Your company wants to use steel cages for warehouse storage and transportation of goods. However, the company still has hundreds of wooden pallets stored and in good condition. What can you do? You can again use those pallets without compromising safety and durability by purchasing pallet cages.

Pallet cages are metal cages with the same durable build and steel mesh sides and fold-down or hinged doors. However, the steel cage is attached to a durable timber pallet.

Pallet cages are widely used in warehouses and for transporting goods, especially for more extended periods. Like their full metal cage counterpart, pallet cages make storing and transporting of goods, parts, spares, and other items more effective and efficient. So, what makes them cost-effective?

Can be used with existing stock of standard wooden pallets
If your company still has a considerable stock of good condition wooden pallets, simply purchase the pallet cages. These cages cost less than full metal cages and will cost even less since you don’t need to include the wooden pallet flooring.

Ensures load safety
Pallet cages ...
... help keep goods, spares, parts, and even metal items and loads safe and secure. In the warehouse, if you want to store goods in safety, pallet cages are the best option because there is less risk of damage to stored items even for long periods. The goods are not exposed because they are protected by the cage’s armour, and the goods remain protected even if the cage should be bumped on the outside. Even during transportation, the load is secured and safe, decreasing the risk of damage.

Easy handling and mobility
Pallet cages are designed to be lifted, transported, and moved almost effortlessly using a forklift. When the pallet cage is lifted, the load or items inside are in no danger of spilling or toppling because they are secure inside the cage. The load remains stable. The cage is a system of containment all by itself that is mobile as well.

Durability
Despite the wooden pallet flooring, pallet cages are versatile and durable. The steel mesh sides offer excellent protection to the load, and the fold-down or hinged doors offer security since these doors can be locked, preventing theft and pilferage. This durability offers cost-effectiveness since the cages have longevity.

Space saving
Pallet cages also save space in the warehouse. These cages can be collapsed and removed from the pallets when not in use. Both pallets and cages can be stored that saves space. The cages themselves can be stacked for transport on trucks.
