From drop-front or solid steel stillages to castor wheels, partitioning or stacking feet, Metal Cages & Pallets’ team of engineering specialists has created a versatile and customisable range of stillage products that will suit your business. Still not sure which stillage will be best for your business? Call our team for expert advice.
We have designed and produced bespoke stillage designs for many customers, incorporating features to create truly unique products such as removable pallet legs, fork lift guides and removable partitioning
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 directly to end users.
Quality stillages will improve operational efficiency and productivity in your factory or warehouse. Our stillages are often manufactured to be stackable, maximising factory floor space and helping your factory to become more organised, making it easier to find the products you want when you need them.
Some stillages include a drop-front or top which makes it easier to add or remove products from the stillages when they are stacked. For smaller items, we incorporate a hatch door so you can quickly access what you need.
Each stillage by Metal Cages & Pallets has an optional galvanised finish, making our metal stillages even more durable so they can withstand heavy use and loads.
We pride ourselves on our bespoke metal stillage manufacture. Stillages can be customised to meet the needs of your business; whether you need more flexibility in your factory systems, safer storage or more secure transportation, Metal Cages & Pallets offers a wide range of options to help you create a product that suits your needs.
