Cantilever Racking Systems Built to Perform
Selecting the correct cantilever racking system is critical for efficient warehouse management, safety, and load optimisation. Stakapal offers three distinct options—SpeedStock, Medium-Duty, and Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking – each engineered to suit different applications, load requirements, and environments. Here’s a detailed comparison to guide your decision:
SpeedStock Cantilever Racking – Light-Duty, Fast-Access Storage
The SpeedStock Cantilever Racking System is ideal for light to medium-duty storage environments where fast access and rapid picking are essential. This system features columns up to 6 metres in height and arms extending up to 1220mm in length, supporting loads of up to 1000kg per arm. The internal finish is colour-coded in blue and yellow, while the external surfaces are protected with a hot-dip galvanised (HD Galv) coating—making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. SpeedStock is particularly effective for storing lightweight timber, plastic tubing, and other fast-moving inventory in builders’ yards, joinery workshops, and similar operations.
Medium-Duty Cantilever Racking – Versatile, Multi-Purpose Storage
Designed for broader storage applications, the Medium-Duty Cantilever Racking system offers a balanced solution for medium to heavy-duty requirements. With column heights reaching up to 8 metres and arm lengths extending up to 1500mm, this racking system supports loads of up to 1500kg per arm. The internal colour scheme of blue and red enhances visibility and safety, while the HD Galv external finish provides long-term corrosion resistance in outdoor conditions. Ideal for warehouses storing timber packs, aluminium extrusions, steel tubes, and a mix of bulky and mid-weight goods, this solution ensures operational flexibility without compromising strength or durability.
Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking – Engineered for Industrial-Scale Loads
The Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking system is built to handle extremely heavy and bulky loads commonly found in industrial and manufacturing environments. Supporting column heights up to 13 metres and arm lengths up to 2500mm, this system can carry loads of up to 2500kg per arm. Finished internally in red and charcoal for enhanced visibility, and externally with a HD Galv finish for superior corrosion protection, it is designed for demanding applications such as storing steel sections, oversized timber packs, concrete formwork, and palletised goods. This racking system is optimised for high-density storage and is compatible with forklift handling operations.
