Engineered stillages for AMR and AGV integration.
As the UK manufacturing sector moves toward Factory 5.0, where humans and machines collaborate for safer, smarter production. Lowe Stillages & Cages designs and manufactures certified stillage and cage systems that integrate seamlessly with Autonomous Mobile Robots (AMRs) and Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs).
Built in Staffordshire and compliant with UKCA, ISO 9001, and EN 1090-1, our systems provide the secure, precision-engineered interfaces these automated platforms rely on to move, lift, and store materials across advanced manufacturing sites.
Why stillages are the foundation of Factory 5.0 logistics.
Automation has transformed the way materials move through modern plants. Whether you’re deploying guided vehicles or fully autonomous robots, the handling interface, the stillage itself must meet the same engineering standards as the machine beneath it.
Lowe engineers stillages to withstand repetitive, automated handling cycles while protecting both product and equipment. Every unit is CAD-modelled to the AMR or AGV specification, validated through finite element analysis (FEA) and proof-tested for load stability and collision resistance.
The result, a compliant, long-life system that keeps automated logistics safe, efficient and traceable.
UKCA-certified integration
Seamless automation fit
Sensor-safe steelwork
Heavy-duty, repeatable performance
Precision interfaces for automated movement.
Each cage or stillage designed for an AMR or AGV must interface perfectly with the robot’s lifting system. Lowe’s fabrication team works directly from OEM specifications, whether your fleet includes MiR, Omron, Locus or bespoke in-house platforms.
Every design incorporates lift slots, guide channels, or indexing points to guarantee alignment on every automated approach, keeping uptime high and maintenance low.
Designed for the factories of the future.
As Industry 5.0 reshapes production, collaboration between people, robots, and infrastructure demands dependable, certified material handling systems. Lowe’s AMR-ready stillages help UK manufacturers achieve:
Higher throughput through fully automated logistics loops.
Reduced manual handling risk with robot-compatible designs.
Traceable compliance for HSE and audit requirements.
Future scalability as fleets expand or layouts evolve.
