CAGES AND STILLAGES
Cages and stillages
Cages and stillages are one of the simplest ways to keep loose stock, awkward items and bulk goods organised in a busy warehouse. If you’ve ever dealt with materials that refuse to stay where they should, you’re in the right place.
At Rackman, we supply durable cages and stillages built for real warehouse conditions. Designed to keep goods contained, protected and easy to move, they help businesses stay organised, improve safety and make better use of available space.
Whether you’re storing parts, materials, stock or components, the right storage setup keeps everything where it should be and makes day-to-day operations a whole lot easier.
What are cages and stillages?
Cages and stillages are heavy-duty storage units designed to contain and transport goods safely within industrial environments.
They’re used across warehouses, workshops, distribution centres and manufacturing sites to keep stock organised and accessible while reducing damage and clutter.
Storage cages
Wire or mesh cages are ideal for holding smaller or loose items that need to stay together. Products like our galvanised wire cages and wire pallet cages provide visibility of contents while keeping goods secure and contained. Many designs are stackable and forklift-friendly, making them easy to integrate into existing warehouse layouts.
Stillages
Stillages are more robust, open-frame structures designed for heavier or bulkier items. Our stackable HDG stillages and heavy-duty mesh stillage cages are rated for demanding use, with options supporting loads around 1000kg UDL. They’re built to handle serious weight while allowing safe stacking and transport.
Both options help maintain order on the floor and support safer, more efficient handling of goods.
Built tough for Australian warehouses
Warehouse gear needs to handle daily use, not just look good in a catalogue. Rackman cages and stillages are manufactured from heavy-duty steel and finished with galvanised, electro-galvanised or hot-dip galvanised treatments suited to Australian conditions.
Key features across the range include:
• Heavy-duty steel construction
• Stackable designs for vertical storage
• Forklift entry points for easy movement
• Galvanised or coated finishes for long-term wear resistance
• High load ratings, including 1000kg UDL options
• Secure containment for loose or bulk goods
In short, they’re designed to take a beating and keep doing the job.
Keep your warehouse organised
A tidy warehouse is both easier and safer to work in. Cages and stillages help keep stock contained and reduce clutter on the floor, making it easier for teams to move safely around the site.
Using structured storage units can help:
• Contain loose or awkward items
• Reduce trip hazards and clutter
• Improve stock visibility
• Protect goods from damage
• Support safer manual handling
• Maintain clear aisles and work zones
When everything has a place, the whole operation runs better. One of the biggest advantages of cages and stillages is their stackability. Being able to store units vertically allows warehouses to increase capacity without expanding floor space or reworking the entire layout.
In high-cost industrial areas, making the most of your existing space just makes sense.
Suitable for all sorts of industries
Cages and stillages are used across a wide range of industries where reliable, secure storage is needed.
Common applications include:
• Warehousing and distribution
• Manufacturing and assembly
• Automotive and parts storage
• Construction materials
• Retail stockrooms
• Logistics and freight operations
If goods need to be stored, moved or contained safely within your facility, cages and stillages are a practical, proven solution.

FAQ about stillages and cages
Storage cages are usually mesh or wire units designed to keep smaller or loose items contained while still letting you see what’s inside. Stillages are the heavier-duty option, built to handle bulkier or weightier loads and often used for stacking or transport around the warehouse.
Cages and stillages are used to store, protect and move goods safely within warehouses, workshops and industrial sites. They’re great for bulk items, loose parts, stock that needs containing, or anything you don’t want rolling around the floor.
Most of them are, and that’s the beauty of them. Stackable stillages let you build up instead of out, making better use of your vertical space. Just make sure you follow the load ratings and stacking guidelines so everything stays safe and stable.
It depends on the model, but many heavy-duty stillages are rated around 1000kg UDL (uniformly distributed load). Some go higher. Always check the specs for the unit you’re using, and if in doubt, ask. Better safe than sorry when there’s serious weight involved.
Many of them can. Galvanised or coated finishes help protect against rust and wear, making them suitable for outdoor or semi-exposed areas. That said, like anything steel, they’ll last longer with a bit of care and sensible use.
