Cantilever racking is a type of steel shelving system specifically designed for long and oversized loads. It is capable of addressing all the challenges associated with storing goods that cannot be stored on pallets and their subsequent handling and management. Cantilever storage is used for special load units: pipes, boards, profiles, sheets, and beams. Literally, the term ‘cantilever’ means an overhanging beam, which serves as a shelf to accommodate the goods. The structure is made up of columns of varying height and cross-section, depending on the load capacity, placed side by side and connected with suitable crossbars. These columns are interlocked with specific shelves on which the load is subsequently placed. A safety system ensures the stability of the shelf, even in the event of accidental impact, which is a crucial feature in structured and busy environments like warehouses. Scaffsystem is one of the leading manufacturers of cantilever racking systems. With over a decade of experience in lightweight metal carpentry, we design systems to enhance warehouse performance and optimize the time and work processes of companies in every sector. In the field of warehouse logistics, choosing the most suitable industrial shelving means ensuring certain essential factors: With heavy or oversized items, it would be impossible to carry out goods storage operations using a traditional organised system. For this reason, the cantilever rack is the most suitable solution for managing storage situations where pallet racking would not suffice. Cantilever racking places the load horizontally on special supports called shelves or arms, greatly facilitating operations with the help of front-loading forklifts. Scaffsystem manufactures modular systems and self-supporting structures, created using metal shelving generally designed for the storage of bars, profiles, sheet metal, panels, wooden profiles and other materials.Cantilever Racking for Warehouse Management
