Why Birmingham Needs Cantilever and Coil Racking
At the core of the West Midlands manufacturing sector, Birmingham demands high-capacity industrial racking built for severe workloads. Key industrial hubs such as Tyseley Industrial Estate, Gravelly Industrial Park, Aston Cross Business Park, and Minworth Industrial Park support heavy engineering firms, steel stockholders, automotive component makers, and building merchants. Storage facilities across these parks regularly handle structural steel channel, solid brass and copper bar stock, large-diameter steel tubing, timber roofing trusses, corrugated fencing panels, and body panels. Cantilever racking is essential here, providing open-fronted, continuous arm runs that accommodate heavy, over-length items without structural interference. Furthermore, the region's dense automotive, metal-stamping, and wire-drawing industries require dedicated coil racking. Facilities storing continuous sheet steel coils, heavy electrical copper cabling, industrial rubber hosing, packaging foils, and industrial carpet rolls rely on Rackstor UK coil systems equipped with reinforced steel arbors to store high-density rolls safely off the shop floor.
