Cantilever Racking
Heavy Duty Cantilever Racking
Stakapal, a supplier of Cantilever Racking, is the ideal storage solution for storing long, heavy and bulky loads.
Our range is manufactured and supplied directly from the UK, and offers a safe, cost-effective and sustainable option for many businesses looking to transform their space.
Stakapal manufactures bespoke heavy-duty cantilever racking using only the highest-quality, fully certified, and traceable steel, tested in-house for robustness and longevity.
What are the features of cantilever racking?
Our boxed column design is tested and manufactured to withstand the highest resistance to bending and axial loads.
We punch our columns on both sides at a 76mm pitch, which allows for varied arm height.
This also means that every column is capable of being single sided or double sided cantilever racks, offering excellent adjustability for the storage of heavy items.
Columns & Base Plates
Tapered columns enable a racking structure to be used at height to prevent leaning into the aisles, ensuring maximum clearance from products to forklift trucks. Alongside our fully welded base, which further enhances the strength of the rack column and reduces column deflection. The smooth base end plate can be customised to convert your Cantilever Racking configuration into a Guided Aisle system, with the option to add base-mounted steel guide rails or hardwood rubbing strips to protect forklift trucks.
Arms & Wedge Pins
Our easily adjustable arms are designed to move with your stockholding needs. The tapered design also assists in loading and unloading with increased clearance to prevent damage to stock and the racking itself. Every arm is secured to the column using wedge pins, and it is essential to use the correct ones to maintain the structural integrity of the arms.

How much does cantilever racking cost?
The cost to buy cantilever racking can vary, depending on a variety of factors.
Used racking can be significantly cheaper than new, but comes with risks that could be detrimental to your business and site health and safety, which ends up costing you more money over time.
The initial investment in new racking will be higher, but the benefits make it a well-spent investment.
We hire every member of our team directly (so, no outsourcing). This way, we ensure that we are fully responsible and accountable for the project from start to finish, and our values are upheld every step of the way.

Is my cantilever racking compliant?
Racking compliance can be determined by having annual inspections carried out by a SARI (SEMA Approved Racking Inspector) who is specifically trained to identify risks and damage to a racking system in accordance with SEMA guidelines.
Stakapal now has five in-house SARIs who are all trained to inspect both Cantilever racks and Pallet Racking. Read more about inspections here.
Do I need load labels on my cantilever racking?
Yes! Many suppliers have cantilever racking for sale, but don't include load labels. Load labels are an essential part of your cantilever racking. Stakapal include load labels as standard with every new racking project we do.
They display the correct and safe load capacity that your racking can carry and are one of the first things that an Environmental Health Officer or Insurance Official will look for.
If you aren’t sure about your load information, get in touch with our in-house engineers to check, or find more information in our load label guide here.
