Cantilever Racking - Improve Your Warehouse Operation & Productivity

Posted by Susan A. Morris on September 20th, 2022

Cantilever racking is the most common type of pallet rack and is used by many warehouses in Singapore. The word “cantilever” refers to the support beams that are attached to the side walls of the racking system. These beams are anchored at one end and free standing at the other, allowing them to extend over your stock. This gives you more space for storing goods on top of your pallet rack, as well as underneath it.

This rack systems is often used to store large and heavy items like pallets, crates and boxes. The reason for this is because the cantilever rack system makes use of gravity to hold the load down. This means that you don’t have to worry about having to bolt the pallets or crates together, which would reduce their ability to be moved around easily.
