Cantilever Racking System

The Cantilever Racking System is a highly efficient storage solution designed specifically for long, oversized, or awkwardly shaped materials that cannot be accommodated by standard pallet racking. Items such as metal pipes, timber, tubing, drywall, and sheet materials can be stored horizontally across strong, adjustable arms that extend from upright steel columns.

Cantilever racks consist of vertical posts (columns), horizontal base supports, and cantilevered arms—available as single-sided or double-sided configurations. The absence of vertical front posts allows full, unobstructed access to products, making them ideal for facilities that require fast, safe, and easy storage and retrieval using forklifts or side-loaders.

Types of Cantilever Racks:

1. Light-Duty Cantilever Racks: Suitable for plastic piping, lightweight wood, or aluminum bars.
2. Medium to Heavy-Duty Racks: Designed for steel tubes, timber, or structural components.
3. Single-Sided Racks: Installed against walls to maximize vertical space.
4. Double-Sided Racks: Provide access from both sides for central placement in warehouses.
5. Outdoor Galvanized Racks: Weather-resistant systems for external storage of building materials.

Key Features:

1. Open-front design ensures easy loading/unloading of long or bulky items.
2. Adjustable arms provide flexibility to store materials of various sizes.
3. No vertical front obstructions, allowing full-length storage without interruption.
4. Modular design allows customization according to storage height, arm length, and load capacity.
5. Made from heavy-duty steel to support high weights and withstand industrial use.
6. Available in powder-coated or galvanized finishes for indoor and outdoor use.
7. Optional arm stops, roof coverings, or mesh decking can be added for enhanced safety and organization.

Applications:

1. Timber yards and lumber distribution centers.
2. Plumbing and piping supply depots.
3. Steel and metal fabrication plants.
4. Furniture manufacturers and home improvement warehouses.
5. Construction material storage (drywall, rebar, moldings, beams).

Benefits:

1. Optimizes warehouse space for long or non-standard items.
2. Increases accessibility, reducing loading/unloading time.
3. Prevents material damage by providing organized, supported storage.
4. Enhances inventory visibility and simplifies stock control.
5. Improves safety by keeping heavy and lengthy materials off the ground.
6. Can be customized for manual or forklift operation depending on warehouse layout.

Conclusion:

The Cantilever Racking System is the go-to solution for any facility handling elongated, oversized, or awkwardly shaped goods. Its flexible, accessible, and heavy-duty design makes it a preferred choice for industrial warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers seeking efficient and safe vertical storage for non-palletized items.
