Cantilever Arms

Cantilever Arms

Double and single cantilever arms posts are available in lengths of 150mm, 300mm, 450mm, 600mm & 750mm.

Materials and finishes available are mild steel hot dip galvanised as standard and stainless steel grade 1.4404 (316L) to order. Where requirements specify – a post manufacture process which involves chemical cleaning and passivation of stainless steel parts is also available on request.
