Electric Counterbalance Forklifts
Smart Racking Solution for Irregular Sized Pallet Storage.
Cantilever Racking Overview.
Cantilever racking is the ideal storage system for long, bulky or irregularly shaped items that cannot be stored on standard pallet racking. Featuring strong vertical uprights and adjustable arms, cantilever racks create an open-fronted design that makes loading and unloading simple and safe.
From timber and steel to piping, boards and worktops, cantilever racking offers exceptional flexibility and strength. At Global Materials Handling, we supply both light-duty and heavy-duty configurations designed to suit your products, handling equipment and warehouse layout.

Key Features & Benefits.
Perfect for long or oversized loads: Store materials that are too long, heavy or awkward for conventional racking.
Open-fronted design for easy access: No front uprights mean effortless loading using forklifts, cranes or side-loaders.
Highly customisable and adjustable: Arm lengths, heights and capacities can be tailored to your stock requirements.
Indoor or outdoor installation: Galvanised options available for exposed environments.
Single or double-sided systems: Maximise space depending on your warehouse layout.
