If you're handling medium to extra heavy-duty loads, Cogan structural cantilever racking delivers the performance and durability your operation demands. Designed specifically for storing short, long, or awkwardly shaped materials, our cantilever systems feature a specialized open-arm design that enables easy, obstruction-free front loading.
Constructed with high-strength structural steel, every component of our cantilever system is made for the toughest industrial environments. Full-height punched holes along the column uprights provide unmatched adjustability and versatility, giving you the freedom to reconfigure as your storage needs evolve.
All connections use structural-grade bolts, ensuring maximum stability and load integrity. Whether you're storing steel tubing, lumber, piping, or oversized items, Cogan racks are engineered to handle the weight with ease.
Our signature powder-coated paint finish offers exceptional resistance for all indoor applications. For outdoor environments, we apply a rugged polyurethane liquid coating to columns and bases, protecting your racking from weather, wear, and corrosion. Your Cogan system will not only perform — it will look good for years.
Choose from straight or inclined arms, with optional removable arm and base stopper pins for added material control. Racks are available in single- or double-sided configurations to maximize layout efficiency.
To suit your specific load requirements, Cogan offers two column types:
Note: Column selection is determined by an engineer based on your arm quantity and maximum load per arm. Always refer to your quote or approval drawings for exact specifications.
Customize your racking system with a range of optional accessories — all engineered to improve efficiency, safety, and ease of use when loading and storing materials.
Cogan Cantilever Racking Systems deliver unbeatable strength, adaptability, and long-term value. Let’s build a solution tailored to your operation.
Structural cantilever racking is a heavy-duty storage system designed to safely store long, bulky, and irregularly shaped materials. Unlike traditional pallet racks, it features open-front arms without front columns, making it easy to load and unload items such as steel, pipe, lumber, tubing, sheet goods, and bar stock. Spacesaver Storage Solutions provides Cogan Structural Cantilever Racking engineered for demanding industrial environments.
Structural cantilever racking is ideal for storing:
Cantilever racking offers:
Yes. Structural cantilever racking is specifically engineered for medium to extra heavy-duty applications. High-strength structural steel columns, arms, and bases provide exceptional load capacity for demanding industrial storage environments.
Yes. The arms are vertically adjustable, allowing your storage system to adapt as inventory changes. This flexibility makes it easy to accommodate different product heights and improve storage efficiency.
Absolutely. Outdoor systems are available with weather-resistant finishes, including durable polyurethane coatings, while indoor applications typically use a powder-coated finish for long-lasting protection against wear and corrosion.
Industries that frequently benefit include:
Yes. Single-sided systems are typically installed against walls, while double-sided systems maximize storage capacity by providing access from both sides of a central column. Your layout depends on available space and operational requirements.
Yes. Spacesaver Storage Solutions can configure systems with:
Load capacity depends on several factors, including:
Yes. Spacesaver Storage Solutions provides complete project support throughout Virginia and the Mid-Atlantic, including:
By eliminating front uprights, structural cantilever racking allows forklifts to access materials quickly from the front. This reduces handling time, improves inventory organization, minimizes product damage, and helps maximize available floor space.
Available accessories include:
Spacesaver Storage Solutions provides customized storage systems backed by experienced designers, certified installers, and local project support throughout Virginia. Every solution is engineered to maximize storage capacity, improve operational efficiency, and provide long-term durability for demanding industrial environments.
Enhance the functionality of your Cogan cantilever racking with two purpose-built arm accessories designed for storing rolled or coiled materials:
Welded "V" Brackets – Welded along the full length of the arm’s top flange, these brackets create a stable cradle ideal for securely holding coils in place.
"U" Brackets with Support Rod – Welded to the top flange of each arm, these brackets hold a steel rod between two cantilever arms, providing reliable horizontal support for rolled materials.
Both accessories are finished in Cogan’s signature powder-coated grey, offering durable protection and a clean, professional appearance.
The wire mesh overlay offers strong, reliable support for stored materials by resting between the cantilever arms and securing in place with front and rear beam supports. It’s an ideal solution for both indoor and outdoor storage applications.
Enhanced Load Security
Stopper pins and arm stoppers are designed to help prevent materials from slipping or rolling off the cantilever arms, ensuring safer and more controlled storage. Cogan offers four types of load retention options:
Welded angle stoppers are mounted on top of each arm to help keep stored items centered and stable.
Rack columns are a critical structural element of the Cogan cantilever racking system. They provide vertical support for both the load-bearing arms and any roof structures, effectively transferring all gravity loads to the base and anchoring slab.
Cogan offers two column types based on structural requirements:
LD Columns (Light/Medium Duty)
HD Columns (Heavy/Extra Heavy Duty)
Cogan structural arms are engineered to meet a wide range of load requirements. Each arm consists of a welded beam-to-plate connection and is available in either a 1.5° or 3° incline from horizontal to suit your storage needs. Arms are classified as MD (Medium Duty) or HD (Heavy Duty), indicating their load-bearing capacity.
The number of arms per column is determined by the client and directly impacts the overall system design. When configuring your setup, it's critical to consider both the maximum load per arm and the total load per column. The combined weight supported by all arms on a column must not exceed the column’s rated capacity to ensure safe and efficient performance.
