Cantilever Rack

A cantilever rack is a special racking system designed for the storage of long, bulky or uneven goods. These include wood, pipes, metal bars, profiles and sheet material. These racks provide a flexible and accessible solution for warehouses and production facilities that need to store such materials efficiently and securely.

Structure and functionality of cantilever racks

Cantilever racks consist of a robust frame structure with vertical columns and horizontal arms (known as cantilevers) that protrude freely from the columns. This design makes it possible to load and unload the stored goods easily and without obstacles.

  • Vertical columns: These support the weight and provide the necessary stability. They are available in different heights to meet specific storage requirements.
  • Cantilever arms: These arms are attached to the vertical columns and can be arranged at different lengths and distances. They are often adjustable to adapt to different sizes of material.
  • Bases: The bases of the columns provide additional stability and can also be used as storage space.

Advantages of cantilever racks

Cantilever racks offer several advantages that make them a preferred choice for certain storage applications:

  • Flexibility: the open design with no vertical obstructions allows for easy adjustment and rearrangement of storage space.
  • Accessibility: As there are no front columns, forklift trucks or other lifting equipment can easily reach the stored goods.
  • Space optimization: The ability to position the cantilever arms at different heights maximizes vertical storage capacity.
  • Load capacity: Cantilever racks are designed for heavy loads and provide a stable storage solution for heavy and bulky materials.

Areas of application for cantilever racks

Cantilever racks are used in various industries and environments, including

  • DIY stores and timber yards: for storing timber, boards and other building materials.
  • Metal industry: For the storage of pipes, bars and profiles.
  • Furniture industry: For storing long furniture components such as frames and panels.
  • Recycling centers: For the organization and storage of recyclable materials.
