The upright and base
The load-bearing structure consists of steel uprights anchored to a stabilising base, engineered to ensure the safe and efficient transfer of loads to the warehouse floor.
Standard cantilever racking
What is cantilever racking?
Cantilever racking is a storage system specifically designed for long, bulky and non-palletised loads that cannot be efficiently stored using conventional pallet-based storage solutions. From a structural perspective, the system consists of vertical columns fitted with cantilever arms that provide direct support for the stored load. The absence of front uprights ensures unrestricted access along the entire storage level, facilitating the handling and storage of oversized materials. Cantilever racking is commonly used for the storage of metal tubes and profiles, bars and semi-finished products, panels and sheet materials, timber, and a wide range of construction materials.
Components & Accessories
Modulblok cantilever racking systems are engineered storage solutions in which every component is designed and dimensioned to ensure structural stability, operational safety and long-term reliability.
Cantilever arms
The storage levels are formed by cold-formed steel cantilever arms, engineered to support loads directly while efficiently distributing structural forces throughout the supporting framework.
Single-sided configuration
Cantilever racking systems can be configured in a single-sided arrangement for installation against walls, maximising storage capacity while making efficient use of available space.
Double-sided configuration
Cantilever racking systems can be configured in a double-sided arrangement for island installations, providing access from both sides and maximising storage capacity within the available footprint.
Accessories and customisation options
The system can be enhanced with a range of accessories, including load stops, decking panels, protective coverings and impact protection devices.
