What is a Stillage Cage?

Different Types of Stillages

Here are some of the most common types of stillages available in the market—

Metal stillages— These stillages are generally designed using mesh steel sides, solid sheet metal sides or a mix of both. They are capable of holding small items such as supports, clamps, etc.

Warehouse cages—Warehouse cages are a highly adaptable stillage that may be used in a multitude of sectors, including small and large shipping organizations, processing facilities, supermarkets, and more.

Stationary or wheeled stillages are both options for this type of stillage. A warehouse cage with wheels is a cost-effective option to employing a forklift for moving large volumes of heavy goods throughout the warehouse. As a result, personnel performance is enhanced, and the risk of harm from heavy lifting is reduced.

Frame stillages—A frame stillages are often used for storing huge, flat goods like glass or wood panels. They are made to properly secure heavy-duty materials. They prevent items from being damaged, and those with wheels are great for moving big or fragile items.

Automotive stillages— Automobile stillages come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but they are all designed to be used in a detailed part of the production, such as hauling windscreen glass or shifting huge quantities of automobile parts around a factory.

Post-Pallet Stillages— These are identical to standard pallets. The only difference is that they have posts affixed to them — usually at each corner of a rectangular-shaped or square-shaped pallet.

Pallets with posts can be stacked, making greater use of space than a standard wooden pallet, which may fall down if the goods are too hefty for it to carry. Stacking post pallet is a very common product for warehouses with limited floor space.
