribute to a more sustainable work environment that optimizes space, reduces energy consumption and most importantly, keeps your inventory secure.

Success Stories

The team at The Safety Source sat down and looked at our current space and provided an out of the box solution - a two story mezzanine with a inplant office installed on the 2nd floor. This solution was not only cost effective it was designed and installed on time and on budget. Thanks for being a vendor we can rely on.
