Industrial Cantilever Racking for Long Load Storage

Industrial Cantilever Racking for Long Load Storage

Industrial cantilever racking provides a clear, open storage face for materials that are difficult to handle with conventional pallet shelving. The system is built around upright frames, horizontal arms and a stable base, allowing long goods to be stored without front columns blocking access. It is suitable for warehouses, manufacturing plants, building-material yards and distribution operations.

Designed for Difficult-to-Store Materials:

Timber, lumber and mouldings

Steel sections, tubes, bars and profiles

Pipes, conduit and cable trays

Stone, panels, doors and furniture components

Aluminium extrusions and other long manufactured parts

How the System Works

Each bay can be configured around the length, weight and handling method of the stored material. Arm levels can be positioned to match the load profile, while single-sided and double-sided arrangements allow the system to fit against walls or within central warehouse aisles.

Upright frame: transfers vertical and horizontal forces to the base and floor

Cantilever arm: creates the open storage level for long goods

Base and stabilizer: supports the frame and contributes to overall stability

Optional accessories: arm stops, cradles, decking, guides, guards, roofs and cladding

Layout Options:

Layout	Recommended use	Planning considerations
Single-sided	Wall-side and perimeter storage	Check wall clearance and loading access
Double-sided	Central warehouse or yard rows	Plan aisle width and equipment turning space
Indoor heavy-duty	Manufacturing and warehouse stock	Verify loads, frame spacing and floor condition
Outdoor protected	Yards and weather-sensitive materials	Review roof, wind, drainage and corrosion requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the main advantage of cantilever racking?

Its open-front design provides direct access to long and bulky goods that may not fit efficiently in conventional pallet racks.

Can a cantilever system be customized?

The layout can often be configured around material length, load weight, storage height, handling equipment and available floor space. Final design must be engineered for the project.

Is it suitable for outdoor storage?

It can be designed for outdoor use, but weather, wind, drainage, corrosion protection, roof systems and foundations must be reviewed.

How should the correct capacity be selected?

Use the actual material weight, dimensions, bay loading pattern and equipment interaction. Do not select capacity from a generic example alone.
