Rayonnages en porte-à-faux : conçus pour une meilleure accessibilité et une meilleure efficacité
  • Optimize Storage for Larger Materials: Cantilever racks provide open, obstruction-free storage for lumber, pipes, steel sheets, and other bulky items.
  • Maximize Space and Accessibility: These racks improve vertical storage, free up floor space, and allow easy loading and unloading.
  • Customizable and Heavy-Duty Solutions: Available in single- and double-sided configurations with medium- to heavy-duty weight capacities.
  • Ideal for Multiple Industries: Used in construction, warehousing, logistics, and lumber yards to streamline material handling and organization.

 

Standard shelving works well for many storage needs, but when it comes to bulky, long, or irregularly shaped materials, traditional racks often fall short. Cantilever racks solve this problem by offering unobstructed storage that makes it easier to load and retrieve materials, maximizing both accessibility and space efficiency.

 

Whether you're storing lumber, pipes, steel sheets, or furniture, cantilever racks provide a customizable, durable, and cost-effective solution for warehouses, construction sites, and industrial storage facilities.

 

What Are Cantilever Racks?

 

Cantilever racks are heavy-duty storage systems designed to support long and oversized materials without front vertical obstructions. Their open-front design allows for easy access while maximizing vertical space.

 

Built with a central support column and adjustable arms, these racks can be single-sided (for placement against walls) or double-sided (to store materials on both sides of the column). With modular configurations, businesses can expand or reconfigure their racks as storage needs evolve.

 

Cantilever racks are ideal for industries that require efficient material handling, including warehousing, construction, logistics, and manufacturing.

 

How Cantilever Racks Maximize Space

 

Cantilever racking systems maximize available space by utilizing multiple vertical storage levels while keeping materials stored horizontally on cantilever arms. These racks offer:

 

  • Increased storage capacity – Multiple storage levels optimize vertical space utilization.
  • Improved accessibility – Open design makes it easier to load and unload large materials.
  • Customizable configurations – Modular components allow businesses to adjust shelving as inventory changes.
  • Heavy-duty support – Designed to hold medium, heavy, and extra-heavy loads.

 

With starter and add-on units, businesses can customize their storage setup to accommodate varying material sizes and weights.

 

Types of Cantilever Racks

 

Cantilever racks are available in single-sided and double-sided configurations, depending on storage requirements.

 

  • Single-sided racks – Designed for placement against a wall or anchored to the ground for stability.
  • Double-sided racks – Feature a center support column and allow storage on both sides, optimizing space in open areas.

 

Cantilever racks are also categorized by weight capacity and material strength. Les options sont les suivantes :

 

  • Steel cantilever racks – Strong and durable, ideal for industrial storage.
  • Medium-duty cantilever racks – Suitable for moderate loads in warehouses and workshops.
  • Heavy-duty cantilever racks – Engineered for structural steel, large pipes, and oversized materials.
