What are sheet & mesh steel stillages used for?

Sheet metal stillages and mesh steel stillages are manufactured in many different configurations. Sheet metal stillages feature solid steel sides, protecting your stillage’s contents from product loss during handling or storage. Mesh steel stillages are used similarly for storage and movement of larger products, while the overall stillage is lighter owing to the mesh, rather than solid steel, sides.

Commonly used for the storage, stacking, loading and transportation of construction products, sheet metal and mesh steel stillages can be made easier to move by customising your stillages with forklift pockets, or even castor wheels. Stackable to 4 units hight, sheet metal and mesh steel stillages are used by industries as diverse as logistics, construction, manufacturing, engineering and forestry.
