Cantilever Racking in Eau Claire, Wisconsin
October 6, 2026
NAWL USA's Midwest Division installs cantilever racking in Eau Claire and the Chippewa Valley, about 90 miles from Minneapolis — our service radius extends into western Wisconsin, not just Minnesota. The area's paper and timber industry commonly uses cantilever for raw lumber, pulpwood, and finished wood product storage.
If you're in Eau Claire and assumed a Minneapolis-based supplier stops at the state line, it doesn't — this is one of our core secondary markets.

What cantilever racking works best for paper and timber industry storage?
The Chippewa Valley's paper and timber base has genuinely different storage needs depending on where material sits in the production process:
| Product Type | Recommended Arm Length/Capacity | Indoor/Outdoor |
|---|---|---|
| Raw lumber/dimensional stock | 8–10 ft, 3,000–5,000 lbs/arm | Outdoor or covered |
| Pulpwood/raw logs | 10+ ft, 4,000–6,000 lbs/arm | Outdoor |
| Finished panel product | 6–8 ft, 2,000–3,500 lbs/arm | Indoor (moisture-sensitive) |

Is cantilever racking suitable for storing raw lumber and wood products?
Yes — raw lumber, pulpwood, and dimensional stock are some of the most natural applications for cantilever racking, since the long, uniform shape of the material lines up well with arm-based storage. Finished paper rolls and panel products are a different story and generally need more specialized, moisture-controlled indoor handling — our dedicated paper and timber warehouse racking page goes deeper into storing raw material versus finished product as genuinely separate problems.
Frequently asked questions
Does outdoor raw material storage need special weather protection? Yes — exposed raw lumber and pulpwood benefit from covered yard structures where practical, both for material quality and to simplify long-term rack maintenance.
