Stillages for the Food and Beverage Industry: Hygiene and Handling
Food and beverage production sites run on two tensions: keep stock moving at speed, and keep it safe. Stillages live in the middle of both. They carry ingredients between stores and lines, hold finished products ready for dispatch, shuttle empty containers back...
Post Pallets vs Box Pallets for Industrial Storage
Post pallets and box pallets do the same core job: both are reusable steel pallets that stack, lift and hold loads a wooden pallet can't. The difference is in the sides. Post pallets have four (or six, or eight) upright posts at the corners and leave the space between...
How to Calculate How Many Stillages Your Warehouse Needs
Getting the number of stillages right matters more than most warehouse managers realise. Too few and you create bottlenecks that slow operations; too many and you waste valuable floor space and capital. With over 40 years of experience manufacturing stillages for UK...
Heavy Duty Stillages for Construction and Building Sites
On a construction site, a stillage has to do more than hold stock. It needs to take a full load of scaffold tube or rebar, stack four or five high without twisting, and survive being dragged through mud for a decade. That's a different spec from a warehouse stillage,...
How to Inspect Stillages for Damage and Wear
A damaged stillage that fails in service can drop a tonne of stock, crush a forklift driver or collapse an entire stack. Regular inspection is how you catch them early, stay compliant, and avoid throwing away perfectly serviceable equipment. Range Storage has...

Powder coating and galvanising are the two protective finishes that dominate UK stillage manufacturing, and the choice between them comes down to environment, budget and how hard the stillage is going to be worked. Powder coating is a baked-on polymer finish with good...
Stillage Cages for Secure Warehouse Storage
A stillage cage is a steel framework with mesh or sheeted sides, built to hold loose or high-value stock in a warehouse and still be lifted, stacked and locked away. It sits somewhere between a pallet and a full storage unit, giving you the containment of a cage with...
Buying Second-Hand and Used Stillages in the UK
Cost pressures can push businesses to consider buying used stillages in the UK. Short-term projects, fleet expansion, or seasonal storage needs make second-hand stillages seem like an obvious choice. The upfront savings are naturally appealing. But cheaper doesn't...
UK Stillage Safety Regulations and Compliance Requirements
Every day, stillages carry heavy loads through busy warehouses, manufacturing floors, and construction sites across the UK. They’re built to be tough – but when they’re damaged, overloaded, or poorly handled, the consequences can be serious. Collapsed stillages lead...
Mesh Stillages vs Solid Stillages for Industrial Use
Choosing the wrong stillage can quietly eat into your time, your budget, and even the accuracy of your inventory. Small parts slip through gaps, goods get damaged, and staff spend extra minutes just trying to see what’s inside. It’s surprising how much impact the...
