Is the load-bearing capacity of the storage cantilever shelves sufficient for storing steel coils?

The cantilevered shelves are typically used for storing slender materials such as pipes and aluminum profiles, for example, materials that are 2-10 meters long. Storing these materials with cantilevered shelves is very convenient. However, it is also feasible to use them for storing various rolls of materials, such as steel coils. Are the storage capacities of the warehouse cantilever shelves sufficient for storing steel coils?

The rated load capacity of a single arm of a cantilevered shelf usually ranges from 500kg to 1000kg. For steel coils weighing up to 1 ton, standard heavy-duty cantilever shelves can handle the load. When the single weight of the steel coil exceeds 1 ton, the load capacity limit needs to be increased through structural reinforcement. Not only steel coils, but also large rolls of cables can also be stored using heavy-duty cantilever shelves.

It should be noted that the cantilever must have a sloping or arc-shaped support surface to ensure that the center hole of the steel coil fits and is securely attached, avoiding rolling and edge damage. Additionally, in heavy-load scenarios, the base of the warehouse cantilever shelves must be welded to the ground embedded parts to prevent displacement caused by forklift operations. Thus, cantilever shelves suitable for storing small-sized steel coils are feasible. Whether larger heavy-duty steel coils are compatible can be evaluated by professional warehouse cantilever shelf manufacturers.
