Cantilever racking is an open-front storage solution designed for long, bulky and irregularly shaped materials. With unobstructed access, adjustable arms and configurable levels, it helps warehouses organize timber, steel profiles, pipes, panels, furniture and other long loads while making better use of vertical space.
Why Choose Cantilever Racking
Open-front design for fast loading and unloading of long materials
Adjustable arm levels to accommodate changing load heights
Configurable single-sided or double-sided layouts
Clear visibility and direct access to each storage position
Modular structure that supports phased expansion
Suitable for forklift, crane or manual handling workflows

Design and Delivery Process
1. Share load dimensions, weights, quantities and handling method
2. Review warehouse or yard layout, aisle width and access constraints
3. Prepare a configuration and engineering proposal
4. Confirm load calculations, safety accessories and finish
5. Manufacture, deliver and install the system
6. Provide inspection, maintenance and expansion guidance
Safety and Service
Use only after the system has been engineered for the stated loads and layout
Display load notices and keep operating areas clear
Inspect frames, arms, bases and safety accessories at defined intervals
Train operators on loading, unloading and equipment interaction
Replace damaged components and do not exceed verified capacities

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can cantilever racks store?
They are commonly used for long, bulky or irregular materials such as timber, steel profiles, pipes, panels and furniture. Confirm the load shape and weight before selecting the system.
Can the arms be adjusted?
Many systems use adjustable arm positions. The available adjustment range and verified capacity must be confirmed for the selected design.
Can the system be installed outdoors?
Outdoor use may require roof, cladding, drainage, wind, corrosion and foundation provisions. These should be specified during engineering.
What information is needed for a quote?
Provide load dimensions, unit weight, quantities, storage height, handling equipment, available footprint, indoor or outdoor location and target expansion plan.
