In the storage and handling of long, heavy materials such as steel pipes, timber, and profiles, outdoor storage yards present a persistent challenge, exposure to rain and sun causes corrosion and deformation, ground-level stacking wastes valuable space, and the lack of proper protection creates safety hazards. Estantes cantilever with roof combines the high-efficiency storage of cantilever systems with integrated overhead protection, delivering an all-weather professional storage solution for outdoor and semi-outdoor environments.
Cantilever racking with roof is a specialized storage system built upon standard cantilever racking with the addition of an integrated roof system. Its core load-bearing structure consists of columns and extending cantilever arms, while the top is covered with steel sheet, panels, forming a semi-enclosed sheltered space.
This design addresses two key requirements simultaneously: first, the open cantilever structure enables efficient storage of long and irregular goods such as pipes, profiles, and panels; second, the robust canopy protects stored goods from rain, direct sunlight, dust, and harsh weather – making it particularly suited for open-air yards, semi-outdoor warehouses, and port terminals.
Our cantilever racking with canopy, which we use at our own US warehouse, can effectively keep out rainwater. With hot‑dip galvanized finish, it retains good durability under humid, salt‑spray and other harsh outdoor conditions, greatly lowering corrosion and material loss.

For dry indoor environments, powder coating is recommended. For humid conditions or long-term outdoor use, hot-dip galvanizing is strongly advised, which significantly extends the racking’s service life in harsh climates.
