Cantilever racking is a column-and-arm system with no front upright, designed to store long and bulky loads: timber, tubes, steel profiles, panels, PVC pipes. Available single or double sided, indoors or outdoors (galvanized version), it carries from 92 kg per arm in the light-duty range to over 1,500 kg in heavy duty.

Technical specifications
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Load per arm | 92 to 184 kg (light duty), medium and heavy loads on study |
| Arm depth | 400 to 800 mm (light duty), 500 to 1,200 mm (medium duty), 700 mm and more (heavy duty) |
| Column height | 1,750 to 3,000 mm (light duty), 2,000 to 4,000 mm (medium duty), 3,000 mm and more (heavy duty) |
| Supported load length | unlimited by adding intermediate columns (1,000 mm modules, 1,000 to 1,500 mm bracing) |
| Configuration | single sided (against a wall) or double sided; arms adjustable every 76 mm in medium duty |
| Special versions | vertical cantilever (H 2,500 mm, long loads stored upright) and mobile cantilever on casters (250 kg) |
| Use | indoor or galvanized outdoor, optional roof |
How to choose your cantilever racking?
Three questions determine the right configuration:
- What is stored? Structural timber, steel profiles, tubes, panels or joinery require different column spacing and arm loads
- Manual or forklift handling? Sideloaders and multidirectional trucks require suitable aisles and heights
- Indoor or outdoor? Outdoors, hot-dip galvanized columns and arms, with optional cladding or roof
- Single sided against a wall to optimize the perimeter, double sided as a central spine to double capacity
Single-sided or double-sided cantilever?
| Criterion | Single sided | Double sided |
|---|---|---|
| Layout | Against a wall or cladding | Central spine, access both sides |
| Capacity | 1 side of load arms | 2 sides: capacity doubled on the same base |
| Stability | Rear bracing | Self-stabilized by load symmetry |
| Typical use | Workshops, yard perimeter | Timber yards and builders' merchants |
