Is the design of the heavy-duty single-sided cantilevered rack stable?

The cantilever rack is a necessary type of storage shelving for the logistics storage of pipes, profiles, plates, coils, etc. In many cases, the cantilever-type shelving is designed with both sides, but when placed against the wall, a single-arm design is also adopted. This may cause some customers to worry about the stability of storing goods on a single side. So, is the heavy single-arm cantilever rack stable? Let's find out.

Yes, it is. The heavy single-arm cantilever rack is installed using expansion bolts and other methods to be fixed on the ground. And the cantilever beam is not simply fixed on the column, but is connected to the column and the rear diagonal support or back pull rod through high-strength connecting components to form a stable triangular support frame. This triangle can effectively convert the huge bending moment generated by the goods at the front end of the cantilever into the pressure on the column and the tension of the pull rod, thereby resisting the overturning moment caused by the goods.

It can be seen that the stability of the heavy single-arm cantilever rack has been verified through rigorous engineering calculations and actual tests. It is not something that comes out of thin air. Professional storage shelving manufacturers will have warranties. If you are really worried, you can consider customizing a heavy double cantilever-type shelving. After all, placing it on both sides gives a more stable feeling.
