Heavy Duty Cantilever Rack Systems Industrial Storage Solutions for Long

Product Description

Cantilever racking is the go-to storage solution for long goods that cannot fit on conventional pallet racks. Each system consists of upright columns, horizontal support arms and heavy-duty bases — with no front posts to block access, a forklift can drive straight in and handle the load with maximum speed and safety.

Key Features

Unobstructed Front Access — no front columns or beams means forklifts reach any load level directly from the aisle: faster picking, fewer maneuvers, no load damage from frame contact.

Heavy-Duty Load Capacity — arms rated from 1,000 to 12,000 lbs each, with column sections, bracing and base plates engineered for your specific load weight and height.

Maximum Vertical Utilization — system heights up to 30+ ft make full use of warehouse cube, particularly valuable in high-bay facilities and cold storage where floor space is expensive.

Single or Double Sided — double-sided racks store goods on both sides of a shared column row; single-sided racks are ideal for wall-line storage. Both fully customizable.

Durable Steel Construction — manufactured from structural steel (Q235 / Q355) with powder coating or hot-dip galvanizing for long service life in demanding environments.

Fast, Flexible Assembly — available in welded or bolted construction. Arms adjust in height easily, so rack levels can be re-configured as inventory changes.

Customization to Your Exact Requirements

Layout Engineering — our engineers design the rack system around your warehouse drawing: aisle widths, forklift type, load sizes and throughput are all factored into the layout.

Load-Specific Capacity — arm spacing, column sections and bracing are calculated per load, so every level is certified for the goods it carries — no guesswork, no under-specification.

Finish & Environment — choose powder coating in your brand colors, hot-dip galvanizing for humidity and cold rooms, or a combination, matched to your storage environment.

Installation & Anchoring — delivery, installation, floor anchoring and seismic reinforcement can all be arranged by our team, so your system is safe and compliant from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a cantilever rack?

A cantilever rack is an open-front industrial storage system made of upright columns and horizontal arms. Because there are no front posts or beams, forklifts can place and retrieve long, bulky loads — such as steel bars, lumber, pipe and furniture — directly from the aisle without obstruction.

What is the maximum load capacity of a cantilever rack?

Standard cantilever rack arms are rated from 1,00 to 1,000 lbs per arm, depending on arm length, column section and bracing. Custom engineering is available for heavier loads — our team calculates capacity based on your exact load weight, dimensions and storage height.

Should I choose a single-sided or double-sided cantilever rack?

Double-sided racks use a shared base and column row, storing goods on both sides — ideal for maximizing capacity in wide-open areas. Single-sided racks stand against a wall and are best for perimeter storage. Both are available in welded or bolted construction.

What materials can be stored on cantilever racks?

Cantilever racks are designed for long and bulky items: steel bars, tubes and pipes, aluminum profiles, lumber and plywood, building materials, coils, and furniture. They are widely used in steel service centers, lumber yards, distribution centers and cold storage facilities.

What surface finish is available — powder coated or galvanized?

Both. Powder coating offers a wide choice of RAL colors and a tough, abrasion-resistant finish for general warehouse use. Hot-dip galvanizing provides superior corrosion protection for humid, outdoor or cold storage environments. We can also combine both for the same project.

Do you offer custom sizes and installation services?

Yes. Every rack is engineered to your warehouse layout — arm length, arm spacing, height, column section and load rating are all customized. Installation, anchoring and seismic reinforcement can be arranged by our engineering team.
