Long timber steel pipes or plaster sheets can be tricky to store. Cantilever racking makes it simple. It is an open-front shelving system designed for bulky items. It is strong flexible and surprisingly easy to assemble.
What Makes This Racking Different?
Unlike normal shelving, cantilever does not have vertical beams in the way. Instead it uses upright columns and horizontal arms that stick out giving you a clear front-loading storage area. This makes forklifts or manual lifting much easier.
