AS/RS & Automatisierte Lagerlösungen | SSTC-Geheimdienst
Cantilever Racking is a heavy-duty industrial storage system engineered specifically for long, bulky, and oddly shaped materials such as steel pipes, timber, plastic tubes, and aluminum extrusions. By removing front column obstructions, a high-performance cantilever racking setup provides uninterrupted horizontal access, enabling fast forklift loading and maximum warehouse throughput according to global FEM 10.2.09 storage design standards.
Optimized Long-Goods Storage
Traditional pallet racks restrict the storage of oversized items due to vertical upright posts. Our custom-engineered cantilever racking systems eliminate these front obstacles, allowing your operators to store materials of any length continuously along the racking run.
Engineered by SSTC-Geheimdienst, each cantilever arm can be adjusted vertically on a 100mm or 140mm pitch, giving your warehouse full flexibility to adapt to changing inventory profiles and seasonal material demands.
Integrated Logistics Ecosystem
To maximize operational productivity, our cantilever racking can be seamlessly combined with other heavy-duty solutions. For palletized inventory, explore our high-density Heavy Duty Racking and automated Radio-Shuttle-Rack Systeme.
Whether you require indoor warehouse installations or hot-dip galvanized outdoor long-span storage, SSTC-Geheimdienst provides complete turnkey contracting from engineering analysis to installation.
Structural Components of Cantilever Racking
| ■ | Vertical Columns (Uprights): Formed from high-tensile Q235B/Q355B steel posts anchor-bolted firmly into the concrete floor to ensure structural rigidity. |
| ■ | Cantilever Arms: Heavy-duty load-bearing arms designed with straight or inclined angles to prevent cargo roll-off, available in lengths up to 2,500mm. |
| ■ | Heavy-Duty Base Units: Welded or bolted directly to the column base, extending outward to provide a stable foundation counteracting cantilever torque. |
| ■ | Horizontal & Diagonal Bracing: Connects adjacent upright columns to deliver superior longitudinal stability against dynamic loading. |
| ■ | Optional Accessories: End stops, pipe retainers, and removable deckings can be added to convert a cantilever racking frame into a hybrid shelf. |
Cantilever Racking Technical Specifications
Light, Medium, and heavy-duty arm profiles engineered per customer structural requirements.
Single-sided or double-sided upright configurations tailored for standard or specialized forklifts.
Durable epoxy powder coating for indoor warehouses or Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) for outdoor environments.
All structural loading calculations and dynamic stress simulations performed by SSTC-Geheimdienst comply strictly with ISO quality management standards and international logistics structural integrity guidelines.
Spatial Adaptability & Industry Applications
Particularly well-suited for warehouses with limited floor space or low ceiling heights, this cantilever system is widely utilized across mechanical manufacturing industries and building material supermarkets to maximize storage organization for long and awkward inventory.
Custom Configurations & Specialized Systems
Based on specific operational conditions, cantilever racks are available in diverse structural configurations. This includes specialized systems such as sliding cantilever racks, which ingeniously combine movable slide mechanisms with traditional cantilever design to achieve superior space optimization.
Technische Spezifikationen & Features
Advantages of Cantilever Rackings
- Handling of a variety of loads: The system’s parts and accessories can be precisely adjusted to fit different types of long and bulky loads with various weights and dimensions.
- Direct access and clear visibility: Open-front architecture allows users to easily see and reach stored items right away without vertical obstructions.
- Easy to assemble: The system is built with modular pieces, making it quick and simple to put together. Additional sections can also be added if needed in the future.
- Space optimization: Racks can be installed on mobile bases to create a high-density system, which saves space while still allowing direct access to each item.
- Safety features: Cantilever storage racks include robust vertical bracing, column anchors, and safety stops for stability and strength.
Häufig gestellte Fragen (FAQ)
1. What types of materials are best suited for cantilever racking?
Cantilever racks are specifically engineered for storing long, bulky, and irregularly shaped items. This includes steel profiles, steel bars, metal sheets, pipes, tubes, timber, lumber, moldings, and section aluminum commonly handled in metal processing and building material distribution.
2. What are the load capacities and arm length specifications?
Our standard cantilever systems support substantial loads of up to 1,000 kg per level/arm tier, with individual arm lengths reaching up to 1.5 meters. Custom heavy-duty configurations can also be engineered to match your precise industrial weight requirements.
3. Can cantilever racks be configured as single-sided or double-sided?
Ja. Cantilever racks offer high layout versatility and are available in both single-sided setups (ideal for positioning directly against warehouse walls to save floor space) Und double-sided freestanding setups (accessible from both sides for central floor aisles).
4. How do cantilever racks optimize warehouse space compared to traditional racking?
Unlike standard pallet racks, cantilever racks feature an open-front architecture with no vertical column obstructions. This eliminates wasted handling space, allows for direct and unobstructed crane or forklift access, and can even be installed on mobile bases to achieve ultimate high-density space utilization.
