In modern industrial logistics, efficient storage of long, bulky, or irregularly shaped materials is a persistent challenge. Traditional pallet racking often falls short when it comes to accommodating items like steel beams, wooden planks, PVC pipes, or furniture frames. This is where the Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking System emerges as the definitive solution—engineered for strength, flexibility, and space optimization in demanding warehouse environments.
Designed specifically for industries handling steel profiles, lumber bundles, metal tubing, and large furniture components, this cantilever system eliminates front obstructions, allowing unimpeded access from the aisle. Unlike conventional racking that relies on vertical uprights at the front, cantilever racks feature arms extending horizontally from a central column, creating an open-front design ideal for forklift or crane operations.
The structural integrity of our heavy-duty cantilever racks stems from high-grade cold-rolled Q235B steel (SS400) sourced from Shanghai Baosteel Group—a trusted name in metallurgy. Each component undergoes rigorous deoiling and derusting before receiving a durable epoxy polyester powder coating, ensuring corrosion resistance in indoor settings. For outdoor or high-humidity applications, a hot-dip galvanized finish is available upon request.
Load capacities are tailored to real-world demands: arms support 300kg, 500kg, or up to 700kg each, with standard arm lengths ranging from 600mm to 1500mm (custom extensions up to 2500mm possible). Column heights reach up to 9 meters, perforated every 100mm (or 50mm for precision adjustments), enabling flexible configuration based on inventory dimensions.
Available in both single-sided (ideal for wall-mounted installations) and double-sided (maximizing storage density along central aisles) configurations, these systems adapt seamlessly to existing warehouse layouts. A typical double-sided bay measures W1200 × D2400 × H3600mm, supporting 3–5 adjustable arm levels—perfect for mixed SKUs of timber, rebar, or extruded aluminum.
Safety is non-negotiable. The absence of front columns reduces collision risks during material handling, while bolted arm connections ensure stability under dynamic loads. Optional ground guidance rails enhance alignment during forklift maneuvers, minimizing damage to racks and goods alike.
Industries benefiting from this system include:
- Steel service centers storing I-beams, channels, and angle iron
- Lumber yards managing dimensional lumber, plywood sheets, and engineered wood
- Pipe distributors handling HDPE, steel, or copper tubing in varying diameters
- Furniture manufacturers organizing bed frames, table legs, and modular components
Moreover, the modular nature of the system allows future scalability. Need more capacity? Simply add uprights, arms, or bracing without dismantling the entire structure. Our engineering team provides free CAD layout consultations, helping you visualize optimal rack placement based on your facility’s dimensions and throughput requirements.
In an era where warehouse efficiency directly impacts supply chain velocity, investing in a Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking System isn’t just practical—it’s strategic. Reduce handling time, eliminate wasted floor space, and safeguard your inventory with a storage solution built for the toughest industrial applications.
