If you ship and store delicate, sensitive, or oddly shaped products regularly, you will most likely require metal or steel cage pallets. These cages can stand alone or be mounted on top of standard wooden pallets to provide wrap-around protection for the objects inside. With stackable steel pallets, you can move products safely around a warehouse or in transit without fear of damage or spillage. Sizes and shapes are available in various sizes and designs to meet specific needs. If you’re looking for metal cages and pallets, whether for short or long-term storage, here are a few things to consider to ensure you get the right cage pallets for your needs.
Rugged Construction
There are pallet cages that are made of wood and plastic, but these materials have limited applications. Metal cages and pallets are much more durable and provide maximum protection for your valuable cargo. If you buy pallet cages rather than renting them, make sure to ask for galvanized steel, as this material will resist rust and protect your investment.
Stackable Style
Stackable steel pallets allow you to ship and warehouse far more products in the same space without the need for shelving units. This saves you money and will enable you to keep your inventory mobile. Plus! You can stack your pallets wherever you need them and move them quickly if necessary. While stackability is essential, make sure your cages are also compatible with standard shelving systems.
Compatibility with Forklifts
Most designs will include this, but it’s still worth double-checking that the pallet cages you choose are forklift-compatible. Cages with a consistent four-way entry design are compatible with all standard equipment.
Simple Storage
When your steel cage pallets are not in use, they must be stored somewhere. As a result, you may want cages to be easily folded up or dismantled for efficient storage. Look for designs that require the least amount of effort to collapse. This expedites the process while also increasing overall safety.
Built-in Safety
Stackable steel pallets are available with a variety of tamper-resistant security features built into their design. Look for designs that incorporate locks and other countermeasures to keep your cargo safe if you ship sensitive products or if theft is a concern.
