Single and double sided cantilever racks

Cantilever racking is ideal for those applications where you need to store long or bulky product. Cantilever racking has no front columns to interfere with the placement or retrieval of loads. Any load or storage slot is immediately available. It lowers your handling cost saving you time and money.

• Safe and neat storage of long products
• Maximises usage of floor space
• Each rack designed and manufactured to suit your individual requirements
• Robust design to cope with arduous environments
• Ideal for plywood & timber, building materials, pipe & tubing, sheet steel, roll goods, extrusions

Reels of delicate material stored on spigot arms to avoid pressure marks

Typical storage of long items

• Arms positively secured in position using two high tensile, zinc plated bolts
• Arms adjustable on a typical pitch of 150 mm, which can be varied if required
• All upright and base sections are manufactured from hot rolled universal beam sections
• Arms manufactured from universal beam or rectangular hollow sections
• Racks are available in any colour, although black is standard
• The latest computer technology is used to achieve the most efficient design
• All designs meet current British Standards
• Minimum safety factor of 2.8 based on ultimate tensile strength
• Arm deflection limited to 1/150 of length
• Upright deflection limited to lesser of 1/120 of height or 50 mm
• "Worst Case Scenario" for loading patterns is always assumed
• Maximum allowable weld stress of 115 N/mm2

The cantilevers can be clearly seen in this racking application.

A cantilever is a beam that is supported at one end and carries a load at the other end or along its length, having the other end suspended in the air. The beam forms a lever, which carries the load by being held in position by the mount, turning the loads into torque on the mount. Cantilever construction allows for long structures without external bracing.

• 1-Cantilevered beam
• 2-Supporting post
• 3-Location of torque

Vertical bar rack, ideal for storing lengthy material.

Vertical racking is designed for vertical storage of tubing, pipe and other types of similar materials. It enables you to organize pipes, extrusions etc. in a systematic and readily accessible manner.

• Product stored logically
• Ideal for hand-picked items
• Allows quick and easy selection
• Location size readily adjusts as stock levels vary
• Sturdy construction
• Arms adjustable horizontally without use of tools
• Standard location depth 600 mm but any depth available
• Bay centres designed to suit space available
• Heights from 2 metres to 6 metres
• Single- or double-sided
• Floor retaining angle keeps stock safely in rack
