Why Choose Cantilever Racking?

We understand the challenges of storing long, bulky, or uniquely shaped items like timber, pipes, steel bars, or furniture. That is why we specialise in cantilever racking systems, innovative storage solutions designed to maximise space, improve accessibility, and enhance safety. Unlike traditional shelving or pallet racking, this racking features arms that extend from a single column, eliminating front obstructions and making it easier to load and unload items. Whether you operate a warehouse, manufacturing facility, or retail space, our systems are tailored to meet your unique storage needs.

The full range is manufactured in accordance with the SEMA (Storage Equipment Manufacturers Association) Code of Practice for The Design of Static Cantilever Racking and/or FEM 10-2-09 and/or BS5950 Part 5 and/or BS EN1993-1-3 (Eurocode 3).

Our cantilever racking solutions are built with durability and flexibility in mind. Made from steel, they can handle heavy loads while offering adjustable arm heights to accommodate various item sizes. Well versed in this industry, we have helped businesses both, big and small, optimise their storage, reduce operational downtime, and improve workplace efficiency.

Benefits of Cantilever Racking

Versatile Storage for All Lengths & Sizes

Adjustable arms and columns allow you to store materials ranging from short timber boards to long steel beams, without being confined to uniform rack spacing.

Fork-Lift Friendly & Easy Access

With no front columns, operators enjoy clear, obstruction-free access, enabling faster loading and unloading by forklift, boosting productivity and reducing handling time.

Modular, Scalable Design

Whether you are adding a few bays or revamping your entire layout, cantilever systems are fully modular. Rearranging or expanding is straightforward and cost-efficient, but please speak with the manufacturer for professional advice.

Enhanced Workplace Safety

Clear visibility, no tight corners, and structured storage minimize the risk of accidents, protecting both staff and materials.

Tailored to Environment & Conditions

Choose from durable column-and-arm combinations, powder-coated for indoor use or hot-dipped galvanised for external storage, designed to withstand environmental stress.

Cost-Efficient Utilisation

Built with structural steel in line with SEMA, FEM, Eurocode, and BS standards, these racks offer high load capacity and long-term durability, delivering excellent ROI.

Our systems are more than just storage, they are a strategic investment in your business’s efficiency and expansion.
