The cantilever principle: simple, yet thoroughly thought out by us
Everything you need to know at a glance
The cantilever racking is a storage systems for long and/or heavy loads. The main elements are vertical steel columns with horizontally inserted cantilever arms. The stored goods are placed on these arms. They are used for the storage of especially long objects such as pipes or beams (long goods).
They are available in either single-sided or double-sided versions. Single-sided cantilever racking is usually integrated along the walls of the warehouse or set up close to them. In the double-sided version, they allow access from both sides and maintain their stability through even weight distribution and a stable basic construction. Both can also be anchored in the ground.
In addition to the simple versions, there are also models with a roof, which offer the stored goods protection from the weather if they are used outdoors.
Today, cantilever racking made from hot-rolled steel profiles can be found in almost all industries:
- In the timber trade or building material trade for the storage of squared timber, boards, stones, pipes, and profiles,
- in the steel trade where sheet metal formats and heavy steel profiles have to be stored securely,
- in joinery and carpentry workshops as storage for heavy chipboards,
- but also at car recyclers,
- marinas,
- furniture and kitchen manufacturers,
- and many other sectors where it is important to store a lot on a small footprint.
There are specific solutions for every product and every industry. Depending on requirements, they differ in height, usable depth, load capacity, or profile thickness. This is why OHRA always produces heavy-duty racks according to the individual requirements and specific specifications of the customers.
Cantilever racking is an extremely strong storage system for storing long goods and heavy loads. This includes, for example, wooden panels, metal sheets, profiles, beams or steel elements, building materials or even end-of-life vehicles and all types of heavy loads.
We offer the cantilever principle in a variety of practical designs
Cantilever racks with roof
For outdoor use, cantilever racks with a roof are the right choice for your long goods that do not necessarily need to be stored in a hall. In the static calculation of the storage system, we take into account not only the load requirements but also the snow and wind loads of your region, and dimension the rack profiles and roof accordingly. We support you right from the start: from planning to roof covering. In addition, we assist you with the building permit – upon request with drawings and structural analysis.
One-sided cantilever racks
The single-sided cantilever rack is usually placed under a roof or against a wall. It is operated from only one side. The stable design allows a free-standing construction. If the cantilever rack is planned as single-sided, it can be closed at the back and sides for outdoor use – for example with trapezoidal sheet metal or wood.
Two-sided cantilever racks
The double- or two-sided cantilever rack is made from the same upright profile as the single-sided option. However, both sides of the rack are equipped with bases and cantilever arms. This provides you with double the storage capacity. This advantage makes the double-sided solution even more economical.
Cantilever racks for heavy loads
Heavy loads are a challenge for any rack. That is why the OHRA cantilever rack is made of hot-rolled steel profiles for all load-bearing elements. The product advantages of this racking system become even more evident as load requirements increase. With standard arm loads of up to 2,500 kg and upright loads of up to 10,000 kg, it easily handles even heavy loads.
Cantilever racks as mobile racks
In a mobile rack, the rack rows are directly connected without free aisles. Only when you want to access your stored items can you move the desired racks manually or electrically, thereby creating access. By using OHRA mobile racks, you can make optimal use of your limited storage space and efficiently organize your products. The space savings also provide a clear overview of your stored goods and different product groups, leading to time and resource savings.
Cantilever racks for long goods
Long goods racks are suitable for storing particularly long items. A long goods rack can be designed either as a vertical storage system or as a horizontal storage system. The key factors in choosing a system are the intended use and the available space in the warehouse. Cantilever racks are ideal for pipes, for example. Access is quick, and you have a clear overview of the different lengths and types. The vertical rack can also be placed in sales areas.
Further versions of cantilever racks
Further cantilever rack versions from OHRA offer customized solutions for unique storage needs, including special applications such as cantilever rack halls, mezzanines, and tile presentations. Discover our additional cantilever rack versions with a wide range of materials, stability, safety, and expandability.

Adamet
The metal wholesaler Adamet-Niemet replaced the previous storage concept of floor storage and low height racks to storage in cantilever racks from OHRA that are up to 8,570 millimetres high. The load capacity of the cantilever arms is 500 or 600 kilograms, up to 16 storage levels are possible with a rack height of 8,570 millimetres. This not only increased the storage capacity, but also accelerated the storage and retrieval processes and increased the efficiency of production. The flexible, height-adjustable cantilever arms of the OHRA racks also deflect upwards and sideways in the event of impacts. This protects the goods from damage.
Investzal
For the storage of coils weighing up to 5 tonnes, the Hungarian company Invesztál installed a 19.9m long pallet rack from OHRA. The heavy-duty rack was individually adapted to the dimensions of the coils stored on pallets. Compared to the previous storage - a mixture of floor storage and standard racking - access to the coils is easier, more reliable and faster with the new racking. In addition, damage to the - partly coloured and galvanised coils is minimised.
Albixon
ALBIXON, one of the leading manufacturers of swimming pools and pool enclosures in Europe, has expanded its storage capacities with a covered cantilever racking system from OHRA. Palletised aluminium profiles are stored here; the length of the pallets is 5 to 12 metres, the weight ranges from 500 to 1,200 kilograms. The new racking system not only offers more space, but also reduces costs: Unnecessary material movements are avoided, the efficiency of warehouse transports increases and the risk of damage to the stored goods decreases. Thanks to the weather protection, the costs for quality control are also reduced. Due to the good overview of the stored goods, stocktaking is also much easier to carry out.
Efficient storage solution for Marles
The leading timber house manufacturer Marles relies on cantilever racks from OHRA to make optimal use of its storage capacity. The robust racking systems enable space-saving and safe storage of timber materials. By flexibly adapting the racks, Marles was able to make its processes more efficient.
Technical details
The robust design of OHRA cantilever racks is based on solid, hot-rolled steel profiles for maximum load capacity and durability. The construction meets the highest requirements for safety and stability, even under heavy loads.
Surface treatment and corrosion protection
- Indoor use:
– Main components (uprights, cantilever arms, bases) are high-quality powder-coated
– Other components strip-galvanized according to DIN 10346 - Outdoor use:
– Hot-dip galvanization in an immersion bath according to DIN EN ISO 1461 for reliable weather protection
Anchoring
- Indoor use: with galvanized anchors or concrete screws
- Outdoor use: with stainless steel anchors for increased corrosion resistance
Cantilever arm product features:
- Hook-in, adjustment grid 100 : 100 mm
- Flexible hook-in and freely movable (e.g. type K60K+H), providing protection against damage to the cantilever arm and your goods
