Cantilever
Racking

A robust open structure for storing long loads: lumber, pipes, steel profiles, panels.

The solution

Long loads
deserve their own system.

The cantilever system is made up of columns, bases, arms, and bracing. The absence of front uprights on the storage face simplifies access to long, bulky, or irregularly sized materials that don’t fit well on conventional racking.

Whether it’s lumber, tubes, pipes, metal profiles, panels, or bars, the design always starts from the actual load and how it will be handled. Agir Installation helps you plan the arms, spacing, stops, access, and single- or double-sided configurations.

Is this the right system?

Choosing based on
your inventory.

This system often fits well if…

  • Lumber, panels, moulding, and construction materials
  • Pipes, tubes, profiles, bars, and metal parts
  • Long or irregular loads that don’t palletize easily
  • Indoor storage or outdoor areas suited to the project

Keep in mind

Arms, bases, and bracing aren’t chosen by eye. Length, weight, load distribution, and material behavior must be studied before installation.

How it works

A clearer flow.
A better organized operation.

1

Prepare

The material is grouped according to its dimensions, weight, and handling method.

2

Place

The forklift or suitable equipment places the load on the arms configured for the project.

3

Retrieve

The open face makes it easy to access a single piece or a full load, depending on the layout chosen.

Configuration to plan for

ConfigurationSingle-sided against a wall or double-sided at the center of an area
Load unitsLong, heavy, bulky, or irregular materials
SafetyArms, stops, and accessories suited to material behavior
ScalabilityAdditional arms, sections, or compatible bracing can be added depending on the system

Operational benefits

+Open access with no front uprights
+Clear organization of long loads
+Adaptable to various lengths and formats
+Single- and double-sided configurations possible depending on layout
Frequently asked questions

Plan with
the right data.

Loads, dimensions, pallet types, handling equipment, flows, and building constraints are all part of every analysis. Let’s talk about your project before you choose.

What products go on cantilever racking?

The system is well suited to lumber, pipes, profiles, panels, bars, and other long or bulky loads. Compatibility depends on weight and how the load rests on the arms.

Why are some arms angled?

Suitable arms and stops can help retain materials prone to rolling. The solution depends on the product, its diameter, load distribution, and handling procedures.

Can cantilever racking be installed outdoors?

Some configurations are suitable, provided exposure, ground conditions, anchoring, material protection, and site requirements are assessed.
