Cantilever shelving is a versatile racking system we sell to Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane and Perth businesses.
What is cantilever racking exactly? It’s a type of warehouse racking with arms instead of shelves that support long, heavy items horizontally, including pipes, planks and rods.
There are different types of cantilever racking systems with various materials, sizes and arm configurations to choose from.
What is cantilever racking used for?
Cantilever racking systems are popular in industrial and construction warehouses that need to store a large amount of building equipment off the ground. Cantilever racking makes these awkward items easily accessible.
There are three different types of cantilever racking:
C200 cantilever racking for hand-loaded materials
If you or your customers are storing lighter materials and mostly loading them by hand, take a look at our C200 cantilever racking. The arms are designed to hold between 260kg and 450kg, depending on the arm’s length. C200 racks suit sheet metal, pipe and small quantities of board and other construction materials.
C305 cantilever racking for tubing and light-to-medium woods
C305 cantilever racking is ideal for storing bulk steel and PVC pipes, plywood, chipboard, timber, plasterboard, carpet rolls and many more building and industrial materials These structures have a solid base to counter-balance weight and secure bracing with an arm capacity of up to 1,000kg UDL (Uniformly Distributed Load) and column capacity between 2,900kgto 4,948kg UDL.
Cantilever racking for machine-loaded metals and woods
If you’re looking for something above 5,000kg UDL per upright, you may need to consider a C350 or C410 system which can be quoted and imported on request. C350 cantilever racking is designed for materials like metal and wood that can’t be moved by hand and require equipment like forklifts. With a 350mm base and upright, the column capacity can take 4,800kg to 7,800kg. If you’re after more than five levels of storage or most of the arm capacity, C350 is the way to go.

Benefits of cantilever racking systems
Flexible and easily customisable
The big selling point of cantilever racking is versatility. It stores different shapes and sizes and is available in light-duty, medium-duty and heavy-duty varieties. It’s also highly adaptable. The height, arm length and loading capacity can all be altered.
Maximises space in warehouses and workshops
If your customers work with long, awkward items, they need a space other than the floor to store them. Cantilever racking systems maximise space by storing pipes, wood, beams and rods off the floor.
Available in different materials for outside/indoor locations
Cantilever racking is available in blue and orange powder-coated finishes for indoor storage or the hot-dipped galvanised finish for outdoor locations. The HDG finish is ideal for outdoor warehouse yards and construction sites, as it reliably holds up against water and prevents rust.
Strong, safe, secure
Cantilever racks need to be strong, supportive and compliant with the FEM 10.2.09. FEM is the code that specifies the structural design requirements for cantilever racking. Our storage systems are all certified for Australian workplaces.
We also believe all racking should be wind tested. We put our racking through a detailed wind loading calculator so we can accurately provide maximum arm and column capacities based on the wind and/or earthquake level of your region.
