Cantilever racking: safe storage for long and bulky materials
Cantilever racking is a storage system made up of columns and cantilevered arms on which the load rests. It is designed for long or bulky products (bars, profiles, pipes, lumber, sheets or materials with irregular dimensions) that do not fit conventional pallet systems.

What is cantilever racking?
It is a simple, sturdy and easy-to-assemble structure made up of vertical columns and horizontal cantilevered arms. Because it has no front uprights, it offers open access that makes it easier to load and handle very long goods.
Key features
Open design with no front uprights: makes it easier to access and handle long materials.
Light or heavy-duty configuration: adapts to the height, weight and type of goods.
Adjustable levels: the arms can be set at different heights to suit the load.
Single or double-sided: it can be installed with levels on one or both sides of the structure.
Flexible handling: suitable for manual loading of light materials, or for forklifts/lifting equipment with heavy loads.
