Engineered specifically for structural integrity, corrosion protection, and heavy timber, steel pipe, and bulk storage. Ready for immediate deployment.
The Australian supply chain infrastructure is undergoing a massive transformation. Driven by rapid growth in the construction, logistics, and resource sectors across Queensland, Victoria, and New South Wales, businesses require structural storage options that maximize spatial efficiency without compromising on occupational safety.
Cantilever racking serves as the backbone for storing long, irregular, and heavy items such as structural timber, PVC and steel pipes, sheet metal, and plasterboard. Unlike standard pallet racks, cantilever configurations feature no front vertical uprights, enabling forklift operators to load and unload long items smoothly, reducing operational cycle times and minimizing material damage.
However, the Australian market presents unique regulatory challenges. Under the strict requirements of AS 4084 (Steel Storage Racking) standards, structural integrity, high-quality welding, and reliable load ratings are non-negotiable. Nanjing Fortis Storage Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. designs and manufactures industrial cantilever racking systems tailored specifically to meet these local conditions.
When deploying storage systems in Australia, design considerations must factor in regional environmental conditions. Outdoor cantilever storage installations in coastal areas like Newcastle, Wollongong, and Brisbane demand advanced corrosion protection due to high atmospheric humidity and salt levels. Nanjing Fortis offers premium hot-dip galvanized (HDG) steel options tested via rigorous salt spray exposure to resist rust and structural fatigue.
Additionally, structural seismic verification is increasingly requested in metropolitan Melbourne and Adelaide. The engineering team at Nanjing Fortis performs comprehensive structural calculations to ensure base plate anchorage, column section properties, and arm-to-upright connections withstand localized ground acceleration. Every rack system is simulated using dynamic Finite Element Analysis (FEA) to confirm loading compliance and structural stability.
Our capability to customize steel grades (up to high-tensile Q355B structural steel) ensures that arm load capacities range up to 2,000 kg per arm, matching the demands of heavy machinery component storage and bulk metal yards in Western Sydney and beyond.
How Nanjing Fortis engineers high-performance cantilever rack systems for long-term operational durability.
We source heavy-gauge structural steel with certified yield strength properties, ensuring the columns and arm profiles do not experience permanent deflection under heavy loads.
Arms are adjustable on 75mm pitches with secure pin-locking mechanisms, allowing Australian warehouse operators to easily reconfigure layouts as stock profiles change.
Integrated arm end stops (removable or welded) prevent circular or cylindrical goods (pipes, rolls, tubes) from rolling off the arm front, protecting ground crew.
For outdoor timber yards and steel distribution centres located near Australia’s coastline, moisture and salt spray cause standard powder-coated steel to corrode rapidly. To resolve this, our factory provides specialized Hot-Dip Galvanized (HDG) coating. Through a thermal process, the steel component is submerged in molten zinc, forming a multi-layered, metallurgically bonded zinc-iron alloy coating. This offers self-healing properties that prevent corrosion even if the racking is scratched during intensive forklift loading.
Electrostatic Thermosetting Powder Coating. Smooth finish, high visibility safety orange/blue, highly resistant to scratching.
Hot-Dip Galvanized according to EN ISO 1461. Exceptional resilience against marine, coastal, and chemical environments.
Specially treated structural grade steel that preserves tensile integrity under sub-zero freezer room conditions.
From raw structural coils to precision-engineered components, our state-of-the-art facility guarantees manufacturing consistency.
Founded in 2016, Nanjing Fortis Storage Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. has developed into a major industrial warehouse engineering exporter. Spanning over 48,000 square meters of manufacturing space, our factory is equipped with automated line hoisting machinery, high-precision laser cutters, forming lines, and robotic welding stations.
We export over $35 million annually, supporting projects across Europe, South America, the Middle East, and the Asia-Pacific region. Our quality control system employs 62 full-time QA inspectors operating state-of-the-art CMM dimensional measurement machines and automated test jigs to verify welding penetration, structural tolerances, and paint thickness.
For our Australian clients, this direct-factory relationship eliminates intermediary markups. It allows developers, logistics managers, and procurement officers to connect directly with the designers. Our engineering team, consisting of 80 specialists, can quickly adapt cantilever arm profiles, column heights, and base plate connections to align with local soil conditions and concrete slab loading profiles.
