Pallet Cages Adelaide
Overview of pallet cages
Pallet cages are one of the simplest and smartest ways to contain loose, bulky, or irregularly shaped items in your Adelaide warehouse or yard. Whether you’re dealing with offcuts, small parts, recyclables, or stock that won’t sit safely on a flat pallet, pallet cages add structure and control.
Rackman Australia supplies and installs pallet cages across Adelaide for businesses looking to streamline their storage and reduce clutter. Our cages are designed to fit standard Australian pallets, making them easy to move with forklifts or pallet jacks, and compatible with most racking systems.
From industrial yards in Wingfield to warehouses in Gepps Cross, pallet cages are a staple of smart material handling across South Australia. They help you:
- ***Prevent spills and scattered items
- ***Stack awkward goods vertically
- ***Improve workplace safety
- ***Keep your facility tidy and efficient
What are pallet cages used for?
Pallet cages turn a flat pallet into a secure container. Made from steel mesh or bar sides and often featuring drop-down gates, these cages enclose your goods while still allowing airflow and visibility. Common use cases include:
- ***Scrap metal, timber offcuts, or plastic waste
- ***Bottles, drums, tubs or bagged items
- ***Spare parts and hardware
- ***Produce and firewood (that benefit from ventilation)
- ***Packaging materials, foam, or recycled goods
- ***Bulky, heavy items that are hard to wrap or strap
We supply both standard designs and custom configurations to suit your operation, with a focus on strength, safety, and space-saving features.

Whatever you’re storing and moving, our cages are designed to work with the equipment and infrastructure you already use.
Key features of our pallet cages
Steel frame construction
Each cage is fabricated from heavy-gauge steel mesh welded to angle steel framing, built to handle harsh warehouse conditions. Most models are rated for 500–1000 kg UDL (uniformly distributed load), depending on the application.
Reinforced corners ensure structural integrity under load, especially when stacked. The mesh grid (often 50x50mm) contains small to mid-size items without reducing visibility.
Drop-down access gates
Many of our pallet cages include a front-facing half-drop gate. This clever feature lets you access contents without removing a cage stacked on top.
It improves:
- ***Ergonomics for manual handling
- ***Access speed for smaller pick jobs
- ***Safety by eliminating awkward overhead reach-ins
Gates latch securely when closed to maintain full containment.
Stacking & collapsibility
With properly designed corner feet or stacking locators, our cages nest securely when stacked. This allows you to build vertically – a major bonus when floor space is tight.
Need the cage gone when empty? Our collapsible models fold down flat, saving storage space and return freight costs. Great for mobile businesses, site projects, or operations that rotate stock seasonally.
Benefits of using pallet cages in your Adelaide operation
Trying to stack small, loose, or oddly shaped stock directly on pallets usually leads to unstable loads, excessive wrapping, or damaged goods. Pallet cages solve this by containing everything inside a durable, steel-framed unit – keeping your floor clear and your stock under control.
From scrap steel in Wingfield to bulk bagged produce in the Riverland, cages are ideal for:
- ***Irregular stock
- ***Multi-part assemblies
- ***Offcuts or waste
- ***Returned goods
- ***Overflow storage
Caged goods can be moved, loaded, and shipped as a single unit. Whether you’re transferring parts between departments or sending finished stock to clients, pallet cages reduce handling time and forklift movements – streamlining operations across the board.
The result: fewer touches, faster throughput, and safer loading. For bulk transport applications, see how our cable racking and steel racking options complement cages in mixed-load environments.
Instead of laying items out flat or blocking aisles with loose bundles, use stackable cages to build up. Many of our cages can stack 2–4 high depending on weight and model, making the most of your warehouse’s vertical capacity.
We can also help you integrate pallet cages into your warehouse racking system, ensuring compatibility with your existing beams and storage layout.
The steel frame acts as a buffer around whatever you’re storing. If another load bumps into it, the cage absorbs the hit – not your product. This is especially useful in high-traffic warehouses, or when storing materials outside where movement and weather increase risk.
For maximum outdoor durability, pair pallet cages with cantilever racking or heavy duty racking in open yards or industrial environments.
Compared to single-use packaging like shrink wrap or cardboard bins, pallet cages are reusable and built to last. Collapsible models save on return freight costs, and they eliminate the waste associated with disposable containers.
Many Adelaide businesses maintain a rotating stock of pallet cages, moving them between worksites, subcontractors, and warehouses as needed. The long lifespan and multi-purpose nature of pallet cages make them a smart investment – not just a convenience.
