What is Cantilever Racking?
Cantilever racking systems are specifically designed to store items that are long, bulky, or irregularly shaped. Built to handle everything from medium to extra heavy-duty loads, these systems offer flexible storage solutions tailored to your weight capacity requirements.
Unlike traditional shelving or pallet racks, cantilever systems don’t rely on vertical beams at the front. Instead, they use a central spine with horizontal arms extending outward, allowing items to be stored across the full length without obstruction. Products are loaded onto the arms, which can be positioned at various heights to match your stock. These racks are perfect for warehouses, timber yards, pipe suppliers, metal fabricators, and furniture distributors—anywhere bulky product needs to be safely stored and easily retrieved.
Benefits at a Glance
- Vertical uprights are separate from the supporting arms creating a fully open linear storage option
- Ideal for storing long or irregular items such as PVC pipes, wooden planks, steel rods etc.
- Maximises available space in any warehouse configuration while retaining optimum accessibility
- Suitable for indoor or outdoor use with the option of powder coated or galvainsed finishes
- Modular design allows for easy reconfiguration or additions
