“It was a great decision to hire Warehouse Equipment for the new racking project in CVG, Ohio. Chad and his team provided an excellent service, and they even improve the delivery and installation dates, allowing the client to load the space earlier than expected. I will recommend using them for warehouse and racking projects.”

“Best price of all the quotes that we received. They were on time, worked very quickly, swept the floors under the racks that they took down, and helped to store excess materials. Did a great job.”

Cantilever Rack Project Considerations for Chicago, IL
Location-specific factors for your Illinois cantilever rack installation
When planning cantilever rack installations in Chicago, IL, load capacity engineering is critical. Our Chicago team calculates arm capacities based on your longest, heaviest materials — whether lumber, pipe, or steel. Illinois's wide temperature swings from -20°F to 100°F influences finish selection for outdoor-rated cantilever installations. All systems comply with Illinois Building Code and RMI standards. We address Chicago-specific amendments in Cook County and verify floor slab capacity for the concentrated point loads that cantilever bases create.
