What to expect from a Cantilever Racking Installation?
Step 1: Site Visit
One of our in-house engineers will visit your site to further understand your requirements, needs and space available.
They will measure the area and ask you questions about your handling equipment, stock and required loading capacities.
We will discuss our wide range of racking systems and which may be most suitable, e.g. cantilever system and pallet racking systems, and if you aim to store long heavy loads, palletised goods or have handloading requirements.
Step 2: Design & Quote
Our Projects and Design team will create a drawing detailing the best racking solution for you. It will show every aspect of the yard or warehouse racking.
We work with you every step of the way so your new racking system meets every specfic requirement of your business operations. Our expert engineers will provide suggestions whilst ensuring complete compliance throughout.
Once your proposed design is complete, you will receive a quote.
Step 3: Order
Happy with your design and quote?
Our sales team will process your order and answer any questions you may have. Your order will be sent to our in-house factory, where we will begin manufacturing your bespoke racking solution.
We will provide you with a more precise lead time and schedule your installation period. We also include Load Labels as standard.
Step 4: Manufacture
Our production team will be instructed to begin manufacturing your new storage system. Every project starts from a steel coil which is transformed into bespoke elements by our manufacturing team of welders, technicians and engineers.
They can also paint your racking to a colour of your choosing, our favourite is Stakapal Red!
During this time, we are on hand to assist with pre-installation preparation to prevent unnecessary delay to your new upgraded warehouse.
Step 5: Racking Installation
Your racking will arrive before installation day, and our teams will explain to you what will happen on the day, alongside what we need from you.

Racking Installation FAQs
As part of our concept-to-completion service, we offer all customers the option of supplying and installing our state-of-the-art systems.
Installation involves assembling the frame, securing it to the floor, and adding beams and shelves, following the manufacturer’s instructions and safety standards.
Installation may vary depending on the system chosen, e.g. pallet racking installation, or if there are other factors to work around, e.g. mezzanine flooring.
Yes, by ensuring the installation has been put together by a trained and qualified SEIRs member, you are ensuring compliance with safety standards and optimal performance. Though some systems can be user-installed, which is at the discretion of the individual and is not something we personally advise.
Floors should be level, strong enough to support the load, and free of cracks. Concrete is the most common flooring used.
Installation time varies. A simple or smaller single-sided setup might take a few hours, while a large, double-sided, complex system can take several days.
Permitting requirements vary by location. Check with local building authorities to determine if permits are needed.
Racking Inspections FAQs
Racking inspections ensure the structural integrity and safety of the racking system, preventing accidents and ensuring compliance with regulations.
Conduct regular inspections at least once a year, with more frequent checks if the racking is heavily used or if there are known issues. Stakapal offers all its customers the opportunity to schedule an annual SEMA Racking inspection as part of our ongoing support services. These inspections are conducted by our own in-house SARI’s.
Inspections can be done by trained SARI (SEMA Approved Racking Inspector) whom are knowledgeable about racking systems and safety standards.
During a racking inspection, a SARI will look at every part of your racking, from individual cantilever arms to the highest point of the frame. They are looking for damaged components, loose bolts, signs of overloading, proper alignment, and signs of wear or corrosion.
A racking inspection can be the best way for a cost-effective repair - our in-house SARIs know when to look at an inspection repair rather than replacement, something we actively encourage.
Unload the affected area immediately, mark it as out of service, and arrange for repairs or replacements. Do not use the damaged racking until it is properly repaired.
