Are cantilevered shelves suitable for storing rolls of materials?

There are many types of roll materials, such as steel rolls, paper rolls, fabric rolls, plastic film rolls, etc. Due to their large weight, special shapes and the need to avoid compression, they have always been a storage challenge. Generally, custom-made roll material-specific shelves are required to meet storage needs. So, is the cantilever rack suitable for storing roll materials? Let's find out.

suitable. The cantilevered shelving system, with its unique design, is widely regarded as an ideal solution for storing such materials. The cantilevered shelving is composed of columns and front-facing unobstructed cantilevers. This design perfectly meets the storage requirements for rolls. The front and top of the cantilevers are completely open, allowing rolls to be loaded and unloaded directly by forklifts from the side, making the operation extremely convenient and efficient, especially suitable for the "last-in, first-out" storage strategy.

Rolls are most afraid of bottom compression or direct contact with hard shelves, which may cause the rolls to deform or have surface damage. The cantilevered shelving allows rolls to be placed individually and smoothly on each cantilever, avoiding the mutual compression that may occur on layer-based shelves, and maximizing the protection of the integrity and quality of the materials. The single-arm load capacity is usually 500kg to 5000kg, or even higher, which can fully meet the huge weight requirements of most metal rolls and paper rolls, and is safe and reliable.
