Designed for Items That Don’t Suit Standard Pallet Racking
Cantilever Racking
Cantilever racking stores long, bulky and irregular loads such as timber, pipes and steel. Because it has no front columns, it gives clear access for easy loading and unloading, and you can configure it to suit various load sizes for both indoor and outdoor applications.
A1 Precision Solutions is an AS4084:2023 certified installer and authorised Colby distributor, meaning every cantilever racking system we design and install is engineered to Australian safety standards.

Open Front Design
for Fast, Easy Access
Cantilever pallet racking has supports on only one end, creating a cantilever to place goods on. Because it has no supports on the front, businesses often use cantilever racking to store longer items like lumber and piping. Depending on the application, you can also set the cantilever arms at angles to prevent goods from rolling.
You can set up and modify cantilever racking to store all sorts of different long items, and it suits light, medium, and heavy duty storage. You can still easily access items stored on cantilever racking via forklift, by hand, or with any other materials handling equipment.
Benefits of Cantilever Racking
Cantilever racking is a great solution for unique storage solutions in many industries.
- Perfect for storing long items like carpeting, plumbing materials, and more.
- Modular and modifiable to suit specific needs.
- Stock is still easy to access.
Why Use Cantilever Racking
As mentioned, cantilever racking is the perfect solution for storing longer stock, regardless of its weight. Businesses use cantilever racking across many industries, but we typically see it in industries that need to store things like lumber, metal, piping, and more. If it’s a long item, it’s most likely suitable for cantilever racking.
Depending on the industry, many warehouses will have both standard pallet racking and cantilever racking. Both storage solutions specialise in storage in different ways, and businesses with different types of products can benefit from both.
Frequently asked questions
01 What can cantilever racking store?
Cantilever racking is ideal for long, bulky, or irregularly shaped items that don't fit standard pallet racking — including timber, steel lengths, pipes, sheet metal, and plasterboard.
02 Is cantilever racking suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. Galvanised cantilever racking is available for outdoor or weather-exposed applications, offering resistance to rust and corrosion.
03 What's the difference between single-sided and double-sided cantilever racking?
Single-sided racking is accessed from one side only and is typically installed against a wall. Double-sided racking has arms on both sides of the upright, doubling storage capacity for the same footprint.
04 Does your cantilever racking comply with Australian standards?
Yes. A1 Precision Solutions is an AS4084:2023 certified installer, and our cantilever racking systems are engineered to meet Australian steel storage racking standards.
05 Can cantilever racking be customised for my warehouse?
Yes. Arm lengths, upright heights, and load capacities can all be configured to suit your specific stock and space requirements.
06 How much weight can cantilever racking hold?
The exact capacity depends on arm length, upright height, and configuration. Our team can recommend the right setup during a site assessment.
