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.

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

References for cantilever racks
FX Ruch
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.
Adamet
The metal wholesaler Adamet-Niemet replaced the previous storage concept of floor storage and low height racks to storage in cantilever racks from OHRA that are up to 8,570 millimetres high. The load capacity of the cantilever arms is 500 or 600 kilograms, up to 16 storage levels are possible with a rack height of 8,570 millimetres. This not only increased the storage capacity, but also accelerated the storage and retrieval processes and increased the efficiency of production. The flexible, height-adjustable cantilever arms of the OHRA racks also deflect upwards and sideways in the event of impacts. This protects the goods from damage.
URKOITIK
Drive in areas are particularly suitable for the storage of PVC and metal pipes.
Albixon
ALBIXON, one of the leading manufacturers of swimming pools and pool enclosures in Europe, has expanded its storage capacities with a covered cantilever racking system from OHRA. Palletised aluminium profiles are stored here; the length of the pallets is 5 to 12 metres, the weight ranges from 500 to 1,200 kilograms. The new racking system not only offers more space, but also reduces costs: Unnecessary material movements are avoided, the efficiency of warehouse transports increases and the risk of damage to the stored goods decreases. Thanks to the weather protection, the costs for quality control are also reduced. Due to the good overview of the stored goods, stocktaking is also much easier to carry out.
Bati Nature
Bati-Nature, the French carpentry / timber frame construction company / specialised in the construction of straw-insulated houses, has created new capacities for the storage of both wood-based materials and prefabricated wall elements with a special racking system from OHRA. Here, two 24-metre-long rows of single-sided cantilever racks form the walls of a hall-like construction. Between them remains a space of about 6 metres width that can be travelled on, in which the timber frame walls are stored upright. The cantilever columns support a roof that protects both the outward-facing storage levels formed by the cantilever arms from the weather and the floor storage zone between the racks. OHRA needed only about one and a half weeks for the assembly of the specially adapted warehouse building.
