If you are looking for storage which is suitable for long and heavy goods, then cantilever racking is the ideal option for you. Cantilever racking is used in many different settings, from builders yards to timber merchants and window manufacturers.

The hardy structure of this type of racking is what allows it to hold heavy loads. The main stability comes from the vertical steel frames which give the racking its structure; the cantilever arms are then attached to it via holes which are drilled in the frames.

These holes can be created in either one or both sides of the vertical frames, allowing for single or double-sided storage. Naturally, having a double-sided system will save space in your storage facility, but this would not be appropriate if the racking is to be placed against a wall.

One of the main advantages of cantilever racking is the flexibility that it affords the user. This is because the cantilever arms themselves are available in differing lengths and weight-bearing capabilities, but all attach to the same vertical frames. Therefore, the racks can hold products of differing lengths and weights on the same racks so no space will be lost through racks not being filled or each product needing its own frame.

The flexibility of cantilever racking means that the whole racking system can be designed around your premises and storage requirements.
