Types of Roll Containers
Two-sided Roll Container
With metal wire mesh on two sides of the cage, these are most suitable for stocking lightweight items that are unlikely to fall. Two-sided cages give you good access to the goods from multiple angles, meaning they're very flexible for storing and stocking lightweight boxes and goods.
Three-sided Roll Container
Three-sided containers are wire mesh at the back as well as the sides, providing more support against falls and damage to stock. As such they can be used for heavier items while still providing easy front loading and unloading access.
Four-sided Roll Container
With a closable (and sometimes lockable) front door, these roll containers are ideal for storing goods that need a high level of protection and for moving heavier goods that have the potential to fall.
Full Security Roll Container
Similar to four-sided roll containers, these have front-door access and a large load capacity, meaning they are suited to heavy goods and long-term storage. It also allows you to store high-value goods with the ability to lock the door to protect contents.
Jumbo Roll Container
A large storage capacity makes jumbo roll containers ideal for storing and moving bulk items.
Demountable Roll Container
Demountable roll containers come with a storage section that can be removed for more convenient long-term storage.
Nestable Roll Container
If saving space in your storage or warehouse area is important, then nestable roll containers could be a great option. These are containers that slot together when not in use, meaning several units can be stored in a small space. It's important to get nestable containers of the same size and brand to ensure maximum space-saving potential.

These containers can be used to move products back and forth and in any other way in rough conditions with no wear and tear to them. This is the major benefit of these containers.
Complete Protection of the Items
Another important thing that needs to be achieved with the containers is that these should provide complete protection to the items kept inside them. No matter in what situation you use these roll cage trolleys, it will provide complete safety and security to the items kept inside it with no harm to them.
This is why they are also called rolling security cages and are widely used for different purposes. Thus, the security they impart is another major benefit of these cages.
Simple to Handle

Size of Roll Container: You need to choose a container size. A variety of sizes are available in a standard container, from small and compact for light domestic users to jumbo for large businesses and everything in between!
You'll want to think about how much space you have and how often you plan to use it before deciding which size is best for your needs.
Material of Roll Container: What material should it be made out of? The most common materials used in these containers are plastic and metal. Plastic is cheaper, but it doesn't last as long as metal. If you are going to use the material only occasionally, then plastic is better.
Storage Location: Where will this container live? If it's going outdoors or in an environment that may get wet, then metal would be a better option than plastic because water can damage the surface of the container over time if not properly cared for.
Price: When you are looking to buy a new roll container to buy, be sure to consider the different prices and features. Only buy something if it solves a problem or helps you reach your goal. Don't purchase things just because they are the cheapest option.
How do you use roll containers?
01.Loading and Unloading Safety
One of the main causes of injuries and accidents in warehouses is the high rate of loading and unloading goods from roll containers, without employees taking breaks. Sometimes the demands are very high, which means that employees work extra hours to increase warehouse efficiency.
Continuous lifting can cause muscle pain and injuries. It is therefore important that employees take breaks during work, besides stretching exercises to allow their muscles to relax. This will maintain their health and prevent any kind of injury.
It is also necessary to use good quality roll containers, which ensures safe loading and unloading. By following these simple steps, you will avoid injuries and accidents in the workplace. That is why safety instructions should be observed during loading and unloading tasks in the warehouse.
02.Secure The Roll Container Sides with Fastening Straps
03.Safe Movement of Roll Containers
Employees should be properly trained in moving rolling cage trolleys in the workplace. Although the containers can be pulled out to their destination, this causes a high level of impact stress that can cause loads and injuries to the mesh truck operator. Therefore, rolling containers should be pushed around the workplace only at walking speed, so that they do not gain excessive momentum, which could hinder their sudden stopping time in an emergency. Remember also that the brake should be locked before loading - this will immobilize the truck during loading.
Employers should also ensure that only one person manually controlling the truck operates one container at a time. In large warehouses, to save time, electric trolleys are used, which can transport several pieces at a time. However, you still need to take care when transporting more roll containers.
04.Slopes and Rough Area
05.Wheels as A Point of Contact
Wheels on roller cages aim to move smoothly across the floor of warehouses, factories and stores, but must be well maintained to avoid safety problems. Because these parts are in constant use, they can easily be damaged or the bearings can wear, causing friction of a single wheel in the roll container, affecting the movement of the unit as a whole.
If the roll container does not move smoothly, this can cause problems for the operator because then the movement of the container is unpredictable, which can lead to safety problems, e.g. hands, feet and limbs can become trapped between the container and other surfaces, such as the sides of another roll container or its shelves. In every company using roll containers, a regular maintenance schedule should be used. Wheels of each trolley should be checked for defects, and any problematic wheels immediately replaced.
06.Don't Overload Containers
One of the most common reasons for accidents with roll containers in warehouses is overloading. Often, employees are tempted to overload containers to get the job done faster. However, this should never be done.
It is better to make the trip twice with fewer goods and be safer than one trip that is overloaded, which creates a dangerous situation. Always comply with load limits. Also, it is safer to go below the maximum load capacity of the container than to go beyond it. Remember also how to arrange the goods. We pack the heaviest things at the bottom, lighter at the top, then the distribution of goods in the roll container is appropriate.
How to Maintain Your Rolling Storage Containers?
Regular Cleaning
One of the simplest yet most effective maintenance practices for your rolling storage containers is regular cleaning. Accumulated dirt, dust, and debris could speed up the wear and tear of any specific material. Follow these steps for thorough cleaning:
1)Empty the container: Remove all items from the container, ensuring it's completely empty.
2)Remove loose debris: Brush or vacuum away loose dirt and debris from both the interior and exterior of the container.
3)Wash with mild detergent: Use a mixture of mild detergent and warm water to clean the container's surfaces. Scrub with a soft brush or cloth, paying extra attention to corners and seams.
4)Rinse and dry: Rinse the roll container thoroughly to remove any detergent residue. Allow it to air dry completely before use to prevent the growth of mold and mildew.
Lubrication of Wheels and Casters
The wheels and casters are critical components of any roll container and cage trolley, and they require regular lubrication to function smoothly. Here's how to do it:
Inspect for wear: Check the wheels and casters for signs of wear, such as cracks, flat spots, or loose fittings. Replace any damaged components promptly.
Apply lubricant: Use a suitable lubricant (usually silicone-based) to lubricate the wheel bearings and casters. Ensure that all moving parts are adequately covered. Lubrication reduces friction, prolonging the life of these components.
Check for Loose Bolts and Fasteners
Regularly inspect the container's frame, handles, and any additional attachments for loose bolts or fasteners. Tighten them as necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the container. Loose parts can lead to instability and potential accidents.
Rust Prevention
Metal rolling storage containers are susceptible to rust, which can compromise their durability and appearance. To prevent rust:
①Apply rust-resistant coatings
Consider applying rust-resistant coatings or paints to the container's exterior. This provides an additional barrier against moisture and corrosion.
②Keep containers dry
Store your cage trolley in a dry environment and avoid prolonged exposure to rain or high humidity.
③Use rust inhibitors
Inserting rust inhibitor products or desiccants inside the container can help control moisture levels and prevent rust formation.
Look Out for Any Damage
Frequent inspections are crucial for identifying and addressing any damage promptly. Look for signs of dents, bends, or cracks in the container's structure. Damaged containers should be repaired or replaced to prevent further deterioration.
Know the Load Capacity
Respect the manufacturer's load capacity recommendations to avoid overloading your rolling storage containers. Excessive weight can lead to structural damage, wheel or caster failure, and accidents. Ensure that employees who use these containers are aware of the load limits and adhere to them.
Safe Handling and Transportation
Proper handling and transportation practices can significantly extend the life of your rolling storage containers:
1)Avoid rough terrain
Whenever possible, use these containers on smooth surfaces and avoid rough or uneven terrain that can put unnecessary stress on the wheels and casters.
2)Use appropriate lifting techniques
When loading or unloading heavy items, use proper lifting techniques and avoid dropping items into the container, which can cause impact damage.
3)Secure the load
Use straps, ropes, or bungee cords to secure the load within the container, preventing it from shifting during transportation.
Summing Up
Maintaining your rolling storage containers like a pro is essential for their longevity and safe operation. Regular cleaning, lubrication, rust prevention, and damage inspection are vital practices that should become routine. By following these maintenance tips, you can ensure that your rolling storage containers from HML Group remain reliable assets in your workplace or storage facility for years to come. Proper care not only extends their lifespan but also contributes to a safer and more efficient work environment.
