Advantages of Cantilever Racking
Cantilever pallet racking provides open-front storage for long, bulky and irregular goods, including timber, steel lengths, extrusions, pipes and sheet materials. Without front uprights obstructing access, goods can be loaded and retrieved along the length of the rack.
- Single-sided or double-sided: All cantilever uprights can be used in either configuration to suit your layout and access requirements.
- Configurable runs: Rows of uprights can be extended to suit the required storage length and available space.
- Adjustable arms: Arm positions can be adapted for goods of different heights and loading requirements, with subsequent adjustments made without tools.
- Light and heavy-duty options: Systems are available with capacities up to 1,500 kg per arm, depending on the selected configuration.
- Indoor and outdoor finishes: Choose a powder-coated finish for indoor use or hot-dip galvanised components for outdoor applications.
Choosing the Right Cantilever Warehouse Racking Configuration
The right system depends on the length, weight and rigidity of your stock, as well as how it will be handled. These factors determine the arm length, support spacing and load capacity required.
Single-sided configurations provide storage on one side of the uprights and can suit perimeter locations. Double-sided configurations provide storage on both sides where access is available. The layout should also allow sufficient space for your handling equipment to load and retrieve goods.
A capacity of up to 1,500 kg per arm does not mean every configuration carries the same load. The selected arms, uprights and overall system must be suitable for the goods and loading arrangement. Storeplan can help specify the configuration around your stock and operating requirements.
For warehouses that also store standard palletised goods, our industrial pallet racking systems can complement cantilever storage.
Galvanised Cantilever Warehouse Racking for Outdoor Storage
Hot-dip galvanised cantilever warehouse racking is suitable for outdoor storage applications where exposure to moisture and weather needs to be considered. The zinc coating provides corrosion protection, making this finish a practical option for timber yards, building suppliers and industrial storage areas.
Powder-coated systems are available for indoor use. When choosing a finish, consider the installation environment alongside the stock being stored and any specific exposure or operating conditions.
Explore our galvanised cantilever racking or speak with Storeplan about a suitable outdoor configuration.
Adjustable Storage for Changing Requirements
Cantilever arms can be repositioned to accommodate changes in stock height and storage requirements. Tool-free adjustments make adaptation straightforward, but any change must remain within the system’s specified configuration and load limits.
Runs can also be extended as your storage requirements grow, subject to available space and system suitability. Discuss future stock volumes and handling needs during planning so the layout can allow for expansion.
Cantilever Pallet Racking Specified Around Your Stock
Storeplan has provided industrial storage solutions since 1990. We can help configure cantilever pallet racking for your materials, available space and operating environment, including applications with unusual stock dimensions or specific ambient conditions.
ISO 9001 certification relates to the quality management processes supporting the supplied systems. The racking’s load capacity and suitability must be established separately through the specifications for the selected configuration.
To help us recommend a suitable system, provide your stock lengths and weights, required storage capacity, available floor space, handling equipment and whether the installation will be indoors or outdoors.

How Much Does Cantilever Racking Cost?
Cantilever racking costs vary depending on the system size, number of bays, load requirements, arm lengths and installation conditions. The following indicative ranges are intended to help with early project budgeting.
-
Small Installation$3,000–$7,000
Smaller single-sided configurations for lighter-duty applications and compact storage areas.
-
Medium Installation$7,000–$18,000
Multiple bays, additional storage levels or double-sided configurations.
-
Large / Heavy-Duty$18,000–$40,000+
Larger installations and custom-engineered systems with more demanding storage requirements.
What Influences the Cost?
Project costs can be affected by the number of bays, overall system height, arm length, required load ratings, single or double-sided layout, engineering, slab suitability, site access, freight, installation and optional accessories.
Cantilever Racking FAQs
Cantilever warehouse racking is a storage solution designed for irregular, bulky and elongated items, including timber, steel lengths, pipes and sheet materials. Its open-front design provides accessible storage, with adjustable arms to accommodate different stock dimensions and load requirements.
Our cantilever pallet racking can be configured around your storage requirements, with light and heavy-duty options offering capacities up to 1,500 kg per arm, depending on the selected configuration. Uprights can be used in single-sided or double-sided layouts, and runs can be extended subject to available space and system suitability. Powder-coated finishes are available for indoor use and hot-dip galvanised finishes for outdoor applications.
We can help you review the specifications and load ratings for your proposed configuration. ISO 9001 certification relates to quality management, while the racking’s load capacity and suitability are established separately through the system specifications. Our consultants can advise on configurations for special materials or operating conditions.
