Cantilever Racking

Cantilever racking is a purpose-built storage system for products that are too long or awkward for conventional pallet racks. It uses horizontal arms—attached to sturdy upright columns—to create unobstructed, open-front access for effortless storage and retrieval of non-standard items.

Where Cantilever Racking Works Best

Warehouse mezzanine installation example

Cantilever racking excels in these common use cases:

  • Timber and lumber yards: Wooden boards, planks, and wood panels.

  • Steel and metal depots: Pipes, tubes, rods, angle bars, and profiles.

  • Furniture warehouses: Large sofas, rolled mattresses, garden furniture, and tables.

  • Hardware and construction material suppliers: PVC pipes, conduits, drywall, and rebar.

  • Retail display environments: For maximum product visibility and open access to non-standard shapes.

Key Benefits

  • Specialized for long/irregular loads: Effortlessly handle pipes, timber, beams, and oversized profiles.

  • Unrestricted access: No front-facing vertical columns—forklifts and personnel have full access across the rack’s width.

  • Expandable and modular: Add arms, change lengths, or extend sections as storage needs evolve.

  • Heavy-duty construction: Built for industrial operations, supporting substantial weight on each arm.

  • Indoor/outdoor versatility: Galvanized options allow safe use in exposed or weather-prone spaces

  • Customizable: Arm spacing, pitch, and length are adaptable to product dimensions and weight.
