Cantilever Racking

Cantilever Racking

Cantilever pallet racking is a racking that’s only supported on one end, creating a cantilever to place goods on. Because there are no supports on the front of the racking, cantilever racking is often used to store longer items like lumber and piping. Depending on the application, the cantilever arms can also be set at angles to prevent goods from rolling.

Cantilever racking can be set up and modified to store all sorts of different long items, and is suitable for light, medium, and heavy duty storage. Items stored on cantilever racking are still easily accessible via forklift, manually, or 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 of storing longer stock, regardless of the weight of that stock. Cantilever racking is used across many industries, but, typically, we’ve seen it in industries that need to store things like lumber, metal, piping, and more. If it’s a long item, it’s mostly likely suitable for cantilever racking.

Depending on the industry, many warehouses will have both standard pallet racking and cantilever racking. Both storage solutions are specialised for storage in a different way, and businesses with different types of products can benefit from both solutions.
