Built for Long, Heavy Loads

Southward’s heavy-duty cantilever system a bolted steel tower and base with arms that pin into place and adjust every 75mm. It’s built for the longer, heavier stock that outgrows a shelf bay or a Mini Cantilever. It can store furniture, steel bars, pipe and tubing, lumber and timber packs. Loads sit on open arms and load from the side, giving instant access to a single piece or a full load without disturbing the rest.

Columns run up to 9m tall with arm lengths at 1230mm long, so a bay can be sized to the load rather than the other way round. The system is modular add arms, uprights or bases as storage needs change – and can be configured single or double sided. It suits both forklift and crane loading. Diagonal, horizontal bracing, towers and bases are supplied as individual parts and bolted together on-site.

Bolted Frame, Pin-Fit Arms

Bolted tower and base

The tower bolts to the base on site; no welding required.

Modular expansion

Add arms, uprights or bases at any time as storage needs change.

Easy-release arm pins

Arms connect to the tower with pins and adjust every 75mm, so levels can be set to match the load.

Single- or double-sided

Configure as a single-sided bay against a wall, or double-sided for aisle storage.

Easy to assemble system

System is easy to assemble, so setup is largely a matter of bolting the tower to the base and fitting the arms.

Powder coated or hot dipped galvinsed.

Choose powder coating for indoor use, or hot dipped galvanised where the bay needs to stand up to weather.

Suited For Long, Heavy Loads

Steel bar, pipe and tubing

Long steel stock that needs open-sided access rather than an enclosed shelf bay.

Lumber and timber packs

Full packs or individual lengths, loaded and unloaded from the open side.

Furniture

Long or awkward furniture items stored between deliveries

Yards and outdoor storage

The hot dipped galvinised finish option suits bays that sit outside or take regular weather exposure.

Load Ratings and Site Safety

Configuration-dependent rating

Load capacity depends on the beam length, depth and number of levels chosen - confirm the rated capacity for your configuration with our team before you order.

Bolted tower-to-base construction

Tower and base are bolted together as standard, with cross and top bracing for a stable, braced bay.

Anchoring guidance

Fixing of the cantilever system to a stable concrete surface with concrete anchors is recommended.

Delivered, Built and Backed

System is easy to assemble – installation on site is largely bolting the tower to the base and fitting the arms. Full installation is available and quoted separately, and a free design consultation is available to help specify a bay for your load and space. NZ-wide delivery is available, with a pickup option and next-day shipping endeavoured (timing varies by location). Every Heavy Duty Cantilever unit is covered by a 5-year warranty against manufacturing defects and workmanship.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Heavy Duty Cantilever racking used for?
It's a heavy-duty cantilever system for long, heavy items that don't sit well on a conventional shelf or a Mini Cantilever bay - It can store furniture, steel bars, pipe, tubing, lumber and timber packs. Loads sit on open arms and load from the side.
Can it go outside?
Yes - choose the galvanised finish for a bay that sits outside or takes regular weather exposure. Powder coating is best kept to indoor use
What's the load capacity?
It depends on the configuration - beam length, depth and number of levels all affect the rated capacity. 1000kg per arm. Contact our team to confirm the rating for your specific setup before you order.
Is pricing available online?
Not currently - Heavy Duty Cantilever is a request-a-quote item. Contact our team for pricing on your configuration.
Can I make it double-sided, or expand it later?
Yes. Heavy Duty Cantilever is available single- or double-sided, and the system is modular — additional arms, uprights and bases can be added as your storage needs grow.
What's the difference between Heavy Duty Cantilever and Mini Cantilever?
Mini Cantilever is the compact option, rated to 500kg per arm on a 2.40m tower. Heavy Duty Cantilever is built for longer, heavier items, with customisable arm lengths from 600mm to 2500mm, column heights up to 9m, and a galvanised finish option for outdoor use.
Do I need a forklift to load it?
Heavy Duty Cantilever suits forklift or crane loading, depending on the weight and size of what you're storing - hand loading isn't the typical method at this scale.
