Stillages, Why Your Construction Site Needs Stillages

Why Your Construction Site Needs Stillages

Most construction sites include a large number of little loose materials that are employed daily in the construction process. These can be consumables like sealants or backing rods, building materials, tiles, etc., to allow for safer load transfer around the site. A stillage cage helps solve safety risks created by tiny things dropping from a height when moving building materials around the region.

These cages enclose the products so that if pallets of goods shift or move while in transportation, employees underneath are not harmed. Furthermore, stillages are manufactured with mesh sides with a hinged door that allows employees to view what is within while yet providing optimum security and simple access after the cage has been placed where it is needed.

Hear the 3 reasons why your industry should turn to stillage containers.

Save time

Using a stillage for your goods saves you time by eliminating the need to make several journeys up, down, and around the site to transfer smaller things. Utilizing a crane or forklift, for example, to pull items up to upper decks or drop them into a pit is faster than using a hand trolley or pallet jack. 

It also eliminates the danger of employees lugging heavy loads or dragging huge, awkward things around the job site. In addition, HML storage cages can hold up to 1200 kg (safe working load) at a time, allowing for rapid and easy movement of many products.

Protect building materials

A products cage’s steel structure ensures it can withstand crushing pressures or damage from negligent forklift positioning. A stillage, for example, will endure minor impacts and safeguard the contents within when a wood pallet splinters and breaks. 

Stillage cages

are an excellent alternative for sensitive products that require utmost protection. The large opening gates on these goods cages provide plenty of room for moving products out without harming them.

Save space

Stillage containers can also be used to safeguard products when the facility is closed or keep items until they are required. The cages include stacking feet that allow them to be stacked four high. This saves space on the job site and allows irregularly shaped pallets to be caged and stacked to avoid clutter.
