Steel Bar & Bar Stock Storage
High-Density Bar Storage That Handles the Weight
Steel bar, rod, and bundled stock are heavy, roll-prone, and easy to mix up when stored in a pile. Dexco® racks separate and support each size on open cantilever arms or contained stanchion lanes, so the right bar is always reachable and secure.
Eliminate Failure Points
Bar concentrates heavy weight in little space. Wide-flange I-beam construction carries dense bundled stock where lighter racks deflect.
Sort & Contain Every Size
Mixed bar in a pile is slow and unsafe to dig. Tiered arms, divided lanes, and stop bars keep each size sorted and contained.
Store Dense, Pick Fast
Bar sprawled on the floor wastes space and time. Vertical storage adds density while keeping every size accessible.

Cantilever Racking Systems
Provide direct access to flooring with an open-front design. Ideal for operations that prioritize fast loading and unloading.
Floor Racking Systems
A practical solution for heavy materials that don’t require elevated storage.
How the racking system is built
Standard construction
- Structural hot-rolled wide-flange I-beam steel (ASTM A572 Grade 50, 50 KSI)
- Even, distributed arm support for heavy finished-goods loads
- Bolted construction for strength and impact resistance
- Cantilever arms up to 20,000 lbs each; floor and shelf configurations up to 80,000 lbs
Customizable options
- Cantilever or stanchion configurations to match how you store and pick
- Arm and base stop bars to contain round bar and rod for Cantilever solutions
- Divided lanes for mixed diameters, grades, and materials
- Powder-coat finish for rust and wear protection; galvanized for corrosive settings
- PE-stamped engineering drawings available for an additional fee
Common Questions About Steel Bar Storage Racks
Should bar stock be stored on cantilever or stanchion racks?
Both work, and many operations use both. Cantilever suits long individual bar and rod picked from the front, while floor stanchion lanes hold heavy or bundled stock at ground level. We recommend the mix that fits your sizes, weights, and how you pick.
How do the racks keep round bar from rolling?
Arm-end stop bars keep bar from rolling off cantilever arms, and contained stanchion lanes with base stops hold round stock in place, so bar stays put during storage and picking.
Can one system store mixed diameters and grades?
Yes. Tiered arms and divided stanchion lanes let a single system hold mixed diameters, grades, and materials, keeping each sorted and separately accessible as your inventory changes.
