Cantilever Rack

Quick contact here

This is the ideal rack model for long-sized products. Arms extending from the towers allow clear, unobstructed frontal access to items. Materials of varying lengths can be stored.

Advantages of cantilever racks

Wide range of goods: Different components and accessories make the system easy to adapt for many types of long, bulky goods with varying weights and sizes.
Direct access and easy visibility: The racks allow instant visual identification of stored goods as well as direct access to them.
Easy assembly: The system is made of modular elements, making assembly simple. Moreover, it can be adjusted for future needs by adding modules.
Space optimization: Racks can be installed on mobile bases to form mobile cantilever systems. This setup saves floor space while keeping direct access to each product.
Suitable for outdoor use: Various canopy options protect both goods and the structure from harsh weather at outdoor facilities.
Safety: The system includes elements such as uprights bracing and end stops, ensuring high stability and durability for the whole structure.

Detailed structure of cantilever racks

– Load-bearing columns: attached to the base. Height and load depend on customer needs.
– Connecting beams (horizontal and diagonal): provide system stability. The width and length of the beams are determined by the size of stored products and the system’s application.
– Load-bearing arms: available in various designs and capacities. Arms can be customized, straight or inclined. Arm lengths range from 600 – 2500 mm.
– Rack base: The base system anchors to the floor and supports the load-bearing column, keeping the rack upright and steady. Base size depends on arm dimensions.

Applications of the cantilever racking system

For companies storing pipes, metal bars, and other long, bulky items, cantilever racking creates flexible structures that fully adapt to store a wide variety of special-dimension goods. Therefore, cantilever racks are essential in many logistics and production centers.

configurations-single-sided-cantilever-racking.1.12_11zon

Single-sided cantilever racks

Racks are accessed from one side. This version is often installed against walls to optimize space.

configurations-double-sided-cantilever-racking.1.12_1

Double-sided cantilever racks

Rack modules allow storage on both sides of the structure. This type is usually used in aisles between rack blocks.

Mobile cantilever racks

Cantilever racks are installed on motorized mobile bases. This configuration increases storage capacity without expanding floor area. The bases move on rails embedded in the floor.

Components of a cantilever rack

The main components of Viet POS Rack cantilever systems are made from hot-rolled steel sections. This provides high load durability and impact resistance.

Columns

Columns are the vertical members to which the cantilever arms are attached.
They have slots for installing cantilever arms and points for attaching diagonal and bracing members.

Bases

Bases are horizontal members that stabilize the structure.
These horizontals provide excellent structural stability. They are bolted to the column via a fixing plate.

Cantilever arms

Arms are the horizontal members that carry stored materials.
These slightly inclined horizontals support the goods. They are bolted to the columns.

components-cantilever-racks-bracing.1.12 (1)_11zon

Braces and column cross-bracing

Braces and column cross-braces stiffen the cantilever rack.
They are vertical reinforcing elements connecting all columns, increasing rigidity and stability for the entire structure.

components-portal-ties-cantilever-racking.1.17_11zon

Portal ties (top ties)

These members make the cantilever system more stable.
They are horizontal ties connecting racks at the top, used where higher stability is required.

components-cantilever-system-lateral-guides-forklifts.1.13_11zon

Side guide rails for forklifts

Side guides control forklift movement within the cantilever system.
These rails are installed in the aisles to safely guide side-loading forklifts, the type commonly used with cantilever systems.

Specification signs

Signs display rack specifications.
They are placed in visible positions, such as at both ends of the structure.
