Cantilever Racking System

Product Description

Cantilever racking is a specialized storage solution for holding bulky and awkwardly shaped items. Items like pipes, lumber, timber, furniture, moldings, etc. can be stored and easily accessed on cantilever systems. Other racking systems cannot hold these items because of their irregular shapes. The main benefit of cantilever racks is that they do not have a front support beam, allowing forklifts and other industrial trucks to easily access the items on it from the front of the unit.

Cantilever racking is ideal for loads that require no obstruction at the pick face, so that bulky and awkwardly sized or shaped products can be safely stored and accessed. This type of racking allows you to use your warehouse space more efficiently – you do not need to waste horizontal space with awkward posts and columns obstructing storage areas. Items best suited to such a system include furniture, building materials, piping, rolls, appliances, and flooring. In essence, if you have irregularly shaped items then cantilever racking is the ideal choice for you.

You can fit this racking system to your facility by adjusting the shelf height, ensuring that the maximum amount of vertical storage space is maintained. Moreover, the support arms can vary in depth and capacity depending on the type of load. Open rows allow not only secure load support but also easy access – safety, flexibility and selectivity are all maintained.
