Cantilever Rack Components:

Bases anchor the cantilever rack system to the floor and also connect to the unit’s upright acting as the main stabilising component.

Upright Columns connect to the base and have holes in which the cantilever arms are connected to create the storage levels. Uprights can be used for both single and double-sided units.

Braces are used to stabilise the upright columns offering horizontal and diagonal support.

Decking is an option available for certain applications offering a solid shelf level to the cantilever storage arms.

With floor stacking capital investment is lower but efficiency and actual storage capacity is also very low. A cantilever system makes stock more accessible thus reducing handling times and improving productivity.

Additional arms can be added allowing for storage of all shapes and sizes.

When to use Cantilever racking

  • Storing long span items
  • Storing bulky items
  • Storing awkward shaped items
  • Storing heavy goods
  • Improve productivity and access by getting goods off the floor space

When not to use Cantilever racking

  • Storing pallets as it is inefficient compare to pallet racking
