Dexion Clearspan Heavy Duty Cantilever for storing extra-long items

Dexion’s Clearspan Heavy Duty Cantilever has been designed to support items that are heavy, long and cumbersome to store.

With no front uprights to impede access, the cantilever enables fast and direct retrieval of stored products. It is designed to accommodate items that cannot be palletised.

A hot-dip galvanised option is available for outdoor applications. The cantilever can be used by a variety of industries, including aluminium fabricators, steel and timber merchants, plumbing and hardware suppliers, furniture wholesalers and garden suppliers.

The cantilever is equipped with columns that are bolted to both sides of either single- or double-entry bases and are also directly anchored to the concrete floor via a heavy-duty baseplate and heavy-duty stud anchors. This dual fixing arrangement provides maximum base fixity, which minimises the rotation and overall deflection of the column and also provides greater resistance to fork truck impact.

Rectangular hollow section is used for the arms, rather than the commonly used open section, providing additional stability of every arm. A pivoting arm allows the arm to shift upwards if impact occurs during loading and unloading. This protects the arm from damage and prevents structural damage to the system.

Arm locking pins are used to restrain the arm onto the column. A lynch pin is used as a safety lock to secure the arm and locking pin to the column. The cantilever has turnbuckle bracing for lateral stability, which allows for the readjustment of the structure if required.

A range of accessories is also available, including deck support brackets and tube support channels.
