Storage cage is a mesh storage turnover container made of metal materials such as galvanized steel and cold-rolled steel. It is mainly used for the storage, handling, and turnover of components, semi-finished products, and finished goods in industrial and logistics scenarios. It has the dual functions of "storage protection" and "efficient circulation", and is one of the basic tools of modern warehouse management.
Its core advantages are concentrated in three points: firstly, it is flexible and efficient, supports folding design, can save more than 70% of storage space when idle, and is compatible with equipment such as forklifts, ground oxen, AGVs, etc., which can be operated and transported by a single person, greatly improving turnover efficiency; Secondly, it is durable and economical. The metal mesh structure is impact resistant and rust resistant (hot-dip galvanized/spray treated), with a normal service life of 5-8 years. It can be reused and has a long-term cost lower than disposable packaging; Thirdly, it has a wide range of safety adaptability. The network format design facilitates visual management of goods, and some models come with locks, partitions, or casters, which can meet the needs of anti-theft, classified storage, and mobile operations. It can also be directly stacked (usually 3-4 layers) or put on shelves, suitable for multiple industries such as automobile manufacturing, e-commerce warehousing, and cross-border logistics.
The mainstream types are classified by function into folding (focusing on space saving), stacking (focusing on dense storage), and belt wheel (focusing on convenient movement), with European, American and other specifications according to standards. The load-bearing capacity is usually between 500-1500kg, and can be flexibly selected according to the characteristics of the goods. It should be noted that when used in special industries such as food and medicine, it is recommended to choose stainless steel materials or food grade surface treated styles to ensure compliance.
