Welcome to Spider – your expert provider of cantilever racking systems designed to optimize storage for long, bulky, and irregularly shaped materials. Our cantilever racks are engineered to maximize efficiency and flexibility in your warehouse or storage facility.

What is Cantilever Racking?

Cantilever racking is a specialized storage solution ideal for materials of varying lengths and sizes. Unlike traditional pallet racking systems, cantilever racks feature an open design without vertical obstructions, making them perfect for handling long, heavy, or irregularly shaped items such as pipes, lumber, and metal sheets.

Key Components of Cantilever Racking Systems

• Bases

• • Function: Anchor the racking system securely to the floor and ensure stability. Bases connect to the uprights and provide essential support.
  • Design: Crafted from heavy-duty steel for maximum durability and load-bearing capacity.

• Upright Columns

• • Function: Serve as the vertical support structures, connecting to the bases and supporting the horizontal arms.
  • Features: Equipped with adjustable holes or slots for flexible arm placement, accommodating various storage needs.

• Arms

• • Function: Extend horizontally from the upright columns to provide a surface for storing materials.
  • Adjustability: Arms can be repositioned in height and length to suit different product dimensions and weights.

• Braces

• • Function: Stabilize the upright columns with horizontal and diagonal support, enhancing overall stability and safety.
  • Types: Includes diagonal braces for lateral support and horizontal braces for added stability.

• Decking (Optional)

• • Function: Provides a solid shelf level for additional support of smaller or irregularly shaped items.
  • Applications: Ideal for items like furniture or other products requiring a stable, flat surface.

Types of Cantilever Racking Systems

• Roll-Formed Cantilever Racks

• • Description: Made from roll-formed steel, offering a cost-effective solution for light to medium-duty applications.
  • Advantages: Easily adjustable and suitable for various storage needs, providing flexibility and value.

• Structural Cantilever Racks

• • Description: Constructed from structural steel for heavy-duty applications, designed for high capacity and durability.
  • Advantages: Built to withstand demanding environments, perfect for storing heavy and oversized materials.

Benefits of Cantilever Racking Systems

• Space Efficiency

• • Vertical Utilization: Maximizes storage capacity by using vertical space, reducing the need for wide aisles.
  • Open Design: Allows for efficient storage of long and bulky items without vertical obstructions.

• Versatility

• • Customizable Storage: Adjustable arms and shelves accommodate a wide range of products, from small cartons to large beams.
  • Adaptability: Suitable for various industries, including construction, manufacturing, and retail.

• Accessibility

• • Ease of Use: Facilitates quick and easy loading and unloading, enhancing operational efficiency.
  • Improved Visibility: Better visibility of stored items for efficient inventory management.

• Safety and Stability

• • Enhanced Stability: Braces and robust construction provide stability, reducing the risk of accidents and damage.
  • Seismic Compliance: Designed to meet seismic requirements for safety in earthquake-prone areas.

• Cost-Effectiveness

• • Economic Options: Roll-formed racks offer an affordable solution for lighter-duty needs, while structural racks provide durability for heavy-duty applications.

Applications and Considerations for Cantilever Racking Systems

• Industrial and Warehouse Settings: Ideal for storing long materials like lumber, pipes, and metal rods.
• Retail and Distribution: Efficiently stores a variety of products, including large items and stock.
• Environmental and Structural Considerations: Weather-resistant coatings for harsh climates and compliance with local seismic codes.
