Cantilever racking is a storage solution used by a range of companies in different industries. It provides comprehensive storage of a range of products which are extremely heavy or long e.g. metal extrusions.

This type of racking consists mainly of strong uprights and cantilever arms on which the products are placed. The uprights are made from strong steel and provide a sturdy structure for the cantilever arms to attach to. The arms themselves are also strong steel to ensure that they are able to bear the heavy loads that will be placed upon them.

Cantilever racking arms are available in different sizes and strengths to accommodate differing loads in terms of shapes, sizes and weights. One of the main advantage of cantilever racking is that it can be tailored to your needs so in one storage system you can have different racking arms allowing you to store a range of different materials. This is convenient for storage facilities which hold a range of stock e.g. timber merchants or steel works.

The uprights can be manufactured with holes made in either sides so that the racking can be double sided which provides a space saving storage solution. Another way in which you can make the most of your warehouse space is by using side-load forklift trucks instead of standard ones; this will allow the aisles between the racks to be narrower, therefore reducing the amount of wasted space.
