Cantilever Racking Systems | Long & Bulky Load Storage
Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking Solutions Across the UK
Cantilever racking systems are the ideal warehouse storage solution for long, bulky and awkward loads that cannot be stored efficiently on standard pallet racking. Designed with horizontal arms extending from vertical columns, cantilever racking provides open, unobstructed storage for items such as timber, steel, pipes, sheet materials and long products.
At A-Z Storage Systems, we design, supply and install bespoke cantilever racking systems for warehouses, manufacturing sites and yards across the UK. Our solutions are built for strength, safety and flexibility, ensuring your long-load storage is efficient, accessible and fully compliant.
All installations are carried out by experienced teams and SEIRS-registered installers, ensuring full compliance with UK safety regulations and industry standards.
What Is Cantilever Racking?
Cantilever racking is a specialist storage system consisting of vertical columns and projecting arms, allowing materials to be stored without front uprights obstructing access. This makes it ideal for products with irregular shapes or extended lengths.
Cantilever racking is commonly used for:
Timber and lumber storage
Steel sections and metal bars
Pipes, tubing and conduits
Sheet materials such as MDF, plywood and plastics
Long, bulky or non-palletised items
Systems can be configured as single-sided or double-sided, and designed for both indoor and outdoor use.
Benefits of Cantilever Racking
Perfect for Long & Bulky Loads:
Open-front design allows easy loading and unloading of oversized materials using forklifts or manual handling equipment.
Strong, Heavy-Duty Construction:
Engineered to support high loads, cantilever racking is built using robust steel columns and arms with precise load ratings.
Flexible & Adjustable:
Arms can be adjusted vertically to suit different product heights, making the system adaptable as storage requirements change.
Efficient Use of Warehouse Space:
By eliminating front uprights, cantilever racking maximises usable storage space and improves accessibility.
Indoor & Outdoor Solutions:
Galvanised or painted finishes allow cantilever racking to be used safely inside warehouses or in external storage yards.
