Adjustable pallet racking

Applications: ambient and cold-room pallet racking - consumer goods; paper; timber; chemicals;
heavy components and parts; stillages and many other uses.

Cantilever racking
Applications: pipe and Section Racking Systems, Timber and Board Racking Systems

The load bearing arms in a cantilever system are supported at one end. This type of storage system
gives unrestricted horizontal access to the storage area.
Cantilever storage systems are appropriate for storing long items such as pipes steel rods, timber and
carpets. The products are suspended between the arms of the rack.

Care must be taken that enough horizontal arms are used to ensure that the product does not deflect
and become bent. If the load sags it will exert sideways pressure on the arms that could cause
damage to the storage rack.
