Mini Cantilever
A compact, bolted cantilever system for hand- or machine-loading long, irregular and mixed loads — tubes, boards, steel profiles and more. Arms pin into the tower and adjust every 75mm, so you can fit the bay to what you’re storing. Single- or double-sided, fully modular, and expandable as your storage needs grow.
Built for Long, Irregular and Mixed Loads
Mini Cantilever is Southward’s compact cantilever system — a bolted steel tower and base with arms that pin into place and adjust every 75mm. It’s built for exactly the kind of stock that doesn’t sit flat on a shelf: metal and plastic tubes, timber boards, and hot-rolled steel profiles all load and unload from the open side, with no upright frame in the way.
The system is modular, so a single bay can grow — add arms, uprights or bases as your storage needs change — and it can be configured single- or double-sided depending on where it sits. It suits both hand loading and forklift loading, and the frame arrives fully assembled, so there’s no build required on-site beyond bolting the tower to the base.
Technical Specs
Bolted Frame, Pin-Fit Arms
Bolted tower and base
The tower bolts to the base on site; no welding required.
Easy-release arm pins
Arms connect to the tower with pins and adjust every 75mm, so levels can be set to match what you're storing.
Modular expansion
Add arms, uprights or bases at any time as storage needs change
Single- or double-sided
Configure as a single-sided bay against a wall, or double-sided for aisle storage.
Fully assembled frames
System is easy to assemble, so setup is largely a matter of bolting the tower to the base and fitting the arms.
Suited For Long, Irregular and Mixed Loads
Tubes and pipe
Metal and plastic tubes that don't sit flat on a conventional shelf.
Timber and boards
Wooden boards and sheet stock, loaded and unloaded from the open side.
Steel profiles
Hot-rolled steel profiles and bar stock.
General workshop and stockroom storage
Any long, irregular or mixed load that needs open-sided access rather than an enclosed shelf bay.
Load Ratings and Site Safety
Rated arm capacity
Rated to 500kg per arm at 600mm arm length.
Anchoring guidance
Fixing of the cantilever system to a stable concrete surface with concrete anchors is recommended.
Bolted tower-to-base construction
