Easy Rack supplies medium duty and heavy-duty cantilever racks to construction and storage facilities nationwide. We carry used models for contractors on a budget and new cantilever racks for purchasing managers who insist on having the very best up front.

Cantilever racks offer more use of the vertical cube and help reduce the costs of expansion and moving. Their specific value lies in their ability to store items that cannot be stacked or easily organized in crates or shelving. Many furniture warehouses them to accommodate bulky and cumbersome pieces. Industrial facilities use them to store everything from pipe to tubing. Appliance manufacturers use them as well to store refrigerator and freezer units. Cantilever racks can sit back against the wall with arms extended, giving easy access to manual loading or forklift maneuvering and do not a separate aisle or special access point to reach. Easy Rack’s sells a wide range of builds and dimensions engineered for different storage needs and load capacities. We carry medium-duty and heavy-duty models in over 30 specific dimensions.

Medium and heavy-duty cantilever racks feature single-sided uprights.

Medium-duty units can be hand or forklift loaded, and heavy-duty cantilevers are ideal for heavy materials that require the use of forklifts. Our unique manufacturing process combines welded steel components with unique bolt construction, allowing these units to bear loads of up to 9000 pounds and customize to varying lengths by moving the arms to different levels and securing them in place with a key lock. All arms feature lips that prevent stored materials from falling on the floor or worker’s feet.

Single-sided uprights customize easily to a number of individual shelving applications. Double-sided uprights allow for faster manual loading and forklift access. Many facilities use them for temporary storage, placing longer items such as pipe, tubing, bar stock and lumber securely on the uprights and out of the way for workers moving back and forth within the facility. One cantilever rack can store many different types of items because of the adjustable nature of the arms. Easy Rack’s cantilevers measure up to 10 feet in height and can bear load capacities of up to 9000 pounds.

Loading Equipment That Makes Dealing With Materials So Much Easier!

The loading and unloading trucks and trailers has come a long way since the days when it was all done by hand. We now have specialized loading equipment to make the process easier and faster, which means more cost effective. 

Yellow Pallet Jack Pallet Jacks: Vital Pieces of Loading Equipment

Since most freight is shipped on pallets, a pallet jack is a vital piece of loading dock equipment for any warehouse. With one of these, you can zip the palletized freight in and out of the trailer and position it for reshipment later that day very easily. There are manual and powered pallet jacks. With the manual type, the operator pumps the handle and pushes or pulls to move the pallet around. With the powered kind, buttons are pushed and motors do all the work. 

Forklifts Are More Versatile Than Pallet Jacks

A forklift is basically a more powerful pallet jack. Some are battery-operated, while other use engines that run on propane. There are also forklifts that won’t lift much over five or six feet and others that will lift a pallet as high as sixteen feet off the floor. There are also sit down forklifts and stand up forklifts. These last won’t normally fit into a truck’s trailer. 


Can Loading Dock Boards Safe Me Time & Money?Bridge Almost Any Loading Dock Gap with a Dock Ramp

A loading dock ramp is an indispensable piece of loading equipment in any warehouse. There will be times when the gap or height difference between a trailer and the dock edge will be too great for pallet jacks and forklifts to run over. With a dock ramp (sometimes referred to as truck dock boards) put into place, that gap is bridged and loading and unloading can commence at full speed.


Industrial Turn TablesShrink-Wrap a Pallet in Minutes with a Pallet Turntable

If you make shipments of palletized products that are shipped in boxes (especially irregularly sized ones), a pallet turntable will allow you to shrink wrap any pallet in a matter of minutes with almost nothing more than the push of a button. No more walking around the pallet for five minutes with the dispenser in your hands. Place the pallet on the turntable, slip the end of the wrap between two boxed and push the button.

Walk Thru Loading Dock Ladders Are Constructed For Maximum Safety

Most medium to large businesses use 18 wheelers, pick-up trucks, vans, SUV’s and even cars to pick up and unload merchandise and supplies.

By directly attaching the dock ladder to the dock itself by either welding or bolting to the dock using anchors or lag bolts you are providing a most valuable material handling tool.

Commercial Ladders Can Make Your Project Easier.

Commercial Rolling LaddersDid you not sign up for the newsletter? It plainly says, working on a ladder of any type can be hazardous to your health! Ladders and step ladders on average account for 14 deaths and over 1000 serious injuries to workers each year. Many of these injuries are caused by improper or faulty use of ladders and associated material handling equipment. The best ladder safety, plan and simple, is common sense.

First, know when to use a ladder, then decide how to go about selecting the right sort of ladder for the particular job. Experts are convinced that mishandling of ladders at work can be partly explained by the way they are used in the home. As with all work equipment, users need sufficient information and training to be able to use ladders and stepladders safely. It it looks dangerous, it probably is.

When considering whether it could be appropriate to use a ladder or step-ladder, you need to consider the following factors:

Only use a ladder or stepladder in any one position for a maximum of 30 minutes to prevent fatigue or dizziness.

Never use commercial wheel risers to elevate your vehicle or work on a ladder that is not on solid ground. This mean do not put ladders on vehicles to extend your reach. That is the easiest way to get yourself hurt.

Know the weight limitations of your ladder and under no circumstances should you overload a step ladder or ladder from your body weight plus anything they are taking up the ladder.

Never lean over and overreach from the ladder. It is best to keep your belt buckle inside the stiles and both feet on the same rung throughout work being done. Practice safety!

When working on commercial ladders or household stepladders, you should avoid work that imposes a side loading, such as side-on drilling through solid materials (e.g. bricks or concrete), by having the steps facing the work activity. Where side-on loadings cannot be avoided you should prevent the steps from tipping over, for example by tying the steps to a suitable point.

Only use a commercial grade ladder or telescoping extension ladder on firm ground or spread the load on level ground by using a plywood sheet.

Never work on a ladder that is close to overhead power lines, unless the power company or electrician has made them dead or protected with temporary insulation.

When working by a roadway or near vehicular traffic, always use safety cones or barricades to prevent injury. Practice safety!

Never stand on the top rung of a step ladder that does not have handrails or some other means of preventing falls.

It is advisable to not climb or use ladders in strong or gusting winds.
