What is Stillages?
Stillages are an important part of warehouse work and manufacturing life. The post pallet stillages are essential for boosting productivity in warehouses and industry, as they facilitate the safekeeping of your products and easy handling of goods.
Benefits of Using Stillages
Most stillages units are manufactured to be stackable to maximise floor space as much as possible. Offering flexible bulk storage, they also allow your space to become more organised, making it easier to find products when you need them most.
In addition to this, industrial and metal stillages also help to reduce the time it takes to load and unload items or products during transportation, making them and incredibly cost-effective storage and transportation option for many businesses.
Safety
Stillage cages are designed for safety. They ensure the safe retaining of different shapes and sizes of goods. For instance, some have heavy-duty, durable steel sides that can withstand prolonged force from heavy goods, creating a safe working environment in the warehouse, storage facility or shop floor.
Mobility and Handling
Stillages also allow for incredible mobility and handling. They stop your products from falling over while remaining super easy to manoeuvre. Most stillage cages are also designed to attach to forklifts or pallet jacks, further enhancing their mobility.
However, it is still possible to use stillages without forklifts. This is because some stillage models come with wheels that make it easy to move loads in the absence of a forklift driver.
Stacking
Stillages can be stacked, either with a pallet between the stack levels or without. Whichever way you choose, this allows you to store more goods even with limited space.
Metal Cage Stillages
Most metal cage stillages have solid sides or mesh steel as support sheets. However, it is not uncommon to find some with a combination of both.
They are commonly used to hold small products like clumps and strut supports but can also be customised for larger items.
Hypacage
A hypacage is a stillage used for handling, moving, and storing large items. Despite that, it is relatively lightweight due to the presence of a wire mesh exterior. The wire steel mesh walls are also fully compactable through folding, allowing you to store the stillage without occupying too much space.
The average standard Euro hypacage also tends to have side hatches that can be lowered for easier loading and unloading. This has made the hypacage one of the most versatile and convenient options around. They also have a reduced risk of injury and product damage.
A-frame Stillages
A-frame stillages are used to move and store large flat items. They feature a cross beam between two legs for support, a design that ensures the load is protected from damage.
As a result, A-frame stillages are popular in the glass industry and other industries that manoeuvre fragile goods. The glass is usually strapped to the inwardly leaning A-frame to reduce the chances of breakage during transportation.
Profile Stillage
Profile stillages feature a simple design that allows them to hold items upwards without damaging them. Nonetheless, they can't store fragile items like glass as safely as A-frame stillages do. Instead, they are more commonly used for materials like extruded plastic and aluminium.
Post Pallet Stillages
These resemble traditional steel pallets in many aspects, the only extra being that they have posts attached to them, hence the name.
The posts are placed on each corner to make it easy to stack multiple stillages. This reduces the amount of space needed for storage while preventing the products from being damaged by the weight above.
Warehouses and Distribution Centers These facilities are major users of pallet cages. Cages with a positive locking base design allow safe storage on standard Australian pallet racking, reducing the risk of items falling from heights. They also enhance picking and packing efficiency, eliminating the need for rewrapping and strapping pallets, and contribute to quicker dispatch times in a hub-and-spoke distribution model.
Logistics Stillages and pallet cages are extensively used in logistics applications, where they streamline product handling and reduce the use of single-use plastics. They not only save time but also contribute to a greener environment.
Construction Sites Stillages are used for the storage of metal pegs, timber stakes, temporary fencing components, safety equipment, generators, and other common items found on construction sites. Their robust metal construction is ideal for the harsh conditions of construction environments.
Manufacturing Plants Manufacturing plants benefit from stillage systems by efficiently organising parts and materials. These systems have evolved to handle various challenges, from materials sourcing to distribution on the factory floor, improving lean processes and overall efficiency.
Maintenance Facilities and Workshops Maintenance teams use pallet cage systems to organise and store equipment and materials ahead of planned maintenance tasks. The consolidation of items improves efficiency and ensures secure storage with lockable designs.
Customisable Stillage Options
Stillage Removable Dividers
These stillages are the most commonly used; however, we offer many different customizable options such as stillages featuring removable dividers which makes it ideal for multiple smaller items, and dividers can be removed if you would prefer to store larger items.
Stillage Forklift Guides
Some stillages also include forklift guides which make the transportation of products via a forklift much safer and easier. The pallet is evenly balanced, giving the forklift driver much more control over the stillage's load.
Stillage with Castors
Stillages can also be fitted with 360-degree castor wheels instead of our standard fixed leg, making the stillage much easier to move around the warehouse. Even better, stillages with castor wheels allow you to move goods around your factory or warehouse without the need for a forklift – a truly flexible and versatile stillage solution.
Metal Post Stillage
Metal post pallet stillages are a great durable alternative to wooden pallets. They are similar to our bin stillages but metal post pallet stillages have no sides and are used across all industries for transportation and storage.
Stillage Trolley
If you don't have a forklift, have limited licensed forklift operators, or are struggling to move goods around your factory or warehouse, our stillage trolley is designed and manufactured for ease of movement. We've improved and streamlined systems for our customers' businesses with this innovative yet simple stillage option.
Stillage with Hatch Door
Storing smaller items in your stillage? When stillages are stacked, smaller items can be hard to reach. Our new hatch door allows stillages to be stacked safely but allows easy access to the smaller products you're storing.
How to Choose the Right Stillage for Your Business
A good stillage should offer your precious cargo maximum protection. So depending on how fragile your material is, you ought to go for steel pallet cages.
Step 1: Know Your Needs
Your initial step should be a thorough assessment of your own requirements and desired outcomes. The items you need to store or transport, the available space in your warehouse, and any unique requirements for managing or running the business should be considered. Once you have a solid understanding on your requirements, selecting the best metal stillage containers will be an easy task.
Step 2: Find Out the Load Capacity
Once you have a clear idea of what you need to transport or store, you can know the exact amount of space and load capacity required. Using this information, you may determine the load capacities of your stillage containers. It's important to think about how much weight the containers will have to hold without breaking or becoming unsafe.
Step 3: Consider Material and Construction
Consider the materials and construction methods used in making the stillage containers. Metals like steel and aluminium and synthetic materials like plastic are often used interchangeably. Steel shipping containers are built to last, making them useful for a broad variety of tasks. Focus on what is practical and within your budget while making choices.
Step 4: Assess Accessibility and Handling
Planning the access to and transportation among the stillage containers at your storage facility is essential. Drop-down gates, removable panels, and access points are all good examples of features to keep in mind if you want to make loading and unloading easier. You'll need unobstructed access to stack the containers and use forklifts and other handling equipment. Moving containers throughout the warehouse quickly and efficiently is essential.
Step 5: Evaluate Stackability and Space Efficiency
If your warehouse is small, you must evaluate the stillage containers for their stackability and efficiency. Look for stackable containers that will not break down as more are stacked on top of them. To make the most of the available vertical space, some storage containers are constructed with interlocking parts that provide stability when stacked. Options that fold up or collapse for compact storage are also an excellent choice.
Step 6: Consider Versatility and Compatibility
Determine if the stillage containers are flexible enough to integrate with your current setup. Find containers that may be used in a variety of ways and still complement the layout of your warehouse. Having a compatible pallet and racking system can boost efficiency and reduce the possibility of delays.
Step 7: Compare Costs and Quality
Finally, research and compare the costs and quality of various stillage vessels. Choosing the least expensive alternative may seem appealing, but it could end up costing more in the end. Check out customer reviews and inquire for free samples to determine the manufacturer's or supplier's reliability. Comparing prices and available options might help you find a good balance between price and quality.

4)Agriculture
In agriculture, stillages play a role in the safe storage and transport of perishable items like fruits and vegetables. Their open design allows for proper ventilation.
Q: Why your business should be using stillages?
Q: Why use a stillage?
Stillages are also a very safe way of transporting goods without needing to load or unload them at regular intervals. That means saved time for your business, and a much safer working environment for your employees.
Usually, stillages are stacked up on top of each other so that they use up less space than other forms of container. It's a good way of ensuring minimal risk of damage to the contents of the stillage, and without any risk of spillage disrupting your working environment.
Q: How much do stillages cost?
However, cost is just one consideration; safety, design, longevity, compliance, and efficiency gains are equally crucial factors when improving industrial storage systems.
Q: What kind of stillages are there?
In the glass industry, an A-frame stillage is used to support sheets of glass for transport safely. An A-frame stillage is used to bear weight in a safe manner with a cross beam between two legs providing support. The glass is strapped to the inwardly leaning A-frame so that there's less chance of a crack or break during transportation.
A profile stillage is commonly used for material such as aluminium extrusion or extruded plastic. It's a simple way of holding items upwards without damaging them, but without the concerns of fragile material such as in the case of A-frames.
Post-pallet stillages are a lot like traditional pallets, but they have posts attached to them. Typically placed at each corner, these posts make it easy to stack multiple stillages on top of each. Without these posts, the product could be damaged from the weight above. They're an effective way of minimising the amount of space used, without damaging the materials.
Certain stillages can have castor wheels added to them in order to make them easier to move around the warehouse. Circumventing the need for a forklift is useful if you have relatively few forklift operators.
Elsewhere, a simple stillage which looks more like a large metal box can be used as a bin or recycling unit. In the case of industrial waste, it means minimal interaction between workers and the contents of the bin.
Similarly, stillages can be used to store casks or kegs of beer. In this case, they're simply upright metal racks. Not all stillages have to have complicated designs to be effective.
These are just some of the most commonly used types of stillage. Numerous other industry-specific kinds can also be produced, such as ones for transporting scaffolding, or even simply moving many parcels safely.
