Cantilever Shelving
Storage That Adapts to Collections and Spaces
Donnegan Systems provides cantilever shelving solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of modern libraries, archives, and institutions. These systems are known for their open design, modular components, and ease of customization — making them ideal for storing everything from books and journals to binders, archival boxes, and multimedia collections.
Whether you're outfitting a university library, a municipal archive, or a corporate resource center, cantilever shelving offers the flexibility to grow and reconfigure as your collection changes. Adjustable shelves, optional dividers, and back panels allow for tailored storage layouts, while the ability to integrate with mobile systems gives you the power to maximize capacity within a limited footprint.

Design Enhancements and Functional Add-Ons
Transform your space with these solutions.
Integrated Lighting Options
Enhance your shelving system with integrated LED lighting that improves both functionality and user experience. Built-in lighting illuminates shelf contents clearly, making it easier for patrons and staff to locate materials—especially in dimly lit or enclosed areas. It’s particularly useful in special collections, reading rooms, or display areas where visibility matters and aesthetics are key.
Lighting can be configured to highlight featured collections, provide accent lighting for designated zones, or support ADA compliance by improving visibility in low-contrast environments. Our integrated systems are designed to be low-profile and energy-efficient, blending seamlessly with the shelving without disrupting the visual flow of your space. The result is a well-lit, modern storage system that enhances the overall experience for users while maintaining a clean, professional appearance.
Custom End Panels and Finishes
Your shelving system should work hard — and look good doing it. With a wide variety of custom end panel options, Hamilton’s cantilever shelving allows you to match the surrounding architecture, color schemes, or branding of your space. Choose from wood veneers, high-pressure laminates, powder-coated steel, or even full-graphic panels to make a visual statement or subtly blend into the background.
These design upgrades are more than cosmetic; they help unify the aesthetic of your facility, whether you're designing a university library, public branch, or private archive. End panels also provide added protection to the shelving structure and contents, especially in high-traffic environments. With so many finishes available, our shelving systems offer a refined, tailored look that supports both your brand and your storage goals.
Perfect for Library and Archive Storage
Cantilever shelving has long been the standard in libraries and archives for good reason — it offers the perfect balance of durability, flexibility, and accessibility. Designed specifically for storing books, periodicals, media, and boxed materials, these systems support diverse collection types without compromising ease of use. The open construction encourages visibility and airflow, while adjustable shelving and accessories like dividers, back stops, and signage kits help maintain order and improve navigation.
Whether you're housing a circulating public collection, a special research archive, or a multimedia library, cantilever shelving adapts to your content and space. It's available in single- or double-faced configurations, can be mounted to mobile bases, and integrates seamlessly with lighting, signage, and aesthetic enhancements. This makes it an ideal solution for institutions looking to modernize their storage without sacrificing heritage, accessibility, or growth potential.
