We know that in a well-organised warehouse, every inch counts. This is why stackable storage cages have become a strategic solution for organising space efficiently, reducing handling times and improving stock management. Whether you need to store industrial components, heavy materials or goods to be stored temporarily, stackable cages allow you to exploit vertical space and ensure order and safety at every stage of the work process.
Available in sturdy metal, these baskets offer versatility and durability even in complex, high-handling environments. In this article we will look at what makes them so useful, how to choose them based on your warehouse needs, and why they are a smart investment over time.
Warehouse wire mesh cages
Stackable warehouse cagesoffer a number of practical advantages that make them indispensable in industrial, logistics and commercial settings. Their main feature-stackability-makes it possible to maximize the available space, both during storage and transportation. In most cases, IC containers are stackable with three containers on a base one, in short, a column of 4 containers.
- Safety and stability. IC manufactures quality industrial containers designed to ensure perfect stability in stacking, preventing accidental tipping. Some versions also include anti-tip bars or locking systems that ensure tightness even during handling with forklifts or pallet trucks.
- Adaptability to different needs. Stackable cages are available in numerous sizes and capacities: lightweight and collapsible, ideal for logistics, manufacturing, e-commerce, retailers, etc., designed for bulky and heavy loads.
- Optimising vertical space. You can make the most of vertical space while maintaining safety and easy access by arranging the cages one on top of the other. This is especially helpful in warehouses with high ceilings or industrial racking, where maximising vertical space is crucial.
- Increased order and visibility. Stackable cages help maintain an orderly and well-organized warehouse; they are made with a mesh structure that allows quick identification of the contents without having to open them, thus speeding up picking and inventory operations. The cages are equipped with one or more doors that allow easy access to the contained material.
Key features of stackable wire mesh storage cages.
Stackable wire mesh storage cages are an ideal solution for those seeking strength, durability and practicality in storage. Here are the main features that make them essential:
- Durable material and structure
Made of electro-welded metal wires with ø between 5 and 6 mm, these cages provide excellent mechanical strength. The wire mesh ensures a strong structure capable of withstanding heavy loads without deforming or being damaged. - High Capacity
Designed to be loaded up to 1,000 kg inside, wire mesh cages are perfect for bulky and heavy materials. Their strength makes them reliable even in demanding industrial settings, where safety and durability are critical. - Stackable, safe and anti-tip bar cages
The design of the cages allows them to be stacked safely, optimizing vertical space in the warehouse. Many models are equipped with anti-tip bars or locking systems that keep the baskets stable even during handling with forklifts or pallet trucks. - Visibility and ventilation
The wire mesh structure allows immediate visibility of the contents, facilitating inspection and inventory management without the need to open the cages. In addition, the mesh allows air circulation, which is ideal for storing goods in humid environments that require ventilation. - Customization: tailor-made stackable cages
Cages can be customized to specific customer’s needs, with options such as internal dividers, lids, labeling systems and different finishes. This flexibility makes them effective logistics solutions that can be adapted to various industries.
Why choose stackable wire mesh storage cages over other solutions?
When it comes to warehouse storage and handling, there are several options on the market, but wire mesh cages offer specific advantages that often make them the best choice for demanding industrial needs.
Superior strength and durability
Unlike many solutions made of plastic or less durable materials, wire metal mesh cages provide a much longer service life even in harsh environments and with heavy loads. Their electro-welded steel construction resists impact, abrasion and adverse weather conditions without warping or breaking.
Increased safety and stability
Ease of inspection and ventilation
The wire mesh allows immediate visibility of the contents and excellent air circulation, features that facilitate goods control, maintenance, and prevention of mold or moisture, aspects often underestimated in closed containers or plastic containers.
A profitable investment in the medium to long term
Versatility of use
| Feature | Metal Wire Mesh cages (Iron) | Plastic Baskets |
|---|---|---|
