Dexion K40 Medium Duty Cantilever Racking, Single-Sided

Dexion K40 Medium Duty Cantilever Racking, Single-Sided

Pipes roll, bars get mixed by length, and bundles end up blocking aisles. Dexion K40 medium duty cantilever racking is a straightforward way to get that stock off the floor and into a place where it is easier to see, pick and handle. The single-sided design is ideal when you want to keep the rack along a wall line or at the edge of a storage area, while still giving clear access for manual picking and forklift handling.

Efficient long goods storage with cantilever racking

Cantilever racking is designed for items that are difficult to store on standard shelving. Instead of shelf decks and front posts, you have open storage levels that support the load along its length. That is why cantilever racking is widely used for bar stock and tube stock, as well as timber and other long materials. Some people simply call it cantilever shelving.

Single-sided cantilever racking when forklift handling matters

Your original goal is simple: store long goods efficiently and keep handling smooth. A key advantage of cantilever racking for long goods is the open front. When there are no front uprights in the way, you can approach the rack with a forklift and place the load where it needs to go. This is especially useful for long bundles of bars and tubes, where a clean, straight set-down reduces the risk of bending, scuffing or crushing the packaging.

Even in medium-duty environments, it is common to switch between manual picking and forklift handling depending on what is being stored. For that reason, Dexion K40 cantilever racking is often specified as a balanced solution: strong enough for industrial stock, yet still easy to work with in day-to-day picking.

Designed to match your space, your loads and your workflow

One of the main reasons companies choose the K40 range is flexibility. The rack can be sized to suit the application and the expected load, instead of forcing your materials to fit a fixed layout. When you request a quotation, the configuration can be planned around:

First, the materials themselves: their typical lengths, bundle sizes and how the load is distributed. Second, the handling method: mainly manual picking, forklift handling, or a mix of both. Third, your available space: the wall length you can use, the aisle width you need, and any height restrictions in the building.

The product image shows a common example of how a single-sided cantilever run can be built up with multiple uprights and bays. The illustrated frame height is 3080 mm, and the bay widths shown are 1500 mm. Treat this as an example configuration, not a limitation. The key point is that the system can be dimensioned to meet your actual storage requirement.
