Cantilever Racking
At A-Z Storage Systems, we design, supply and install high-quality cantilever racking systems for warehouses, builders merchants, manufacturing facilities and industrial storage operations across the UK.
Cantilever racking is specifically designed for the safe and efficient storage of long, heavy or awkward materials that cannot easily be stored on standard pallet racking systems. Its open-fronted design allows unrestricted loading and unloading of bulky products while maximising warehouse organisation and accessibility.
Our bespoke cantilever storage systems are tailored to your warehouse layout, product dimensions and operational requirements to ensure safe, efficient and durable storage solutions.
All systems are installed in accordance with current SEMA guidance, HSE recommendations and warehouse safety standards.
Cantilever racking systems are ideal for storing:
Timber
Steel bars
Pipes & tubing
Carpet rolls
Sheet materials
Furniture
Plasterboard
Long industrial products
What Is Cantilever Racking?
Cantilever racking is a specialist warehouse storage system consisting of vertical columns with horizontal load-bearing arms extending outward to support long or oversized products.
Unlike traditional pallet racking, cantilever racking has no front upright obstruction, allowing materials to be loaded and unloaded easily using forklifts or side-loading equipment.
The system is available in:
Single-sided cantilever racking
Double-sided cantilever racking
Light-duty cantilever racking
Heavy-duty cantilever racking
Roofed/Covered Cantilever Systems
Cantilever racking is widely used within:
Timber merchants
Steel stockholders
Warehouses
Manufacturing facilities
Builders merchants
Distribution centres
Industrial storage yards
Ideal for Long & Bulky Products
Cantilever racking is specifically designed to safely store long loads and awkward products that are unsuitable for conventional pallet racking systems.
Excellent Accessibility
The open-fronted design allows fast loading and unloading while providing clear access to stored materials.
Strong & Durable Design
Our cantilever racking systems are engineered for demanding industrial environments and heavy-duty storage requirements.
Flexible Arm Adjustment
Cantilever arms can be adjusted to accommodate different product lengths, heights and load requirements.
Maximises Storage Space
Cantilever systems help maximise vertical and horizontal storage capacity while maintaining organised warehouse operations.
Suitable for Indoor & Outdoor Use
Heavy-duty cantilever racking systems can be galvanised or powder-coated for external storage applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is drive-in pallet racking?
Drive-in pallet racking is a high-density warehouse storage system where forklifts drive directly into the racking lanes to store pallets several positions deep.
What are the advantages of drive-in racking?
Drive-in racking maximises pallet storage capacity, reduces aisle space and is ideal for storing large quantities of similar products.
Is drive-in racking suitable for cold stores?
Yes. Drive-in pallet racking is commonly used in chilled and frozen storage environments due to its high-density storage capability.
What is the difference between drive-in and drive-through racking?
Drive-in racking uses a LIFO system with access from one side, while drive-through racking allows FIFO stock rotation with access from both ends.
Do you provide nationwide installation?
Yes. We design, supply and install drive-in pallet racking systems throughout the UK.
