The design of most racking systems is for standardised loads. They make it easy to receive, stow and pick pallets or cartons, but they don’t help you store irregular or unwieldy items like lengths of steel pipe or timber.
Flexible Storage That Makes The Most Of Your Space
Cantilever racking is a little different. Composed of vertical columns, horizontal braces and long arms that are designed to hold long or bulky loads, it’s ideally suited to storing inventory that won’t fit on a standard racking system.
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.
