# Cantilever and Pallet Rack in Carlinville, IL

Carlinville is the Macoupin County seat, about 40 miles south of Springfield on Route 4 and Route 108, roughly 12 miles from I-55. Local industry includes dairy processing, steel products and steel tubing and pipe distribution, with large indoor storage across Carlinville and nearby Gillespie.

That makes Carlinville one of our main cantilever rack (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/products/cantilever-rack) markets, with selective pallet rack (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/products/pallet-rack) for dairy and general warehousing.

## Cantilever for Tubing and Pipe

Tubing and pipe come in long bundles that sag on pallet beams and block aisles on the floor. Cantilever arms hold each bundle from the side, with no front posts in the way. Arm spacing follows bundle length so the stock does not bow between supports.

Distributors carry many sizes and lengths. We group lengths by row so a side-loader or forklift picks without shuffling bundles.

- Arm spacing set to prevent bundle sag
- Rows grouped by length
- Double-sided rows in open bays

## Steel Products Beyond Tubing

Steel products businesses store sheet, plate, angle and channel alongside tubing. Long shapes go on cantilever. Sheet and plate often sit better on heavy-duty pallet rack with solid decking, sized to the weight per level.

We look at each product line and match it to the right storage, rather than forcing everything onto one rack type.

## Indoor Storage Across Macoupin County

Large indoor storage buildings in Carlinville and Gillespie keep steel out of the weather. That matters in winter, when snow and ice make outdoor handling slow and dangerous. Indoor cantilever rows can run long and tall, using the full clear height.

## Dairy and General Warehousing

Dairy processing needs cooler storage with steady rotation. Pallet flow rack (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/products/pallet-flow-rack) moves the oldest pallet to the pick face automatically. General warehousing does fine with selective rack.

## Side-Loaders and Aisle Width

Long material handling often uses side-loaders or four-way forklifts. Those trucks carry long loads lengthwise down narrow aisles. A standard counterbalanced forklift needs a much wider aisle to turn with a 20 ft bundle.

We size cantilever aisles to the trucks you run. If you are considering a side-loader, we can show how much aisle space it would save.

## Working With 24 ft Clear Buildings

Existing industrial stock includes office and warehouse buildings with 24 ft clear spans and dock plus drive-in doors. At 24 ft, four pallet levels are common, and cantilever can run almost to the deck for long stock.

Drive-in doors let long loads come straight in on a truck, so we keep the path from that door to the cantilever rows open. Moving to a larger building? Our warehouse relocation (https://springfieldpalletrack.com/warehouse-relocation) team can move cantilever and pallet rack together.
