Metal Mesh Sheet Stillages
Metal Mesh Sheet Stillages are versatile storage containers designed for safely handling and organising goods. Made with durable metal mesh sheet panels to sides and solid steel base, these stillages allow for clear visibility of contents while providing secure containment. They are commonly used in industries such as warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics, where items need to be stacked and stored efficiently. The mesh design ensures proper ventilation and reduces the buildup of dust or moisture, making them ideal for storing bulky, irregularly shaped, or perishable items. These stillages can often be stacked or folded when not in use, saving valuable space.
Metal Mesh Sheet Stillages also known as mesh cages and cage pallets are manufactured to the highest standards needed to withstand the rigors of everyday warehouse operations. We supply a range of options including 2 Sided, 3 Sided, 4 sided, detachable front, half drop front and extra wide Metal Mesh Sheet Stillages.
You can use Metal Mesh Sheet Stillages in the following situations:
Bulk Storage and Transport: When you need to store or transport large quantities of goods, especially bulky or irregularly shaped items, metal mesh stillages offer secure containment while allowing visibility of the contents.
Ventilation and Visibility Requirements: If the items you are handling require ventilation (e.g., perishable goods) or frequent visual inspections, the mesh design ensures airflow and easy identification of contents without needing to open the stillage.
Stacking and Space-Saving: When space is limited, stillages are ideal as they can be safely stacked, maximising vertical storage capacity. Some models are foldable, allowing easy storage when not in use.
Durability Needs: In environments like manufacturing, warehousing, or construction, where durability and load-bearing strength are essential, metal mesh stillages are robust enough to handle heavy or rough materials.
Reusable Packaging: When looking for sustainable packaging solutions, metal stillages offer a reusable option compared to single-use packaging, reducing waste and long-term costs.
Secure Containment: For industries handling loose or fragile items that require containment without risk of falling out during transport, mesh stillages provide secure enclosures.
When using Metal Mesh Sheet Stillages, it’s important to consider the following factors to ensure safety, efficiency, and proper usage:
Load Capacity: Always check the maximum load capacity of the stillage before use. Overloading can damage the stillage or cause safety hazards.
Material Type and Durability: Ensure the material of the stillage is appropriate for the environment and type of goods being handled. Metal mesh stillages are durable but may vary in strength, so confirm they can withstand the weight and nature of the contents.
Stacking Safety: If stacking multiple stillages, confirm that they are designed for stacking and that the loads are evenly distributed. Unstable stacking can cause accidents and damage goods.
Ventilation and Protection: The mesh design allows ventilation, but if you’re storing items sensitive to moisture, dust, or contaminants, consider covering the stillage or using liners to protect your goods.
Mobility and Handling: If stillages need to be frequently moved, consider their compatibility with handling equipment such as forklifts or pallet trucks. Some models come with wheels or forklift guides for easy mobility, which can improve workflow.
Folding and Space-Saving: If you need to fold and store stillages when not in use, verify that the design allows for easy folding. This can save valuable floor space, but not all stillages have this feature.
Environmental Exposure: For outdoor use or exposure to harsh environments (e.g., extreme temperatures or chemicals), ensure the stillage is treated or coated for corrosion resistance and longevity.
Accessibility: Consider how easily you need to access the contents inside the stillage. Some designs may feature drop-down sides or removable panels, making loading and unloading more efficient.
Maintenance: Regularly inspect the stillages for signs of wear, corrosion, or structural damage. Damaged stillages can compromise safety and the integrity of the goods inside.
Security of Goods: Depending on the type of goods, you may need to assess the security of items inside the stillage. While the mesh design provides visibility, it may not prevent small or valuable items from being accessed, so additional security measures might be needed.
In conclusion, Metal Mesh Sheet Stillages are an essential solution for efficient storage, handling, and transportation in various industries. Their durable metal construction ensures longevity, while the mesh design allows for excellent ventilation and visibility of contents. Ideal for handling bulky, irregularly shaped, or perishable goods, these stillages offer the flexibility of stacking, space-saving, and easy accessibility. Whether used in manufacturing, logistics, or warehousing, Metal Mesh Sheet Stillages provide a reliable, cost-effective, and sustainable way to manage inventory and optimise operational efficiency.
