Cantilever racks are made up of vertical single columns with horizontal arms. They are secured with wedge pins to carry long, heavy products and are perfect for warehouses and yard environments.
The columns are designed to be self-supporting and manufactured from British steel sections that can be built as either a single or double-sided, to save on floor space.

What is Cantilever Racking?
- Columns – vertical upright columns to which arms are affixed
- Arms – arms are attached to the columns. Arms can be attached at variable heights and to either side, making it a double-sided or single-sided cantilever rack.
- Brace Frames – located at the back of the rack, and increase the load capacity for the frames
- Integral Base – the integral base for support
Cantilever storage has a central base which supports a set of arms. The arms can be adapted to accommodate specific load-bearing requirements. Highly versatile arms mean that the system can be designed to suit any pack size to maximise space utilisation. Bespoke heavy-duty steel shelving provides maximum storage capacity on a single central column.
Single sided cantilever racks can fit flush against the wall, and double-sided cantilever racks allow for storage on either side, and can be used throughout the warehouse, creating storage space on either side of the central column.
Warehouse rack arm lengths are customised to suit the load types and the product to be stored. Arms are adjustable, allowing the flexibility to store different product types.
Our storage systems are easily configurable to accommodate different heights and types of goods, allowing for efficient space utilisation within warehouses and yards. It is highly recommended that an installation is conducted by SEMA qualified installers i.e. SEIRS (Storage Equipment Installers Registration Scheme).
