CANTILEVER RACKING

Designed specifically for holding long, bulky, or awkwardly shaped items.

Cantilever racking is a type of storage system designed specifically for holding long, bulky, or awkwardly shaped items. It features horizontal arms that extend from a central upright column, with no front uprights to obstruct loading, making it ideal for storing materials such as timber, pipes, steel bars, or sheet products. The open-front design allows for easy access using forklifts or manual handling, and the system can be configured for single- or double-sided use depending on space and storage needs.

  • Ideal for storing long, bulky, or irregular-shaped items such as timber, pipes, and metal profiles

  • Open-front design allows easy loading and unloading without front uprights

  • Adjustable arms to accommodate different load heights and sizes

  • Available in single-sided or double-sided configurations

  • Can be used indoors or outdoors, with appropriate weather-resistant finishes

  • Modular and expandable, allowing future adjustments as storage needs change

  • Strong and durable construction, typically made from steel

  • Compatible with forklift or manual handling, depending on the setup

  • Improves organisation and accessibility for long or awkward goods

  • Optimises horizontal storage space where vertical pallet racking is unsuitable

  • Single-sided cantilever racking
    – Mounted against a wall
    – Accessible from one side only
    – Ideal for maximising perimeter wall space

  • Double-sided cantilever racking
    – Free-standing and accessible from both sides
    – Provides higher storage capacity in central warehouse areas

  • Light-duty cantilever racking
    – Designed for hand-loaded items
    – Suitable for smaller or lighter materials like plastic piping, aluminium lengths, or mouldings

  • Medium-duty cantilever racking
    – Offers a balance between strength and flexibility
    – Common in small warehouses or builders’ merchants

  • Heavy-duty cantilever racking
    – Built to support large, heavy, or industrial goods such as steel beams, timber packs, or sheet materials
    – Often used in manufacturing, steel stockholding, and timber yards

  • Mobile cantilever racking
    – Mounted on tracks to slide open and closed
    – Maximises storage density by removing the need for multiple fixed aisles

  • Outdoor cantilever racking
    – Galvanised or powder-coated for weather resistance
    – Used in builders’ yards, timber merchants, and outdoor storage areas

  • Timber storage – including planks, boards, and sheet wood (e.g. MDF, plywood)

  • Pipes and tubing – plastic, metal, or copper piping of various lengths

  • Steel sections and profiles – such as bars, beams, angles, and channels

  • Sheet materials – including metal sheets, plastic panels, plasterboard, and glass

  • Furniture components – like worktops, headboards, and long flat-pack items

  • Building materials – such as guttering, insulation rolls, and scaffolding poles

  • DIY and trade stores – for accessible display and storage of long products

It’s particularly useful in builders’ merchants, manufacturing facilities, timber yards, and industrial warehouses where space efficiency and easy access to long goods are essential.
