Storing timber, pipes, beams or sheet metal requires more than standard shelving. That’s why AJ Products UK offers cantilever racking designed to hold long, heavy items securely while keeping them easy to access. From industrial workshops to busy distribution hubs, our systems help teams stay organised, compliant and ready to move goods quickly and safely.
When you're dealing with long, heavyweight goods, structural integrity is key. Our heavy-duty cantilever racking is made from powder-coated sheet steel with reinforced columns and wide, horizontal arms that support significant loads without compromise. For enhanced control and stability, we recommend adding optional accessories like arm spacers—perfect for segmenting storage or preventing goods from slipping. These units are ideal for storing large metal bars, scaffolding or construction materials in warehouses and yards. You can build a tailored system using component parts or choose a complete package that suits your needs from day one. Many customers pair these racks with lifting trolleys to support safe handling between storage and work zones.
For storing plastic piping, wooden frames or lighter materials, our light-duty cantilever racking offers the same smart design in a more compact format. The sheet steel construction is finished with powder coating for durability, and perforated columns allow the arms to be adjusted in 50 mm intervals—making it easy to fine-tune your setup as stock levels change. Each unit comes with cross braces for added stability, and shelves can be added to the lowest level to support awkward or shorter stock. This makes them ideal for smaller workshops, mobile teams or job-specific stations where flexibility is key. For additional vertical storage, many customers also add shelving systems to manage boxed or non-linear items alongside racked materials.
Whether you need a single-sided wall unit or a freestanding rack with double access, our cantilever shelving systems offer scalable flexibility. We work with businesses to help build out racking that reflects their floorplan, stock types and handling requirements—making it easier to adapt layouts as operations evolve. Customers often integrate pallet trucks to speed up material transfers, especially in production zones and loading bays. For sites handling sheet goods as well as long stock, we also offer dedicated sheet racks that store flat materials vertically for improved access and safer handling.
