Heavy Duty 3000kg/Level
Forklift Outside Operation
As storage demand increases, traditional systems such as floor stacking and fixed cantilever racks can no longer meet modern logistics requirements.
This is where the telescopic cantilever rack system becomes a highly efficient upgrade solution.

Large floor occupation and inefficient stacking layout.
Forklifts need to enter narrow aisles, reducing efficiency.
Materials may roll, fall, or cause collision accidents.
Difficult to classify and retrieve different materials.
Modern warehouses are shifting from traditional fixed storage systems to retractable cantilever racking systems that improve accessibility, safety, and storage density simultaneously.
Unlike traditional fixed cantilever racks, the cantilever arms can extend outward during loading and unloading, allowing forklifts to operate outside the rack structure instead of entering narrow aisles.
This design significantly improves warehouse safety, handling efficiency, and storage density.
| Feature | Fixed Cantilever Rack | Telescopic Cantilever Rack |
|---|---|---|
| Forklift Operation | Inside rack aisles | Outside rack system |
| Aisle Width Requirement | Wide aisles required | Narrow aisles possible |
| Storage Efficiency | Medium | High (up to +30%) |
| Loading Speed | Moderate | Fast |
| Safety Level | Medium risk | Improved safety |
Reduces aisle requirements and increases storage density by up to 30% or more.
Forklifts operate outside the rack, reducing travel time and congestion.
Minimizes forklift entry into rack aisles, reducing collision risks.
Multi-level storage allows clear classification of different materials.
Telescopic cantilever racks are becoming a preferred solution for modern steel service centers and metal processing facilities.

It is used for storing long and heavy materials such as steel pipes, bars, aluminum profiles, and structural steel sections.
Typically it can improve warehouse space utilization by 30% or more depending on layout design.
Standard designs support up to 3000kg per tier with reinforced steel structure.
Yes. Height, arm layout, load capacity, and surface treatment can all be customized based on warehouse requirements.
No. Forklifts operate outside the rack thanks to the retractable arm system.
Steel service centers, metal fabrication workshops, aluminum factories, pipe warehouses, and industrial logistics hubs.
