Stillages

Stillages are a vital part of everyday life in warehouses and other factory-type settings. Working as cages, they are used for separating, lifting and storing goods of all shapes and sizes. In order to work effectively and keep goods safe, metal stillages need to be well-made, durable and sturdy. Often made from metals such as steel, they help you to maximise your storage space.

One benefit is their mesh sides, enabling your team to see exactly the contents of the stillage. Working primarily as cages, stillages can be customised and accessorised depending on the needs of your business. Many are also designed to be stackable, collapsible and some have hatches, loading ramps and dividers to make them even more useful.

BlueTrolley has been designing and creating the best quality manual handling products since 1995. We provide manual handling solutions to some of the biggest retailers in the world and are equally happy supplying to smaller companies as we relish the challenge of a variety of projects. We are entirely based in the UK which means we can offer fantastic prices to our customers, with swift turnaround times as there’s no waiting around for overseas deliveries.

 

What are the different types of stillages?

Different varieties of stillages are suitable for different jobs, workplaces and sectors. We offer a large selection of to ensure there’s one for every organisation’s needs.

  • Metal: Metal mesh cage stillages are created with sides of either solid sheet metal or wire mesh. They are ideal for stacking up smaller or bulkier-shaped objects as they protect them from falling from the sides.
  • Gitterboxes: Gitterboxes are incredibly useful for storing heavy items and are particularly popular in the automotive industry, as well as all types of warehouses and factories. Gitterboxes are often stackable and have accessories such as drop-down gates to allow employees easy, safe access to the items inside.
  • A-Frame Stillages: These are designed for the transportation of sheet material such as metal. From the side, they look like a capital A due to the two slanted storage areas. They can be designed with a variety of features such as wheels or forklift points to enable easy manoeuvring.
  • Pallet Stillages: These are designed as large-scale trolleys or cages and are used to organise and contain all sorts of products. They are often collapsible so can be packed away when not in use, saving you precious space in your workplace.
  • Slab Buggy: Sometimes known as slab carts or slab lifters, slab buggies are ideal for transporting large, delicate materials such as granite, glass and other types of stone. They are designed for stability and have a slanted panel to enable the material to rest safely against while in transit.
