Engineered Solutions
Made-to-Measure Cantilever Systems for Heavy & Long Materials
Eliminate front-post limitations to optimize storage density and forklift handling cycle times for variable-length items.
DEXION RACKING designs and manufactures heavy-duty, light-duty, and mobile cantilever systems engineered precisely to your operational loads and material geometries. By removing front vertical columns, cantilever racks offer a continuous storage plane, allowing unrestricted loading and unloading of timber packs, steel bars, structural tubes, extrusions, plastic pipes, and sheet materials.
- Single-sided configurations against building walls and double-sided freestanding central runs
- Adjustable cantilever arms with plug-in or bolted safety stop pins to prevent rollout
- Custom accessories including steel decking, guide rails for sideloaders, and outdoor canopy systems
Configurations
Comprehensive Cantilever Range Built for Demanding Operations
Select from standardized structural modular systems or bespoke engineered platforms matching your material handling fleet.
Heavy Duty 
Medium / Light Light & Medium Duty Cantilever
Cost-effective roll-formed solution for lighter long items, lightweight plastic extrusions, conduit, moulding, and manual picking bays with adjustable pitch heights.
High Density Mobile Cantilever
Cantilever columns mounted onto electronically driven carriages on embedded floor rails. Opens aisles on demand, multiplying storage volume by up to 200% on the same floor area.
Specialist TELEKANT Extensible Rack
Features extendable arms operated by crank or crane hoist. Allows direct vertical overhead crane picking for heavy bar stock in mechanical engineering and tooling facilities.
Vertical Storage A-Rack Vertical Storage
Designed for vertical and inclined storage of light mouldings, timber slats, aluminium trims, and extrusions. Prevents bending while enabling rapid manual order sorting.
Pigeon-Hole Rollrack Long Goods System
Provides a rigid honeycomb compartment matrix for organized, end-loaded storage of delicate profiles, pipes, rods, and copper tubing without surface damage.

Structural Heavy Duty Procurement FAQ
Cantilever Racking Questions from Global Buyers
Detailed engineering guidelines and operational considerations for purchasing managers and logistics facility engineers.
What load capacities can DEXION RACKING cantilever arms support?
Arm capacities range from 150 kg per arm for light-duty manual systems up to over 5,000 kg per arm for heavy-duty structural steel designs. All systems are custom-calculated based on material deflection limits, arm length, and load distribution in accordance with EN 1993 and FEM 10.2.09 standards.
Can cantilever racking be installed outdoors?
Yes. DEXION RACKING supplies hot-dip galvanized cantilever racking specifically engineered for outdoor environments, complete with integrated roof canopies, rain gutters, and wind load engineering calculations.
How does mobile cantilever racking increase storage space?
By mounting cantilever columns on motorized mobile bases running on in-floor rails, conventional aisles are eliminated. One electronically controlled aisle opens only when required, freeing up to 200% more storage capacity within the same physical warehouse footprint.
What handling equipment is compatible with cantilever racking?
Cantilever systems are fully accessible to counterbalance forklifts, multi-directional reach trucks, sideloaders, overhead bridge cranes, and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
