Cantilever Racking

Cantilever racks are designed for the safe and organised storage of long and heavy loads - ideal for timber or metal storage. Our cantilever rack systems are an effective and efficient alternative to conventional lighter weight storage solutions.

Manufactured at our purpose built factory in Worcester from standard structural steel sections, Wickens' cantilever racks are designed to suit a particular storage problem, using well established design criteria to provide bespoke racking solutions. This practice enables us to provide both large industrial storage systems and smaller orders on a cost effective basis. Our cantilever rack systems are finished in a range of standard colours or frequently galvanised for use in outdoor storage applications.

Wickens' racking solutions have carried in excess of 30 tonnes per upright. The robust design of steel cantilever racks delivers reliable storage solutions for heavy applications and arduous environments.

The flexibility of bolted adjustable cantilever arms, our most popular design, makes warehouse racking simpler as a variety of different sized products can be stored safely and securely.

The reliability of our deliveries and our excellent service, supported by continual capital investment and loyal workforce have ensured that we remain a leading manufacturer of storage systems in the UK.

Each system is designed specifically to meet your unique requirements.
