PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Cantilever racking systems are engineered with horizontal arms mounted on vertical columns, purpose-built for the storage of long, bulky, or irregularly shaped goods that need to be stored safely and accessed quickly. Unlike standard pallet racking, cantilever systems have no front uprights — giving forklifts and warehouse staff unobstructed access at every level. CH Racking & Displays supplies and installs cantilever racking across Melbourne and Victoria, with stock available from our Dandenong South facility.
Ideal for storing timber, steel, pipes, sheet materials, carpet rolls, and building products, cantilever racking provides an efficient long item storage solution for industrial and warehouse environments. Available in both single-sided and double-sided configurations — single-sided sits against walls to preserve floor space; double-sided maximises storage per bay in open floor areas.
Built from heavy-duty steel, cantilever storage systems offer high load capacity, structural stability, and excellent space optimisation — a reliable choice for timber yards, steel merchants, building suppliers, plumbing wholesalers, and manufacturing operations.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions
What is cantilever racking used for?
Cantilever racking is designed to store long, bulky, or irregularly shaped goods that can't be accommodated on standard pallet racking. Common applications include timber planks, steel bars, pipes, conduit, sheet materials, carpet rolls, and furniture — widely used in timber yards, steel merchants, building supply warehouses, and manufacturing facilities.
Single-sided vs double-sided cantilever racking?
Single-sided cantilever racking has arms on one side only and is positioned against a wall to maximise floor space. Double-sided systems have arms on both sides of the central column and are freestanding in open floor areas — effectively doubling storage capacity per bay. CH Racking supplies both.
What is heavy-duty cantilever racking?
Heavy-duty cantilever racking is engineered for industrial applications where large, heavy materials — such as steel beams, timber packs, or construction materials — are stored and accessed by forklifts. Arms are typically rated from 500kg to 1,000kg+ per arm depending on configuration.
What is a load retaining pin on cantilever racking?
A removable load retaining pin is fitted to cantilever arms to secure stored goods and prevent items from rolling or sliding off during storage. The pin is removable, making it easy to load and unload long goods such as pipes, timber, or conduit using forklifts or manual handling.
How long does cantilever racking installation take?
Installation timeframes depend on the size and complexity of your system, but most cantilever racking projects are completed within 1–3 days once arms and columns arrive on site. Our Dandenong South-based team can provide a more accurate timeline after assessing your site and load requirements.
How much does cantilever racking cost?
Cantilever racking prices vary based on arm length, column height, load capacity, and quantity. Light-duty systems are more cost-effective for manual handling; heavy-duty systems involve greater investment due to steel grade and engineering. CH Racking provides obligation-free quotes tailored to your requirements.
