Cantilever racks are also known as support racks, long racks are a popular solution that allows for optimal use of free warehouse space. I Their simple, solid structure and modular design make them a great choice for storing long, heavy and unusual items.
Properly selected, they will also work well in other applications.
How are cantilever racks constructed?
Both the base and the column of the rack are made of durable steel (HEA or IPE) I-beams. These elements are connected with screws or welds, while the beams on which the goods rest are screwed or secured with locks, and can optionally be terminated with removable stops. Additionally, vertical bracing is used to increase the stiffness of the frame structure.
The use of cantilever racks
The simple, solid construction means that cantilever shelves can be found in a huge number of variations and varieties. They are most often used in warehouses, but after galvanizing they can also be used outdoors and can also be roofed. Going further, you can create a self-supporting structure based on the shelves - in this case, the columns serve as load-bearing elements of the warehouse.
Long racks were designed to store long, heavy goods and often create the dominant space in the hall, but they can also be successfully used on a smaller scale. They allow for optimal use of space and easy access to goods without having to fight through them. An individual approach to the client guarantees the selection of the appropriate system adapted to the product and the room.
Using racks for logs
Typically, racking systems are adapted to be operated by a crane or forklifts, which is crucial when loading in the case of massive, unusually shaped items. Another way is to use shelves to create mezzanine, which will allow employees direct access to all levels. This design will work perfectly in a high room where smaller goods are stored.
Cantilever racks – advantages
- Full use of the volume of the yard or warehouse - no more air storage!
- Easy access to goods, which translates into quick service and inventory control.
- Safe, hassle-free storage of long and heavy products.
- Possibility of fully adapting the storage system to the customer's needs and capabilities.
- The design of cantilever racks allows other structures, such as roofs, covers or mezzanines, to be supported on them.
- You can easily reorganize the brackets yourself, adapting the shelf to changing goods.
- Standardization allows for expansion or modifications - converting a single shelf into a double one, adding additional brackets or even installing a mezzanine.
- Can be operated manually, by crane or forklift.

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
more about cantilever racks
We use cantilever racks to store oversized and long elements, such as profiles, flat bars, pipes, bars, beams, sheets.
The structure is made of columns, footings, transoms, braces, arms and connectors.
The columns are made of an IPE I-beam, and the arms are made of an IPE profile or I-beam, depending on the load calculations.
Yes, the rack poles have perforations every 100mm, which allows you to freely move the arms up or down.
The longest arm that can be produced is up to 2500 mm.
We adjust the length of the arms to the dimensions of the material that will be stored on them.
The minimum distance between the suspended arms is 200 mm.
Remember to also maintain the height between levels for the work needed to place and remove material from the rack arms.
We adapt the type of shelf to the material that we will store on the shelf.
If the goods to be stored are pallets, a pallet rack will work best, but if they are long elements, i.e. profiles, flat bars, pipes, etc., a rack for long beams, i.e. a cantilever rack, will be the best choice.
The design of such a shelf allows long materials to be stored, placed freely on the arms and removed by the trolley operator.
The specificity of this type of rack is that it can be easily adjusted to the required length of the stored material by using appropriate spacing between the columns.
The entire shelf can be adapted to the individual needs of the customer, the only limitation is space.
We use painted shelves inside the warehouse and hot-dip galvanized ones outside, because the galvanized coating is more resistant to external conditions, such as snow and rain.
As additional protection, you can use pins - which in the form of a tube are mounted at the end of the arms - we place them in a specially prepared hole, they protect the round elements from rolling off the bracket arms.
