Heavy Duty Cantilever Storage for Long, Heavy Loads
A bolted cantilever system built for the heaviest bench-and-beyond loads – furniture, steel bars, pipe, tubing, lumber and timber packs. Arms pin onto the tower and adjust every 75mm, with arm lengths at 1230mm and columns up to 9m tall. Single or double sided, forklift or crane loaded, and fully modular as your storage needs grow
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.
Technical Specs
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.
