Direct access and handling of non-standard loads
The absence of front uprights provides unrestricted access along the entire storage level, facilitating the handling of long materials even in compact storage configurations.
Mobile cantilever racking systems
What is mobile cantilever racking?
Mobile cantilever racking is a high-density storage system designed for the handling of long, bulky and non-palletised loads. It combines the versatility of cantilever racking with a mobile base structure that reduces the number of operating aisles and maximises the use of available space. From a technical perspective, the system integrates a traditional cantilever structure—comprising vertical columns and cantilever arms—with motorised mobile bases running on rails. Materials are stored on horizontal cantilever arms, while the lateral movement of the racking allows only one working aisle to be opened at a time, optimising storage density and space utilisation.
Benefits
The integration of mobile bases introduces a high-density storage concept, significantly reducing the space required for operating aisles. This allows direct access to stored materials to be maintained while increasing overall warehouse capacity.
Maximum configuration flexibility
The adjustability of the cantilever arms and the availability of single-sided or double-sided configurations allow the system to adapt to different load types, even where dimensional variability is present.
Optimised use of space and storage length
The movement of the mobile bases reduces the number of aisles required, significantly increasing storage capacity within the same floor area.
Adaptability to loads of different weights and dimensions
The system is designed to accommodate materials with different characteristics, with load capacities engineered according to specific operational requirements.
Suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications
The system can be installed in both indoor and outdoor environments, with dedicated solutions designed to ensure protection and operational continuity.
