Double-sided cantilever racking
Maximise storage capacity with access from both sides of the aisle
For Irish companies looking to maximise the amount of stock they can store on a warehouse floor plan, double-sided cantilever racking systems are often the most efficient solution. In a single row of uprights, cantilever arms span both faces, effectively doubling the storage capacity in the same floor space. Forklift access to both sides of the racking occurs simultaneously from a single aisle position.
Where every square metre of covered storage costs money to construct, lease, and maintain in Ireland, such a system can represent considerable savings on floor space alone. From large-scale steel stockholders with a wide range of bar and section sizes to timber merchants and building materials suppliers, a well-designed double-sided cantilever storage system can greatly increase the number of products held in the same physical space.
Who should consider using cantilever racking with double-sided properties?
Space savings and efficient use of the area make double-sided cantilever racking one of the best solutions for your warehouse. These racks are mainly intended for metal and wood industries or construction. Storing long goods with a double-sided design is considered economically advantageous since you will be able to organise the storage of large volumes of materials with varying dimensions and lengths.
Benefits of using double-sided cantilever racks
We can confidently list out the following advantages of a double-sided design of cantilever racking, from our experience:
- Flexibility: our racking system is modular and may be adapted according to your needs. Different dimensions of the shelves allow using the space of your warehouse efficiently
- Security: the arms are fastened to the rack in order to provide secure and reliable support to your long goods; even if the load is unbalanced or the length differs significantly
- High capacity: due to loading double-sidedly, it is possible to increase the number of stored long goods and make efficient use of the space
- Easy access: the open structure of cantilever racks guarantees convenient access to the goods anytime
Double-sided cantilever racks in the OHRA quality
A double-sided cantilever rack uses the same stand profiles as a single-sided design, however, it allows having cantilever arms and legs installed on both sides of the rack. As for the other features, we can mention the following:
- 20 years warranty against rusting: as we trust the quality of our products, we can guarantee that they won't rust during the next 20 years
- Premium powder coating: instead of wet painting, we coat our racks with powder; thus, their surfaces become more protected from external factors
- The best materials used: hot-rolled steel profiles are used instead of sheet metal.
- Optional roof structures and side or rear cladding can be included in an outdoor installation where full weather protection is needed. This configuration is common for Irish timber merchants and building materials suppliers, who prefer the storage density of the double-sided system with the weather protection of an outdoor bay.
