Quality and comprehensive service speak for themselves. OHRA can look back on over 40 years of experience as an established manufacturer of heavy-duty shelving and offers an impressive all-round service: From consulting to the manufacture and assembly of shelving systems. The cantilever rack is the most important product in the range.
With customised racks and an extensive range of accessories, we offer a complete solution for the storage of long goods and heavy loads. Everything: Made in Germany.
Advantages of cantilever racking from OHRA
The sophisticated shelving systems for heavy loads or long goods are individually manufactured by OHRA according to your requirements – in Germany. They are powder-coated to a high standard or hot-dip galvanized for outdoor storage. Even when fully loaded, the cantilever racking system remains permanently stable and ensures a high level of safety for your staff and your customers. There are specific solutions for every product and every industry. The racks for long goods differ in height, usable depth, load capacity, or profile thickness depending on requirements.
A basic distinction is made between single-sided and double-sided cantilever rack shelves.
- Shelving stands and cantilever arms made of solid, hot-rolled IPE steel profiles
- Suspended, height-adjustable arms
- freely movable cantilever arms protect goods and racks in the event of collisions
- we offer both single-sided and double-sided solutions
- High-quality powder coating protects the material and ensures a particularly long service life
- lso available with roof, rear panel, and rain gutter in the outdoor area
- optional hot-dip galvanized version for outdoor storage
The cantilever principle is simple, yet fully thought through by OHRA.
Everything you need to know at a glance
These are vertical steel supports with horizontally projecting roof cantilevers. The stored goods are placed on these arms. They are used for the storage of especially long objects such as pipes or beams (long goods).
They are available in either single-sided or double-sided versions. Single-sided cantilever racking is usually integrated along the walls of the warehouse or set up close to them. In the double-sided version, they allow access from both sides and maintain their stability through even weight distribution and a stable basic construction. Both can also be anchored in the ground.
In addition to the simple versions, there are also models with a roof, which offer the stored goods protection from the weather if they are used outdoors.
Today, cantilever racking made from hot-rolled steel profiles can be found in almost all industries:
- In the timber trade or building material trade for the storage of squared timber, boards, stones, pipes, and profiles,
- in the steel trade where sheet metal formats and heavy steel profiles have to be stored securely,
- in joinery and carpentry workshops as storage for heavy chipboards,
- but also at car recyclers,
- marinas,
- furniture and kitchen manufacturers,
- and many other sectors where it is important to store a lot on a small footprint.
here are specific solutions for every product and every industry. Depending on requirements, they differ in height, usable depth, load capacity, or profile thickness. This is why OHRA always produces heavy-duty shelving according to the individual requirements and specific specifications of its customers.
Cantilever racking is an extremely strong storage system for storing long goods and heavy loads. This includes, for example, wooden panels, metal sheets, profiles, beams or steel elements, building materials or even end-of-life vehicles and all types of heavy loads.
Our variants, your choice
Simple functional principle – many useful versions:
We offer the cantilever principle in many useful designs
Cantilever racking with roof
In outdoor areas, cantilever racking with a roof is the right choice for your long goods that do not necessarily have to be stored in an enclosed warehouse. In addition to the load requirements, we take into account the snow and wind loads in your region when calculating the structural strength of the storage system, and dimension the rack profiles and the rack roof accordingly. We advise you right from the start: from planning to roofing. We also support you with your building permit – with drawing materials and statics on request.
Single-sided cantilever rack
The single-sided cantilever rack is usually positioned under a roof or in front of a wall. It is operated from only one side.
The stable design allows a free-standing construction.
If the cantilever rack is planned as a single-sided rack, it can be closed at the rear and sides when used outdoors – for example with trapezoidal sheet metal or wood.
Double-sided cantilever racking
The double-sided cantilever racking consists of the same stand profile as the single-sided option. However, both sides of the rack are fitted with legs and cantilever arms. This gives you twice the storage space. This advantage makes the double-sided solution even more economical.
Heavy-duty cantilever racking
Heavy loads are a challenge for any rack. The cantilever racking from OHRA therefore consists of hot-rolled steel profiles for all load-bearing elements. The product benefits of this racking system become even more apparent as load requirements increase. With standard arm loads of up to 2,500kg and with support loads of up to 10,000kg, it can also handle heavy loads without any problems.
Cantilever racks as a sliding racking system
In a sliding racking system, the rows of shelves are directly connected to each other, with no free space in between. Only when you want to access your stored items, can you move the desired racks manually or electrically, thus creating access. By using sliding shelves from OHRA, you can make optimum use of your limited storage space and organise your products efficiently. The space saving also provides a clear overview of your stored goods and the various product groups, which saves time and resources.
Cantilever rack for long goods
Racks for long goods are suitable for storing particularly long goods. A rack for long goods can be designed both as a vertical storage system and as a horizontal storage system. The decisive factor when selecting a system is the intended use and the available space in the warehouse. The cantilever racks are ideal for pipes, for example. Access is quick and you have a good overview of the different lengths and varieties. The vertical shelving can also be installed in sales rooms.
Other versions of cantilever racking
Other cantilever rack designs from OHRA offer customised solutions for unique storage needs, including special applications such as cantilever rack warehouses, platforms, and tile presentations. Discover our other cantilever rack variants with a wide selection of materials, stability, safety, and expandability.

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.
Investzal
For the storage of coils weighing up to 5 tonnes, the Hungarian company Invesztál installed a 19.9m long pallet rack from OHRA. The heavy-duty rack was individually adapted to the dimensions of the coils stored on pallets. Compared to the previous storage - a mixture of floor storage and standard racking - access to the coils is easier, more reliable and faster with the new racking. In addition, damage to the - partly coloured and galvanised coils is minimised.
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.
