Stillages are an extremely important tool in modern warehouses for making the process of moving heavy goods from one place to another easier. These steel cages are designed, manufactured, and used for separating and carrying goods.

Even though their primary purpose is moving items around a factory floor or aiding in the transportation of goods, they can also be stacked on top of each other to maximise floor space as much as possible. This will make your space more organised, making it easier to find products when you need them. In addition to this, industrial and metal stillages also help reduce the time it takes to load and unload items during transportation.

So, if you&#;re looking to make things in your warehouse easier and more effective, there are some important considerations to take into account when on the hunt for the ideal storage cages.

Consider the Types

To revolutionize the distribution of goods in your warehouse, pick sturdy and durable stillage cages built to the highest standards. They are a versatile solution designed to support and divide items in the same way that a pallet does, while also offering additional security through solid or cage sides. They have four feet for stability and are designed to be readily moved by a forklift or vehicle. They are also stackable, saving space and allowing for the storage of both tiny and bulky things. These pallet cages normally include a half-drop gate on one side and a completely removable gate on the other, allowing for easy loading and unloading of items.

Besides utmost durability, you will also need a design that will best suit your needs. For instance, gitterboxes are typically larger than other types of cages and are intended for heavy-duty storage purposes. These cages are also widely used for international shipping because they fit readily into shipping containers. They are typically constructed of galvanised steel and feature mesh sides that allow for good ventilation and visibility of the contents inside.

Collapsible warehouse cages, on the other hand, are an excellent choice when space is at a premium. They fold flat when not in use, taking up very little space. This makes them ideal for decreasing expenses in warehouses, and they&#;re easy to transport in trucks, making them suitable for return trips. These pallet cages include mesh infill sides, which improve air circulation and make product identification easier. The cupped feet make them simple to stack and move, and they&#;re compatible with forklifts and pallet racking.

Pay Attention to Sturdiness

All in all, stillage cages are a durable and cost-effective storage and transportation alternative. They are frequently constructed of galvanised steel, which is rust-resistant and good for transportation and storage in cold, dark locations. This extends their lifespan and ensures that you won&#;t have to spend money on new ones for years after your first purchase. On the other hand, steel cages are ideal for larger, heavier objects that require more room.

Does Stackability Matter for You?

As previously noted, stillages maximise space. They can be stacked with or without a pallet between the tiers. This allows you to store more goods when you have limited room, especially if you employ a pallet racking system to order the stacking. When limiting your options, check that the cage is pallet racking and forklift compliant, with a consistent 4-way entry design that works with all standard equipment. These utility storage cages for sale can accommodate any business with their one-size-fits-all option. They&#;re robust, secure, and easy to use.

Ease of Storing

Units that can be swiftly disassembled are great for reducing space and allowing cost-effective transportation. Cages with easily built and demountable cage components can reduce employee workload and risk.

Mobility and Handling

Industrial storage cages are ideal for moving huge quantities of products while maintaining some stability throughout. Stillages reduce the likelihood of your merchandise toppling over and are extremely straightforward to use. Like wooden pallets, most stillage cages are designed to be attached to forklifts or pallet jacks. When you store and manage them, you give a measure of security for the commodities inside the cage.

Safety is Key

Stillages provide peace of mind when dealing with the day-to-day stresses of work. They allow you to store heavy products safely and guarantee the safe retention of products with a variety of shapes and sizes; heavy-duty steel sides can bear continuous stress from heavy products. What does all this mean? You won&#;t have to worry about items sliding off the racks or becoming loose during transportation.

Customization

Order a custom cage based on your specific needs. A flexible cage may be snugly fitted to various heights, giving you maximum storage efficiency. When choosing, examine their quality, longevity, and how they might improve your warehouse&#;s safety. Finally, choosing the right design can transform your distribution, increasing efficiency while reducing risk. Choose cages that are durable, stackable, easy to store, compatible with standard equipment, and customizable.

A stillage is usually designed and manufactured using steel and is used for separating and carrying goods, for example to move them around a factory floor or to aid in the transportation of goods.

Stillages can benefit your business by reducing the time it takes to load and unload your products during transportation to warehouses or end users.

With customised options such as castor wheels, you could find that stillages can really improve your business&#;s operational efficiency and productivity.

Some stillages include a drop-front or top which makes it easier to add or remove products from the stillages when they are stacked, and we can also incorporate a hatch door for smaller items.

Each stillage can be fully customised to suit your needs.
