Can I customise my stillage?

The stillages our MC&P team designs, manufactures and sells are highly adaptable and versatile. Whether you’re buying “off the shelf” from our online stillage, pallet, cage and loading ranges or you need to customise a stillage to meet your operational needs, MC&P supports your organisation with sturdy, tough and strong stillages that are built to last.

How can I start to customise my stillage?

Starting from our basic solid-sided metal stillage design, we’ll work with you to custom-design bespoke multi-sided stillages, cages or pallets, which can be accessed by whoever, whenever they need it.

Choose from a variety of standard sizes on our stillages, pallets and cages website which we have either in stock, or which our factory in Merseyside is tooled up to produce with a quick turnaround – check the drop-down menu on each stillage product page to choose from a range of size options.

Can’t find the size, shape or design of stillage you need? Use our custom stillage enquiry form to specify your custom stillage requirements, and we’ll design a space-efficient storage system to suit.

We can customise a stillage from almost anything, from a rough sketch and a list of requirements, to a CAD model that you’ve produced. Our stillage design team uses these to design and engineer a customised stillage using tough, robust materials that will withstand the demands of your workplace.

Can I choose from custom stillage options?

Yes, you can choose from a wide range of customised options from MC&P’s biggest stillage range. Browse the website or contact us to customise your stillage to suit your needs, including:

• Buy off the shelf through our website, or ask us to design a customised stillage to suit your bespoke needs
• Safely handle your stillage by customising with fork lift pockets and guides, or tough, sturdy castor wheels
• Custom-design a stillage to accommodate products and materials to suit your operations – any size, any shape!
• CAD designs agreed with you before we build your custom stillage, allowing you to customise your stillage further if needed

MC&P customises stillages for customers in almost any sector, from nuclear, forestry and civil engineering to environmental, defence, agriculture, retail and engineering. Can we customise a stillage for you? Just ask!

Can I customise the shape & size of my stillage?

Maybe your workplace has a production area where components need to be accessed while stillages are stored, or your stillage needs to accommodate components, parts or materials of a particular shape or size. MC&P’s engineers can customise your stillage’s shape and size to suit your operational needs.

Can I customise my stillage to be more secure?

When you’re working with and storing valuable items and equipment, it’s wise to control who has access to them, and be sure that they are kept out of sight when not in use.

Add extra security to your stillage by customising a lockable stillage. You may choose to customise your stillage by incorporating any number of secure elements; lock the whole unit, or have just one or a few secure compartments in a bigger unit.

Our illustration shows a typical design produced by our in-house customised stillage team, producing customised stillage, pallet and cage products that are built around your exact needs.

How can I customise my stillage for ease of handling?

The most obvious way of customising a stillage to make it easier to handle is to add a set of heavy-duty castor wheels. Many of our stillages can be customised to add tough, 360-lockable castor wheels which enable stillages, pallets and cages to be moved without a forklift or telehandler.

For safe mechanical lifting, customise your stillage with fork lift guides. These enable you to safely position your fork lift, supporting safe and efficient workplace practice that protects your people. Fork lifting not enough? Customise a crane lifting stillage from MC&P for heavy-duty, LOLER-certified stillages suitable for use in construction, manufacturing and other demanding workplaces.

Can I customise my stillage to divide into sections?

Yes, you can customise MC&P stillages to divide into internal sections. Stillages with a single storage area can be used to carry a single, larger component, part or product, or multiples of the same, smaller materials and components.

But if you want to store multiple different components or parts within the same stillage, internal dividing sheets create separate sections for even more space-efficient storage! Choose to customise your stillage to create two or four separate sections for the segregated storage of multiple parts and components without taking up any more floor space in your workplace.

Perhaps you need to customise your stillage to hold and carry large sheet material or boards? In this case, an A-frame stillage or trolley will safely hold double the number of items of a single-sided unit. Widely used in wood and metal fabrication, and in glass processing and manufacturing, A-frame stillages can again be customised as fixed, or can be handled more easily with the addition of castors.

Can I customise my stillage to make better use of floor space?

Many of our stillages are designed to be stackable, which makes efficient use of factory or workplace floor space and helps to organise your production lines. With customised stillage options such as castor wheels, fork lift guides and access doors, you could find that stillages will really improve your business’s operational efficiency and productivity.

The answer to “Can I customise my stillage?” is a big yes – our UK stillage factory designs and engineers customised stillages to safely store, hold and move pretty much anything. Whether you buy your stillages off the shelf on the website with customised options, or you ask us to design something completely bespoke, you can customise your stillage with MC&P.

What is a stillage?

We very often get asked the straightforward question ‘what is a stillage’?

A stillage is usually designed and manufactured to separate and carry goods, and might be used to move them around a factory floor, to move goods into a loading area or to contain products during transit.

After all, whatever you manufacture or store at your business, it’s likely that many of the components you use will last longer, and be kept in much better condition, if they’re kept in a solid container which can protect them from damage caused by sudden movement or impact.

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