Stackable Stillages

Make the most of every square metre of your warehouse or yard with stackable stillages. These heavy-duty steel storage cages are engineered to stack safely on top of one another, turning unused vertical space into organised, high-density storage for heavy, bulky or awkwardly shaped goods. From distribution centres and manufacturing plants to construction sites and recycling facilities, stackable stillages keep your stock contained, visible and easy to move.

Built from robust rectangular hollow section (RHS) steel and finished in corrosion-resistant zinc plating, these stillages stand up to the rigours of daily handling, stacking and transport — indoors or out. Their forklift-friendly design and compatibility with standard Australian pallets make them a seamless fit for existing material-handling workflows.

Why Choose Stackable Stillages

The biggest advantage of a stackable stillage is space efficiency. Instead of spreading stock across your floor, you build upward — safely stacking loaded units to multiply your storage capacity without expanding your footprint. The open, mesh-style structure keeps contents visible and well-ventilated, while the steel frame contains heavy or irregular items that don’t suit standard shelving. When demand drops, many designs collapse or nest to reclaim even more space.

H2: Specifications and Load Ratings

Stillage specifications vary by model, so always check the rating for the unit you choose. As a guide, typical stackable stillages offer:

• Load capacity: commonly 700kg–2,000kg, depending on model (capacity is usually reduced when stacked)
• Stacking: many rated to stack safely up to 3 high in use
• Footprint: designed to suit standard Australian pallet sizes (e.g. 1165 x 1165mm)
• Finish: zinc-plated or galvanised steel

H2: Safe Stacking and Workplace Compliance

Because stillages are load-bearing equipment that’s stacked in active workplaces, safe use is essential — overloading or stacking too high can create serious hazards. Always work within the rated load and stack height, inspect units regularly for damage, and train staff in safe handling. For guidance, refer to:

• Safe Work Australia — national WHS guidance on storage, stacking and manual handling.
• SafeWork NSW and WorkSafe Victoria — state WHS regulators with practical storage and forklift safety advice.
• Storage and handling equipment should meet relevant Australian Standards where applicable — ask your supplier for certification.

H2: Common Applications

Stackable stillages suit a wide range of industries and uses, including:

• Warehousing and distribution — high-density storage of stock and cartons
• Manufacturing — containing components and work-in-progress
• Construction sites — storing and transporting materials and equipment
• Recycling and waste — holding loose or bulky materials
• Mine sites and outdoor yards — galvanised options for harsh, exposed environments

H2: Frequently Asked Questions

How high can stackable stillages be stacked? Many designs are rated to stack safely up to 3 high when in use — always check the rating for your specific model and stay within it.

What are they made from? Heavy-duty RHS steel, typically finished with corrosion-resistant zinc plating or galvanising for indoor and outdoor use.

Are they forklift-compatible? Yes — stackable stillages are designed for easy handling with forklifts and other materials-handling equipment.

Do they fit standard pallets? Yes, they’re designed to suit standard Australian pallet sizes, including Chep and Loscam.

What load can they hold? It varies by model — commonly between 700kg and 2,000kg, usually with a reduced capacity when stacked. Confirm the rating before loading.
