Our solutions ensure maximum storage capacity, easy access, and better warehouse organisation – to help streamline your business operation.
What is cantilever racking?
Cantilever Racking is a specialised storage system designed to handle long, oversized, and heavy materials that may not fit within traditional pallet racking. Cantilever racks have:
● Vertical columns for support ● Horizontal arms extending outward to hold items ● A base to ensure stability
This structure eliminates front-facing obstructions, allowing for easy loading and retrieval of materials via forklifts or manual handling. Available in various heights and single-sided or double-sided designs, cantilever racking is commonly used in industrial settings where bulky storage is a must.
At Rackman, we offer two finishes for Perth Cantilever Racking: powder-coated and hot-dipped galvanised. The powder-coated finish (blue and orange) is primarily used in warehouses and workshops, while the hot-dipped galvanised finish is used to protect the racking against rust in outdoor applications.
