A supply chain is only ever as efficient as the way its goods are stored and moved. Wooden pallets split, shrink-wrap fails and loose components get damaged in transit — and every one of those small failures adds cost, delay and waste. Purpose-built metal stillages take the guesswork out of handling: they protect your parts,…

A warehouse has two assets it cannot afford to lose: the people who work in it and the goods that move through it. Get the handling equipment wrong and both are exposed at once — a poorly loaded stillage can injure an operative and write off a pallet of stock in the same incident. Get…
Off-the-shelf stillages and cages work well for standard loads, but many operations handle parts, panels or products that simply do not fit a stock footprint. That is where a custom-built container earns its keep. A stillage designed around your load, your handling equipment and your storage space moves more product per square metre, protects goods…

Heras fence panels are a form of temporary, free-standing mesh fencing used to secure sites and control access wherever a permanent perimeter is not practical. If you handle these panels in any volume, the real challenge is not the fencing itself but how you store, stack and transport it safely between jobs. This guide explains…
If you buy, hire or manufacture steel stillages, cages or metal pallets, one question comes up again and again: which regulations actually apply, and what does compliant equipment look like? It is an important question. A stillage is not just a storage box – it is work equipment, it is often a lifted load, and…
A requirement of many of our clients is that their stillages are load tested. This is a very logical and sensible approach to ensuring that both product and personnel are protected from any risk of damage and injury.
Stillages are used for the safe storage of goods, they are often stacked on top of each other…
Value engineering is the discipline of getting the most function out of a product for the least cost, without compromising quality, safety or performance. For steel stillages and cages, it means designing to what the job actually demands, rather than over-building "just in case" or paying for material and labour that add weight and expense…
A management system is defined as a set of processes and techniques used to ensure that an entity fulfils all of its duties in order to accomplish its goals. We can see a growing trend in a lot of corporate or family-owned organisations from various industries, such as service, manufacturing, and engineering, that are looking…
Getting stillage dimensions right is the single most important step in specifying handling equipment that actually works for your product, your forklifts and your vehicles. A stillage that is a few millimetres too tall to stack, too wide to load two-abreast on a trailer, or fitted with fork pockets that do not match your truck…
