The UK’s Biggest Stillage Range
The UK’s Biggest Stillage Range
Industry and manufacture is all about keeping things moving, right from the start of production to completion, and moving the finished goods out to a customer.
But most factories, warehouses, sites and manufacturing units couldn’t operate efficiently without having the right kit to hand to store, organise and move the parts, tools and components they need to get the job done.
What is the UK’s biggest stillage range by MC&P used for?
Because they are made of strong, box section steel, stillages by MC&P need only a little more space than the products they are designed to hold.
Many workplaces use them for storing individual components of a piece of machinery, and then unload and transport them to the part of the site where they are needed. Drop-front stillages allow easy access to stored products while stillages are stacked, and other custom features such as forklift guides allow for safe lifting by forklift trucks, and adapted designs of our standard stillages allow for the safe transport of pipes, individually-fabricated sections and materials.
Pretty much any industry or business which needs to store large quantities of raw materials or finished products and keep them stable and organised will benefit from MC&P’s products, which make up the UK’s biggest stillage range.
Even in the unlikely event that we don’t already manufacture a stillage perfectly suited for storing and handling your parts or products, we will use our four decades of experience and knowledge to customise or design from scratch a stillage perfectly suited to your products, the space you have available, and how you’ll use your stillage.

Frequently Asked Stillage Questions
A stillage – also known as a cage or pallet - is a piece of apparatus designed to hold almost anything firmly in a set position, usually off the ground, or in a place where it can be easily reached when it is needed. For many raw materials and complete pieces of equipment, there are definite advantages to stopping them from coming into contact with the floor, and protecting them from damage.
The word ‘stillage’ has its roots in the German/Dutch word ‘stellen’, simply meaning ‘to put or place’. So at its most basic, a stillage is a piece of equipment on which you would put anything that you want to stay firmly in place, but which needs to be kept off the ground. One example where this is widely used is in brewing, where a stillage is a purpose-built frame for storing beer barrels. In this context, the stillage can consist of either a single, static frame, or have a mechanism built into it which allows the barrels to be tilted forwards, so that beer can be poured straight out of them.
Modern industries have many more uses for a stillage, however, and many factories for example will store machinery or parts in them. This keeps them tidy and organised, but also, in the case of a wheeled stillage, means they can still be transported to wherever the contents are needed. It’s a bit like having the contents of your toolbox available with you wherever you need to take it – but on a much bigger scale!
A major reason for the popularity of MC&P’s stillage range is that our products can be made to hold just about anything. Stillages, cages and pallet-holders Made in Britan and dispatched from our factory in St Helens, Merseyside all comply with LOLER (Lifting Operations and Lifting Equipment Regulations) requirements, meaning they are designed with not just ease of use in mind, but also the safety of everyone using them, whatever their level of experience.
Can’t find what you need? Even though we have an extensive range of off-the-shelf stillage designs, many of which are lockable for added security, we also offer a fixed-price custom stillage design service. This means we can work to a customer’s own designs, or adapt one of our existing products if they don’t meet their exact needs.
Our long track record of working in partnership with clients in diverse industries and sectors has resulted in us developing a range of practical and effective stillage designs that are as strong as they are streamlined in their design. We have products in our range which can safely store individual items weighing up to 1,000kg.
