Cantilever Racking Systems For Non-Standard Long, Heavy Or Bulky Goods

Easily Holds Items That Extend Beyond the Rack Span

The lack of vertical or oblique braces means that a cantilever racking system can easily hold items extending beyond the rack span. The open front design makes it easy to pick large or heavy goods straight off the shelf, simplifying your storage and retrieval processes.

Cantilever racking systems are also modular and highly configurable. Single racks can be arranged to form aisles or bays that support your workflows and work processes. Most cantilever racking systems can be installed in single or double-sided configurations, allowing you to make the most of all available space.

Decking Options for Inventory Requiring Extra Support

There's also the option to add decking to your cantilever racking – allowing you to store other types of inventory that requires extra support than a pallet or coil racking system will give. Some of our clients use cantilever racking systems with additional decking to store sofas and other types of furniture that are unsuitable for traditional pallet racking systems.

A Good Design Will Enhance Operational Efficiency

A well-designed cantilever racking system will make good use of available warehouse space and make it easy for your workforce to access inventory.  By using any combination of forklifts, pallet jacks or hoists will help maximise available storage space and improve the overall efficiency of your warehouse management process.

Furthermore, a well-designed system will also support automation and facilitate the use of cutting-edge logistics software to help you track inventory as it moves through your warehouse.

Here at United Storage Systems, we specialise in delivering best-in-class racking that removes roadblocks and boosts productivity.

Over the past 40 plus years, we've built, designed and installed custom cantilever racking systems for household names up and down the country, providing best-in-class systems engineered to suit the individual requirements of major DIY chains, builders merchants and furniture manufacturers.

Designed and Manufactured for Durability

We manufacture cantilever racking systems in a bespoke facility in Haverhill, Suffolk. Opened in 2006, this specialised production plant allows us to produce cantilever racking that meets some of the industry’s most stringent standards.

Modular Build for Maximum Flexibility

Our cantilever racking is modular in design. The cantilever arms are easily adjustable to suit your storage requirements, but its straightforward application belies its incredible strength and durability.

Cantilever racking in a warehouse

A properly configured and well-maintained cantilever racking system can hold anywhere from 200 to 30,000 kilograms of inventory per column (or upright) and, in some instances, more dependent on design. There aren't many alternatives that can boast the same!

Strong and Durable, including Weather-Resistant Finishes for External Storage

We also have the capability to hot-dip our cantilever racking to provide a galvanised finish that’s entirely weather-resistant – enabling you to use your racking to store inventory in yards and other external spaces.

If well maintained, our cantilever racking systems will endure many years of heavy use. They’re durable enough to withstand the rigours of a busy warehouse environment, and their field-proven strength and durability make them ideal for storing hefty loads.

A Simple Process to Customise Your Cantilever Racking System

We rarely offer off-the-shelf design because we want to ensure that your warehouse racking system helps to:

• Maximise your available storage space
• Support your current warehouse management processes
• Improve the efficiency of your day-to-day operations

Instead, we follow a tried and tested process that enables us to deliver a cantilever racking system that’s properly optimised for your facility and stock management systems.

This process starts with an in-depth discovery session, and doesn’t end until you’re 100% satisfied with your new racking system.

Post-Installation Care and Maintenance Service

Once your cantilever racking is installed, and your warehouse is fully operational, our staff will also be on hand to answer any questions about your new racking system. We'll also support you by providing ongoing care and maintenance options to ensure the investment continues to deliver value to your business.
