Light-duty cantilever for manual handling<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

The same principle as heavy-duty cantilever (no front uprights, long products accessed from the side) sized for lighter loads
\nand for manual handling or standard forklifts. Designed for small and medium-sized enterprises working with sheet metal, pipes, timber, and profiles.<\/p>\n<\/div>

We have been designing and manufacturing single-sided and double-sided light-duty cantilever racking in our facilities in Mornico al Serio (Bergamo<\/a>) since 1975.<\/p>\n<\/div>

When light-duty cantilever is the right choice<\/h3><\/div>

Light-duty cantilever is not just “a cheaper cantilever.” It is the right version when products are long but not extremely heavy and you handle them by hand or with a standard forklift, without the need for side-loaders<\/em> or cranes.<\/p>\n<\/div>

If, however, loads are high or side-loader forklifts are required, the right structure is heavy-duty cantilever: we will advise you during the site survey.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div><\/div>

Are your loads heavy or do you use side-loaders?<\/h4><\/div>

MCT light-duty cantilever was created as a practical alternative for small and medium-sized enterprises handling long and bulky products.<\/p>\n

It follows the same logic as the heavy-duty version but is calibrated for lighter loads and handling, with a focus on reducing transport and assembly costs.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Interchangeable single-sided and double-sided<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>
\n

The same structure can be set up on one side or both, and can be converted from single-sided to double-sided when the layout changes, thanks to the bolting system. It grows and changes with your business.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>Reduced transport volumes<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>
The structure is designed to minimize transport dimensions: fewer trucks on-site and lower logistics costs compared to welded solutions.<\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/i><\/span>Guaranteed longitudinal stability<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div>
Longitudinal stability is ensured by bracing crosses fixed to the columns with brackets and bolts. A modular configuration that expands by adding bays.<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

One light-duty cantilever, multiple ways to configure it.<\/h2><\/div><\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div>
<\/i><\/div><\/div>\n
<\/div><\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>

We start with how you handle goods and how much space you have: from there, we decide on sides, arm heights, and bay lengths.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Single-sided<\/h4><\/div>

Arms on one side only, against a wall or with a single aisle. Ideal for workshops and laboratories with limited space.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Double-sided<\/h4><\/div>

Arms on both sides, in an island configuration with aisles on two sides. Maximum capacity within the same footprint.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For manual handling<\/h4><\/div>

Low heights, arms accessible from the ground. The typical setup for SMEs, sheet metal, pipe, and timber merchants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

For protected outdoor use<\/h4><\/div>

Galvanized version for outdoor storage or under a canopy, where weather resistance is required.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/div>
<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n

From site survey to final testing, without intermediaries<\/h3><\/div>\n

We manufacture the light-duty cantilever structure ourselves, and our technicians handle the assembly. The bolted system makes installation quick even in confined spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>

What we achieve is a short supply chain: a single point of contact, changes managed in real time, and clear responsibility at every stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Compliance and safety of light-duty cantilever<\/h3><\/div>

Even a light-duty cantilever is a rack in use: UNI EN 15629 and UNI EN 15635 standards require periodic inspections by qualified personnel, and the responsibility lies with the employer. We design according to current standards and, where required, with NTC seismic criteria.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

\"\"<\/div><\/div>

We perform inspections and retrofitting on MCT structures and on racking of other brands. The technical report can be used as safety documentation within the company.<\/p>\n<\/div>
