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.
