This makes UNICANT a dependable solution for facilities where safety margins and structural integrity cannot be compromised.
Adjusts to
Anything You Store
With a wide range of cantilever arm lengths and a modular frame system, UNICANT is designed to support different product lengths, weights, and load profiles.
Loading levels can be positioned along the column at consistent 50 mm increments, allowing the system to be configured to suit long, bulky, or irregular items while making efficient use of vertical and horizontal space. This modular approach allows storage layouts to evolve as inventory requirements change, without the need to replace the racking system.
Self-Supporting &
Easy to Set Up
UNICANT is a free-standing, self-supporting system that does not require wall attachment, giving you full freedom in layout design. Its modular construction allows for quick installation, simple expansion, and easy reconfiguration as storage requirements evolve. A wide range of accessories further enhances customization, enabling the system to align precisely with your workflow and material handling processes.

Module Options
Arm with Entrance Crescent
Entrance crescents allow goods to be loaded safely by providing an angled face which helps goods to slide onto the arm.
Arm with End Stop
End stops are available on cantilever arms provide perfect storage for pipes and other long items. End stops are removable to allow easy loading and unloading.
Arm with Spool Holder
Cantilever arms with spool holders are available as a custom item for storing drums or reels whilst allowing the reel to be used freely.
Arm with Steel Plank Top
The addition of steel planks – available in three different versions, smooth, moulded or perforated – allow goods of varying volume as well as pallets of varied dimensions to be stored with maximum ease.

FAQ
What is UNICANT cantilever racking used for?
UNICANT cantilever racking is designed to store long, bulky, or irregular items that don’t fit on standard pallet racking. This includes materials like lumber, steel bars, pipes, panels, and extrusions. Its open-front design allows for easy loading and unloading without vertical obstructions.
How much weight can UNICANT cantilever racking hold?
UNICANT is engineered for heavy-duty industrial loads. Load capacity depends on the arm length, column height, and configuration, but every component is designed to meet strict safety standards for high-capacity, long-term use.
All structural components of are made from IPE sections ranging from IPE180 to IPE300. Load bearing capacities: from 355daN to 2000 daN for the cantilever arms; and up to 35000 daN for the columns.
Is UNICANT suitable for uneven or oversized loads?
Yes. UNICANT is specifically designed to handle uneven, oversized, and non-uniform loads. Its robust columns and cantilever arms distribute weight safely, providing stable storage even when items vary in length or weight.
Does UNICANT need to be attached to a wall or building structure?
No. UNICANT is a self-supporting, free-standing cantilever racking system. It does not require wall attachment to maintain structural integrity, giving you more freedom in layout design and allowing installation anywhere within the facility.
How does UNICANT improve warehouse efficiency?
By eliminating front columns and creating clear loading levels, UNICANT reduces handling time and improves accessibility. Forklifts and side loaders can access materials directly, speeding up loading, reducing product damage, and improving overall workflow efficiency.
How easy is UNICANT to install and reconfigure?
UNICANT is designed for fast installation using a modular, bolt-together system. Arms, columns, and accessories can be added, removed, or repositioned as storage requirements evolve, making future reconfiguration straightforward and cost-effective.
What types of accessories are available for UNICANT?
ShelvingMate’s UNICANT system can be customized with a range of arm-mounted accessories to suit your storage needs. Options include entrance crescents to help slide goods onto arms, end stops for securing long material, spool holders for reels and drums, and steel planks (smooth, moulded, or perforated) to create broader, more versatile loading surfaces.
Is UNICANT suitable for indoor and outdoor storage?
Yes. UNICANT is suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications, depending on finish and environmental conditions. For outdoor use, protective coatings and corrosion-resistant finishes help ensure long-term durability in exposed environments.
