Cantilever racking Robust space-saving storage

Request for proposal  Consultation meeting

Optimal racking for long goods

Cantilever racking systems are the ideal load-bearing storage systems for goods such as timber, metal sheets, beams or other building materials. But their strength makes them also suitable for heavier loads such as scrap vehicles.

OHRA cantilever racking uses solid steel sections for a slimmer construction of all load-bearing elements. This means higher storage capacity across a smaller floor space compared to other standard racking systems.

Flexible and bespoke

We design and build our cantilever racks individually according to customer specifications. This means you get the ideal height, usable depth, load-bearing capacity and section thickness required for your needs. From small racks for light loads to complete rack clad buildings, our comprehensive service ensures we take care of everything, including design and measurement and racking assembly.

 

Built to last

Our cantilever racks are manufactured from robust, full-core hot-rolled steel profiles. This guarantees high loading capacity, operational safety and a long lifespan. All load-bearing columns, bases and arms are powder coated RAL 5015 as standard (other standard RAL colours are available), and outdoor racks are hot-dip galvanised for protection against outdoor elements.

OHRA cantilever racking advantages

  • Racking uprights and cantilever arms made of solid, hot-rolled IPE steel sections
  • Clipped-in, height-adjustable arms
  • High-quality powder coating for indoor storage
  • Hot-dip galvanised design for outdoor storage
  • Outdoor applications can include roof, back wall and rain gutter

Heavy duty cantilever racking

Heavy loads are a challenge, but not for OHRA cantilever racking. The strength and durability of our racking system makes light of even the heaviest loads.

With standard arm loads of up to 2,500 kg and support loads of up to more than 10,000 kg our cantilever racks can handle slabs, metal sheets, wood packages, coils or heavy long boards. Our experts will develop an ideal solution for your storage demands - indoor or outdoor - and our racking complies with all applicable standards.

OHRA racking - complex storage made simple and safe

We solve complex storage situations by using a comprehensive range of accessories or by creating bespoke solutions, such as guiding rails. For example, with an OHRA cantilever arm rack, products can be directly accessed, stored and retrieved either by crane, forklift truck, VNA truck or stacker crane. You can rely on our racks to remain permanently stable, ensuring safety for your staff and customers.

Light duty cantilever racking

In some trades, such as the aluminium or plastics trade, loads moved and stored are very light. However, as with heavy duty racking, it's essential to find smart solutions that make the best use of available space. Our light duty cantilever racks are built to offer the ideal technical solution based on your requirements and specifications.

Manually-operated cantilever racking

Hand-operated rack found in carpentry shops and also in the drywall construction and metal processing industries are ideal for picking individual plates or sections, for keeping racks neat and tidy, and for supporting the production process. We can build manually-operated cantilever racks configured to your specific rack height, depth and arm loads. The racking is delivered with all mounting and fixing elements, as well as floor anchors. We can also equip racks with a trolley base, casters or shelves for total mobility.

Technical details

State-of-the-art arm characteristics:

OHRA cantilever arms feature a patented boltless slot-in assembly that ensures arms can be repositioned in a second. A unique arm-to-upright connection allows the arm to move freely in the event of impact, avoiding damage to arms, uprights and stored materials.

Key features:

  • High-grade forged steel column connectors guarantee a high load-bearing capacity
  • The boltless horizontal column insertion avoids contact with adjacent storage levels when adjusting arm heights, reducing remodelling and assembly downtime by up to 100%. 
  • OHRA arm design ensures 100% arm depth usage. No bolt heads means no damage to goods in the event of impact.
  • OHRA arms can be incline-adjusted with a levelling bolt, particularly useful for longer arm lengths.
  • Integrated safely fender/head-guards, for accomodating roll-off stops, are a standard feature for all arms
  • Standard pitch of 100 mm, 50 mm pitch option also available

Column and base features:

OHRA base legs are supplied with tyre protection as standard (Racking System K60), and columns are punched double-sided as standard.
All columns are bolted to the base, meaning:

a)  Lower transport costs
b)  Damaged bases can be replaced without complete frame replacement, and
c)  Retro conversion from single to double entry possible.

Our racking systems conform to DIN EN 1090, EUROCODE, and FEM 10.2.02.

Thyssen

A 17-year-old mobile racking system from thyssenkrupp Materials Hungary was brought back up to the current state of the art through retrofitting. OHRA replaced worn mechanical parts and modernised the entire electrical engineering. The modernisation ensures that the plant can continue to operate with a high level of availability. The control concept and safety system are now state of the art again - so the modernised plant meets the same requirements as a new one, but required only the fraction of the investment.

Arabesque

Arabesque

Arabesque, the largest distributor of building materials and finishing products in Romania, has significantly expanded its storage capacity: OHRA's new cantilever racks reach a total length of over 250 metres at a height of up to 5,280 millimetres. The new racking system requires far less space than the previous floor storage system, so Arabesque now again has sufficient capacity to expand and enlarge its product range. This means that customer requirements can continue to be met reliably in the future.

Rubio Careco

The French car recycler Rubio Caréco has increased its storage capacities for end-of-life vehicles fivefold on the existing area with a new racking system from OHRA. 108 newly installed double-sided cantilever racks offer a load capacity of up to 2,200 kilograms per storage level per side. With a racking height of 7,600 millimetres, five storage levels were achieved. Thus, instead of 216 cars, 1080 can now be stored in the same space - and much more safely and efficiently than in the old floor storage.

Ulma

Ulma

ULMA Construction has created new storage capacity for formwork panels by installing OHRA cantilever racks in only six months. The 58 meter long external racks with roof and clad back wall were specially adapted to the different dimensions of the plywood panels by varying the centre distances within the racks. This makes it possible to store any panel size without the panels bending during storage.

With 22 cantilever and pallet racks from OHRA, the building materials dealer FX Ruch has completely restructured its branch in Radolfzell. With a warehouse, large open-air storage and drive-in area, more items are available to customers more quickly. Thanks to the racks being adapted to a wide range of goods, the company was able to combine a high storage capacity with significantly more efficient logistical processes.
