A premier warehouse facility for Havelock One Interiors in the UAE is undergoing the successful installation of a custom heavy-duty cantilever racking system engineered and manufactured by Guangzhou GXM Racking Co., Ltd. (GXM Shelving). The project is progressing smoothly, with the client expressing high satisfaction regarding our product quality, structural stability, and efficient localized installation.
Project Location: Dubai, UAE / Askar Industrial Area, Bahrain
Project Scale: 1,000 sqm Cantilever Racking Storage Area
Client Profile: Havelock One Interiors (Established in 1998)
About the Client:
Headquartered in Dubai, UAE, Havelock One Interiors is one of the Middle East’s leading turnkey fit-out contractors and bespoke interior manufacturers across the GCC region. Specializing in high-end spatial decoration, Havelock One serves luxury retail, five-star hotels, fine dining establishments, commercial offices, and premium private residences. Their primary manufacturing hub in Askar, Bahrain spans 48,000 square meters, housing advanced joinery, metalwork, and upholstery workshops.
With continuous expansion in production scale, Havelock One faced significant logistics bottlenecks in their central manufacturing facility:
Floor Stacking Inefficiencies: Large volumes of long timber logs, aluminum extrusion profiles, and semi-finished components were stacked flat on the workshop floor.
High Material Damage Rate: Ground storage exposed high-end raw materials to moisture, pressure bending, and accidental impact damage.
Low Space Utilization: Floor-bound storage wasted valuable vertical space, restricting inventory turnover and daily workflow efficiency.
To solve these long-material storage challenges, Havelock One sourced GXM Shelving via our international network. The newly custom-built cantilever racking system is deployed across their raw timber warehouse, metal profile warehouse, and temporary staging areas for long components.
Leveraging GXM Shelving's overseas service network and local subsidiary in Dubai, our engineering team responded rapidly to the client's inquiry:
On-Site Survey & Requirement Analysis: Our local engineers conducted on-site measurements, assessing floor load-bearing capacity, forklift clearance, material dimensions, and handling frequency.
Custom Design & Structural Optimization: We recommended a Heavy-Duty Cantilever Racking System. The column-free front design provides unobstructed open access, allowing long, heavy, and irregularly shaped items to be stored and retrieved effortlessly without collision risks.
End-to-End Technical Support: We delivered a tailored warehouse layout plan optimized for picking routes and material safety, addressing all technical queries regarding load distribution, delivery timelines, and local installation standards.
Racking Type: Heavy-Duty Double-Sided / Single-Sided Cantilever Racks
Load Capacity: 750 kg per arm (Heavy-Duty Rating)
Dimensions: L1000mm (Center Distance) × D1750mm × H4460mm
Storage Levels: 5 Levels (4 Arm Levels + Base Storage)
Pitch Adjustment: 140mm pitch, allowing flexible vertical arm height adjustments according to material specs.
To ensure flawless overseas installation, GXM Shelving implemented rigorous quality assurance procedures throughout the manufacturing process:
Raw Material Selection & Precision Machining: High-grade structural steel profiles cut, welded, and robotically polished to precision tolerances.
Durable Surface Coating: Electrostatic powder coating for enhanced corrosion resistance and scratch protection.
Pre-Shipment Trial Assembly: Every rack batch underwent full pre-assembly and load-testing in our Guangzhou factory. Dimensional deviations and connection tolerances were rectified prior to container loading, ensuring zero rework during final assembly in the Middle East.
Following the complete installation of the cantilever racking system, Havelock One achieved a total transformation of their warehouse operations:
Enhanced Handling Efficiency: Forklifts can directly access storage tiers without obstacle interference, reducing material search and retrieval time significantly.
Drastic Reduction in Material Loss: Elevated, tier-based storage keeps expensive timber and metal extrusions flat and dry, preventing moisture absorption and pressure distortion.
Maximized Vertical Capacity: The vertical storage architecture dramatically increased warehouse storage capacity within the same 1,000 sqm footprint.
Standardized Inventory Control: Clear visual management enables streamlined stock counts and aligns perfectly with Havelock One’s lean manufacturing standards.
GXM Shelving’s overseas service team conducted an on-site post-installation visit to inspect the operating conditions. The project directors and warehouse management team at Havelock One Interiors expressed immense appreciation for the delivered results:
"The custom cantilever racking system from GXM Shelving completely solved our long-material storage challenges. The structural integrity, heavy load capacity, and precise customization fit our workflow perfectly. Their rapid response, professional engineering, and seamless local service make GXM a trusted, reliable long-term partner for our future facility expansions."

FAQ
Q1: What types of materials are best suited for custom heavy-duty cantilever racking systems?
A: Heavy-duty cantilever racking systems are designed for long, bulky, or irregularly shaped materials that cannot be easily stored on standard pallet racks. Common applications include timber logs, lumber boards, steel pipes, aluminum extrusions, metal profiles, plastic tubing, drywall, and heavy furniture components. The open-front design with zero upright obstruction allows seamless forklift loading and unloading for long-span inventory.
Q2: Can GXM Cantilever Racks be customized for specific load capacities and arm lengths?
A: Yes, all GXM cantilever racks are fully customizable to meet your facility's exact requirements. We offer variable column heights (up to 8+ meters), adjustable arm lengths (up to 2,000 mm), arm load capacities ranging from 300 kg to over 1,500 kg per arm, and adjustable pitch intervals (such as 140 mm). Our engineering team provides free 2D/3D CAD layout design based on your floor space, material dimensions, and forklift specifications.
