At OHRA we believe that cantilever racking is the ideal storage system for our timber trade customers. We know this because we invented and perfected height-adjustable cantilever arms that are the standard for all carpentry storage.
OHRA cantilever racking gives you maximum timber storage capacity on a small footprint thanks to the sturdy but slim hot-rolled steel profile construction.
All our racking is made to order to fit your timber warehouse and precise product storage requirements.
Cantilever racks
If you need a storage system for long, heavy or bulky composite panels, such as chipboards, sawn timber packages or solid wood, an OHRA cantilever racking system should be your first choice.
The cantilever racking column, bases and arms are constructed from robust, hot-rolled steel profiles to allow for the safe storage of your goods. Our cantilever arm racks feature a patented boltless slot-in assembly that ensures arms can be repositioned in seconds. They have a 20-degree incline and a load-bearing capacity of up to 800kg per arm, making it easy to store long materials gathered by forklift or crane with no impact damage. OHRA cantilever racking can be placed inside or outside.
OHRA cantilever racking advantages:
- Racking uprights and cantilever arms made of solid, hot-rolled IPE steel sections
- Robust, hooked-in inclined arms avoid damage to the racking and more importantly your stock
- Rack columns punched every 100mm on both sides
- We only use solid profiles - so no hidden cavities where rusting can start
- Can be fitted with roof, rear wall and gutter for external use
- High-quality powder coating
- Hot-dip galvanised design for outdoor storage
- All cantilever racking custom manufactured to match the stored goods and be delivered and assembled on request
Pallet racks
Our pallet racks are constructed with durability in mind. They are made from hot-rolled steel profiles instead of thin sheet metal, ensuring they are efficient even when bearing heavy loads, and are safe enough to be used in the warehouse or customer-facing areas.
At the same time, pallet racking is an economical option because of the larger bay widths. This means they require fewer components than conventional rack systems with a lower load capacity.
OHRA pallet racking advantages:
- The low-cost, flexible storage solution
- Max bay load: 32,000kg
- Max beam load: 5,100kg
- Standard beam width up to 4,500mm
- Available with roof, wall or as complete rack clad building

Vertical racks
For upright storage of chipboard panels directly into the cutting area, there is no better alternative than our robust vertical rack system. We can design vertical racks of different sizes for use directly in your timber warehouse or showroom, and with different designs, colours and dimensions.
For easy entry and exit of the products, high-quality roller conveyors are mounted in front of each rack stack. Racks can be subdivided by separating brackets, or optional separating arms for fast and direct access to the product.
Automated racking storage system
An automated racking system - either with partial or fully automated loading and unloading - gives you the ultimate in storage optimisation: speed, dynamics, safety, energy and cost savings.
Depending on your requirements, whole packages or single panels can be taken and transported to the transfer station, using the 'goods-to-man' principle.
OHRA automated racking advantages:
- Highest possible handling turnover for picking orders
- Choose from manual or fully automatic control, and change at any time
- Storage and retrieval vehicle can serve several lanes using automatic cornering technique
- Interface with customer ERP software via a module
- Reduced investment costs and optimal price-performance ratio

Leube
LEUBE Zelte und Hallen, a company specialising in the rental, hire and sale of tents and marquees, have equipped its new materials warehouse with OHRA cantilever racking. To date, the material has been stored in a block storage facility using the chaotic system. On the other hand, the new hall offers much more effective utilisation of the storage space with cantilever racking from OHRA. The order picking process is also much quicker. This is due to the clear storage system with fixed storage locations. Mesh shelves on the cantilever arms enable the flexible storage of a wide variety of items and storage aids.
Städtische Bühnen Frankfurt
The Städtische Bühnen Frankfurt theatre company has replaced the mobile coat racks previously used to store repertoire costumes with a shelving solution from OHRA. It consists of nine pallet racks, each around eight metres long, with clothes rails mounted on their supports, which are 3.9 metres long. Each shelf can be individually adjusted in height independently of the other shelves. With a total height of 2.88 metres, the costumes can now be stored hanging on two levels. This corresponds to a 50 per cent increase in storage capacity in the same storage area.
Derrey
The building materials trading group Derrey has equipped its new subsidiary “Gedibois Derrey” in Metz with OHRA cantilever racks. Thanks to customised special solutions, the racks adapt exactly to the product range and the structural conditions. The solution also includes asymmetrical racks: These are double-sided racks in which the cantilevers on the left and right sides differ in load-bearing capacity and length. Thus, many different types of timber and panels can be stored efficiently and in a space-saving manner. Some of the racks are located in an open hall, so that the first uprights of a row of racks could still be exposed to the weather. For this reason, OHRA has hot-dip galvanised the front uprights of the racks, while the remaining components have been powder-coated at a lower cost.
Farkas-Fa
The Slovenian manufacturer of prefabricated timber houses Marles has installed around 442 metres of cantilever racking from OHRA in the outdoor area. This enables the company to reliably supply its production with construction timber. Compared to the previous storage on concrete blocks, the company was able to significantly increase its storage capacity. The company premises in the Bacher Mountains posed special challenges: Floor gradients of up to three per cent, large amounts of snow and strong winds had to be taken into account when planning the racking system. Nevertheless, the racks were realised in just three months.
