Cantilever racking systems: flexible storage for non-standard loads
Cantilever storage solutions engineered for long, bulky and oversized materials
What is pallet racking and why is it essential for warehouse operations
Modulblok pallet racking is a modular storage solution designed for high-capacity pallet handling, providing direct access to load units, efficient material handling and safe warehouse operations. Engineered with high-strength uprights, adjustable beams and optimised structural components, pallet racking systems make efficient use of available warehouse volume, maximising both floor space and vertical storage capacity. The system can accommodate standard and non-standard pallet formats and is compatible with the most widely used pallet handling equipment and warehouse operating environments.
Dimensional configurations and customisation
Modulblok pallet racking systems are engineered to meet specific operational requirements, offering a high degree of dimensional flexibility to accommodate different warehouse layouts, load characteristics and storage strategies:
- Available heights: from 2 metres up to 20 metres and beyond, depending on building constraints and vertical storage requirements
- Standard depths: from 400 mm to 1,400 mm, compatible with different pallet dimensions
- Bay lengths and beam spans: fully configurable, up to 4.5 metres, to optimise pallet positioning and load capacity requirements
This design flexibility enables more efficient use of available space while maximising overall storage capacity and warehouse performance.

Load capacity and structural performance
Modulblok pallet racking systems deliver high structural performance in full compliance with European standards for industrial storage systems.
Key load capacities include:
- Load capacity per pallet: up to 1,500 kg and beyond
- Load capacity per beam level: up to 4,500 kg
- Total load capacity per bay: from 9,000 kg up to 30,000 kg, depending on the structural configuration
Each installation is engineered through dedicated structural analysis, taking into account actual load conditions, environmental factors and operational requirements.

Structural components and mechanical safety
Modulblok pallet racking systems are engineered as complete structural solutions, where every component contributes to system stability, operational safety and long-term durability.
The structure consists of:
- Uprights: manufactured from high-strength steel profiles and equipped with bracing systems and base plates, engineered according to building height, load requirements and operating conditions.
- Beams: featuring high-security beam-to-upright connections and adjustable positioning, allowing storage levels to be configured according to different pallet dimensions and operational requirements.
These components are complemented by safety features designed to prevent accidental disengagement and ensure the long-term stability of the installation:
- Safety locking pins and anti-disengagement devices for beam connections
- Floor anchoring systems, engineered according to static and dynamic loads as well as operating conditions
- Provision for periodic inspections and planned structural maintenance, in accordance with European standards governing industrial racking systems
This engineering approach ensures a reliable, compliant and safe storage system, even in demanding warehouse environments characterised by high levels of operational intensity.
Decking and support options
Pallet racking systems can be equipped with different types of decking and load supports according to the characteristics of the stored goods:
- Wire mesh decking, with load capacities of up to 1,500 kg
- Galvanised steel slats, with load capacities of up to 1,000 kg/m²
- Steel decking panels, with load capacities of up to 1,000 kg
Safety accessories and optional components
A comprehensive range of accessories and safety devices is available to enhance the protection of both the storage structure and warehouse personnel:
- Fall protection systems
- L-shaped and U-shaped column protectors
- Impact protection barriers
- Rear mesh panels
- Row spacers for double-entry configurations
- Drum and container supports
- Anti-torsion bars
- Load dissipators
- Levelling shims
Key benefits of Modulblok pallet racking systems
