Cantilever Racking Systems
(Cantilever Racking Systems)
A system for long, bulky and irregular loads: columns with cantilever arms have no front uprights, so long items can be placed and picked without obstruction at the rack face. Column and arm spacing is set to suit the length, stiffness and weight of the load.
- For long and bulky loads
- Single- or double-sided
- Support spacing matched to the load
Technical specifications
Load capacity and dimensions are determined by the project for your building and stated in the quotation.

How it works
- LayoutCantilever runs are placed against a wall (single-sided) or in the middle of the space (double-sided).
- Put-awayA forklift, side loader or crane places the load across the arms.

Frequently asked questions
When should I choose cantilever instead of pallet racking?
When storing long or irregular loads – pipes, profiles, panels, timber – that do not fit on a pallet or would overhang pallet racking beams.
How is arm spacing determined?
By the length, stiffness and weight of the load: it must rest on enough arms not to sag, with the load distributed to the columns. Spacing, number of arms and capacity are defined by the project.
Can cantilever racking be installed outdoors?
Yes. Outdoor installations get suitable surface protection and, if required, a canopy.
What equipment handles the loads?
Usually a counterbalance or side-loading forklift; cranes can also be used. Aisle width is based on the equipment.
What information do you need for a quotation?
For a quotation please send: type, length, cross-section and weight of the loads (per item and per bundle), number of items or bundles per level, indoor or outdoor installation, available space and height, and the handling equipment (counterbalance or side-loading forklift, crane).
