Unrestricted Open-Front Access
Eliminating front vertical columns allows uninterrupted linear access, speeding up forklift retrieval cycles and eliminating handling damage to long stock.
Engineered Storage Solutions
High-Capacity Storage for Long, Bulky & Irregular Materials
Standard pallet racks impose rigid bay-width limits due to front columns, creating severe spatial and safety challenges for unconventional inventory. GENEX Cantilever Racking systems completely eliminate front vertical uprights, delivering uninterrupted horizontal storage levels for safe mechanical handling.
Whether storing heavy steel pipes, industrial lumber, aluminum profiles, or structural beams across UAE manufacturing yards, fabrication workshops, and logistics hubs, our cantilever systems are custom-engineered for exact load capacities, arm reach, and building clear heights.
Zero Front Columns Provides continuous horizontal storage bays, preventing handling interference and product deflection damage.
Technical Advantages
Key Engineering Features of GENEX Cantilever Racks
Manufactured using certified high-tensile structural steel, our cantilever systems offer long-term stability, impact resilience, and versatile configurations.
Adjustable Arm Pitches
Load-bearing arms connect securely to heavy columns via heavy-duty pins or bolted brackets, permitting vertical level repositioning in 75 mm or 100 mm increments.
Single & Double-Sided Configurations
Single-sided runs place flush against warehouse walls, while double-sided upright columns maximize central aisle density with symmetrical balance.
High-Capacity Structural Steel
Available in roll-formed profiles for medium loads and hot-rolled I-beam structural sections for extreme industrial loads exceeding 3,000 kg per arm.
Safety Retention Accessories
Equipped with removable vertical end stops, safety lip retention pins, wire mesh decks, or steel grating to securely hold coiled or loose stock.
Modular & Expandable
Standardized cross-bracing and modular base designs enable effortless system lengthening, height extensions, or complete layout reconfigurations as your facility grows.
Storage Applications
Engineered to Handle Demanding Long-Load Materials
Cantilever structures are the industry standard for commodities that cannot be safely managed on conventional pallets.
Steel Pipes & Tubing
Heavy tubular stock, oil & gas conduits, and structural hollow sections stored without risk of rolling or bending.
Timber & Lumber Packs
Plywood sheets, MDF panels, framing lumber, and architectural timber bundles preserved flat and accessible.
Aluminium & Plastic Profiles
Extruded architectural sections, window frames, and long lightweight PVC conduits organized by profile type.
Building & Sheet Materials
Drywall boards, steel sheet bundles, insulation packs, and bulky construction goods held clear off warehouse slabs.
Furniture & Oversized Goods
Assembled frames, long commercial cabinetry, sofas, and worktop slabs that exceed standard pallet rack dimensions.
Rebar & Structural Steel
High-density storage for reinforcing bars, angle irons, I-beams, and heavy engineering metal stock.

Frequently Asked Questions
Cantilever Racking Technical Inquiries
What are the main advantages of cantilever racking over pallet racks?
Cantilever racking eliminates the vertical front columns present in standard pallet racking. This creates an uninterrupted horizontal storage bay, enabling forklifts and cranes to rapidly place and retrieve long, awkward, or continuous items such as piping, structural steel, and lumber bundles without column interference.
What is the difference between single-sided and double-sided cantilever systems?
Single-sided cantilever racks have arms on one face only and are installed against perimeter warehouse walls. Double-sided racks feature a central vertical column with load arms extending from both sides, designed for central warehouse aisles to provide maximum storage capacity and optimal structural counter-balance.
How is cantilever load capacity calculated for long materials?
Capacity is calculated using the uniformly distributed load (UDL) per arm multiplied by the number of arms supporting the specific product length, taking into account the material's rigidity to prevent sagging between arms. Arm ratings typically range from 200 kg for light applications up to 3,500+ kg per arm for heavy industrial steel.
Can cantilever racks be customized with roof canopies for outdoor yards?
Yes. GENEX supplies outdoor cantilever rack systems equipped with engineered canopy roof frames and gutters to protect materials from direct Gulf sunlight and precipitation. Outdoor configurations are finished in heavy-duty hot-dip galvanization to resist atmospheric weathering and coastal humidity.
