Cantilever racking

In Northern Spain, the auto salvage company Desguaces Eduardo has considerably extended its capacities for storing old vehicles, with cantilever racking from OHRA.

The total of 37 racks enable significantly faster access to individual vehicles and thus also ensure a high level of occupational health and safety.

Columns 5,680mm high bear the arms installed, which carry up to 3 tons per side per rack, and each of the cantilever arms, 1,800mm in length, has a load-bearing capacity of 1,000kg. Since each rack is made up of two columns, one vehicle weighing as much as 2,000kg can be stored per level and per side (on the lowest level the vehicles rest directly on the base of the racks). The solid wall steel profiles – unlike racks manufactured of sheet metal profiles – offer protection against buckling even at impact.
