Cantilever Racking
Storage made for the long, the tall, and the awkward.
Cantilever racking is open, strong, and intentionally simple—built for materials that refuse to fit on traditional shelving. No front posts. No wasted space. Just clean access and serious strength for lumber, steel, pipe, and oversized inventory.
ABOUT
Cantilever racking is designed for the materials that don’t play by standard rules. Long, bulky, oversized, or irregularly shaped items finally get a storage system that works with them—not against them.
This open-front, heavy-duty racking solution is ideal for storing lumber, steel, pipe, tubing, sheet goods, furniture components, and other extended materials that are difficult—or impossible—to store on pallet racking or shelving.
Streamlined. Ultra-capable. Built to make difficult inventory feel effortless.
Cantilever racking breaks all the rules—open, adaptable, and purpose-built.

Typical Dimensions
While every system is custom, common dimensions include:
Column Heights: 96” – 240”
Arm Lengths: 24”, 36”, 48”
Bracing Lengths: 36”, 48”, 60”, 72”
Base Lengths: Matched to arm length
Number of levels, arm spacing, and layout are determined by product size, weight, and storage volume.

Custom Design & Components
All cantilever racking systems are custom-designed and manufactured to order, ensuring the system aligns with your space, load requirements, and operational workflow.
Standard components include:
Vertical columns
Horizontal arms (straight or angled)
Bases
Horizontal braces
X-bracing (quantity determined by column height)
Optional safety accessories such as pipe stops

How It Works
· How It Works
LET US EXPLAIN
Vertical steel columns support horizontal arms that extend outward, creating completely open storage levels. With no front posts or obstructions, materials can be loaded and unloaded from the front or side using forklifts or by hand.
The result is maximum accessibility, cleaner workflows, and faster material handling.
LOAD CAPACITY
Each cantilever system is engineered specifically for its application. Load capacity per level is determined by:
Product weight
Arm length and depth
Column height
Number of storage levels
This ensures safe, compliant, and efficient storage tailored to your materials.
