Retrofit kit for cantilever racks for existing cantilever racks | Carack
Carack
The Carack cantilever retrofit kit converts an existing cantilever rack into a cable drum rack with a 500 mm arm extension, a Ø60 mm support tube, and support for reels up to Ø1000 mm.
Convert an existing cantilever rack into a cable drum rack
This retrofit kit extends the cantilever arm by 500 mm and adds a Ø60 mm cable drum support tube, allowing your existing rack to carry drums up to Ø1000 mm.
It is intended for owners who already have a cantilever rack and only want to convert the arm function for cable drums. A single set weighs approximately 32 kg. The connection point to your current rack must be confirmed based on photos or on site; we do not treat every cantilever rack as universally compatible.
- 500 mm arm extension
- Ø60 mm cable drum support tube
- Suitable for drums up to Ø1000 mm
- Single set weight approx. 32 kg
- Retrofit only, no need to purchase a new rack
If your drum is larger than Ø1000 mm, the standard route with Carack main and add-on frames is the safer option.
Choose the retrofit only if the existing rack can be confirmed
Retrofit option
Use the retrofit kit on an existing cantilever bay
Keep your existing rack, extend the arm by 500 mm, and add a Ø60 mm support tube for cable drums.
500 mm extension
Ø60 mm support tube
Drums up to Ø1000 mm
Connection verification
Confirm the connection before production
The mounting point, hole pattern, and condition of the rack must be verified based on your current rack photos or an on-site inspection.
Photo verification first
Connection method confirmed
No universal fit guarantee
Standard rack route
Use the standard Carack main and add-on frames if the drum is too large
If the drum exceeds Ø1000 mm or the existing cantilever structure cannot be safely adapted, choose the standard rack route instead of forcing a retrofit.
Oversized drums
New rack layout
Decision confirmed on site
Keep the existing frame, change only the function
Keep your existing rack
This is a cost-effective retrofit kit for customers who do not want to purchase a complete new rack system.
Extend the working arm by 500 mm
The added extension creates the required overhang to carry cable drums while keeping the retrofit compact.
Support drums with a Ø60 mm tube
The support tube is designed for drum handling, rotation support, and stable placement during storage or dispensing.
Know the limits before ordering
Use this retrofit only if the existing rack can be confirmed and the drum diameter remains within Ø1000 mm.
First photos, then dimensions, finally packaging
Send photos of your current cantilever rack
Front view, side view, and the mounting area are sufficient for an initial retrofit check.
Confirm the connection method
The connection area marked in red in the quotation must be checked before we treat the set as suitable.
Confirm drum size and quantity
The set is designed for drums up to Ø1000 mm and is supplied as a retrofit parts set, not as a complete rack.
Choose the packaging plan
20 sets are packed in one wooden crate, approx. 1900 × 800 × 1100 mm and about 720 kg in total. 100 sets are packed in five identical wooden crates.
The four questions buyers ask first
Can my cantilever rack be modified?
Yes, if your current rack structure and mounting point pass the photo verification or an on-site confirmation. We do not promise universal compatibility for every cantilever rack.
How much does the arm extend?
The retrofit kit extends the cantilever arm by 500 mm.
What support tube size is used?
The drum support tube has Ø60 mm.
Which drum diameter is suitable?
The retrofit kit is intended for cable drums up to Ø1000 mm. If the drum is larger, the standard route with Carack main and add-on frames is the safer choice.
How are 20 sets and 100 sets packed?
20 sets are packed in one wooden crate, approx. 1900 × 800 × 1100 mm and about 720 kg in total. 100 sets are packed in five identical wooden crates.
