2. What is it?

3. A cantilever storage rack system is a self-standing rack system with horizontal arms extending out from a single vertical column.

4. Due to the absence of any vertical obstruction, these racks create an opportunity for greater horizontal storage space.

5. It is an extremely versatile form of storage for long and awkward items such as pipes, steel & timber.

6. These systems are available in light and heavy duty variants and offers more flexibility to suit individual applications.

7. About the components

8. The cantilever racking system is professionally planned and can be easily customized due to its uniquely designed components : Bases Columns Arms Bracing

9. Bases

10. The base of the cantilever racking system is anchored to the floor and provides the required support to the columns. The size of the base of a cantilever unit mainly depends on the size of the arms and the load capacity of the rack.

11. Columns

12. These are the vertical towers that are mounted on the base of the cantilever to provide support to the arms attached to them. The columns can vary in their dimensions especially height, as per the required load and capacity of the goods to be stored.

13. Arms

14. The cantilever arms are the bars on which the products are stored in the rack system. Different styles of arms like straight or inclined are available which helps easy customization of the racking system for each application.

15. Bracing

16. The horizontal and diagonal bracing adds sufficient stabilization to the cantilever rack system. The length and width of the braces vary according to the size of the products to be stored and the design of the installation.

17. Benefits of using it

18. The cantilever racks are preferred over the other rack systems because it not only offers superior storage, but also comes with the following benefits:

19. It can be well-customized to fit as per the warehouse and provide optimum use of the floor space and volume. Efficient use of space

20. The cantilever system, long and bulky goods can be clearly and efficiently placed on the racks which allow easy and quick access to all the items. Visible & organized storage

21. The racks can be configured for either single or double sided making the rack usable from both sides. Use of both sides

22. Low cost of installation The relatively low setup costs make the cantilever rack system one of the most preferred cost-effective solutions.

23. Flexible applications Such storage systems are highly flexible, easy to expand and ideal for storing a wide range of lightweight and bulky items.

24. This system can be easily and rapidly assembled and refitted as it depends on very less number of components. Easy construction
