Stillages for Export and International Shipping
Sending goods overseas puts your packaging under more pressure than any domestic journey. A stillage that carries a load happily around a warehouse may face weeks at sea, swings in temperature and humidity, repeated handling at ports, and customs officers who check...
Crane Lift Stillages: Lifting Points, LOLER and Load Testing
A crane lift stillage is a steel stillage designed to be lifted from above, by crane or hoist, using integral lifting points rather than being handled from below by a forklift. The moment a stillage is lifted overhead, it stops being just a storage container and...
How to Store Tyres Safely in a Workshop or Warehouse
Tyres are more demanding to store than they look. Rubber degrades when it is left in the wrong conditions, a pile of tires is a serious fire load, and a workshop that holds seasonal stock has to keep hundreds of them organised, accessible and off the floor. Get it...

Galvanised Steel vs Stainless Steel Stillages
Both galvanised steel and stainless steel stillages stand up well to rust, but they achieve it in very different ways and at very different prices. Range Storage has manufactured steel stillages in West Yorkshire since 1979, and the question of which material to...
Standard Stillage Sizes and Dimensions Explained
