Stillages

Additional Functions

The basic wire mesh stillage is a versatile flatbed with wheels, which can be moved around your warehouse using a forklift or tow tug. Once a task is done, orders can be removed, stretch-wrapped, labelled, and readied for dispatch with a forklift or walkie-stacker.

The ABLE Container from Pack King can be lifted by a forklift, hand pallet truck, or high lift pallet truck from its two long sides when wheels are absent, or by a forklift and narrow lifters up to 540mm wide when wheels are attached.

A spring-assisted scissor lift table can be integrated into the containers to lift contents to operator height, descend under weight, and maximise container use without requiring bending to retrieve contents. This feature is particularly useful for handling items like bed linen, parts, and stock picking. If needed, sides can be lined with ribbed plastic panels.

Several ABLE bases, each with a 1,300 kg capacity, can be hitched in line using an optional draw bar and tow hitch. When unhitched, each loaded base is easy to push.

Tow tugs of various capacities are also available to create a stock-picking unit or train. ABLE bases and mesh sided containers can be used interchangeably in the train.

Your containers can be personalised with company identifiers, logos, unit numbers, addresses, and contact numbers. Trust Pack King for the best wire mesh cage solutions and professional advice. Call us today to discuss your needs and receive expert information.

Wire Mesh Handling Containers

Wire Mesh Handling Containers are perfect for all commercial businesses looking for an easier way to store items.

The Wire Mesh Handling Containers provide businesses with security and easy storage for their products.

What are Wire Mesh Handling Containers?

Wire Mesh Containers are heavy duty, collapsible, foldable and stackable containers that make packing, moving and storing items simple.

They are made of steel and are galvanised to make the wire storage baskets have long lifetime. We have designed and manufactured our metal mesh containers so that provide maximum security and can be stored in a variety of places.

Wire Mesh Containers normally hold heavy duty items such as machinery and equipment but can also hold a variety of other things such as pillows.

Why do you need it?

Wire Mesh Containers provide security and stability in your business. A wire mesh container is a container that will not break easily and is difficult for unauthorised people to get in to.

As a business you need wire mesh containers for a few reasons:

• Equipment Carrier: Wire Mesh Containers come on wheels so if you need to store or move heavy equipment or machinery, you should probably choose to use a Wire Mesh Storage Container.
• Valuables: because of the heights of the containers unless an unauthorised person(s) has the key, Wire Mesh Containers are very secure to store the business’s valuable items and products.
• Inventory: Wire Mesh Containers are a great way to store products in a basket like container especially open or miscellaneous items. Additionally, this will allow you to have a better idea of what products sell quickly or are kept in storage.

When would you use it?

This differs depending on the business but in an industrial or commercial business you would use Wire Mesh Handler Containers all the time.

As mentioned above wire mesh handler containers are great for wire basket like storage and security, but they can also be used to ship items if needed.

Wire Mesh means that the containers are ventilated making it the perfect storage container for transporting natural goods.

How easy is it to use?

Very easy. To set up just unfold the sides and lock in place. To collapse, unlock sides and fold back down in correct order.

Other than that, there are no steps to maintenance or use as they are very easy to use and have a long-life cycle.

Will it keep my items safe?

Yes, they will. Wire Mesh Handler Containers are the safest ventilated storage containers for industrial use.

They come with heavy duty wire mesh that is designed to protect what’s inside and keep out whatever is outside.

New. Bulk Bag Inserts Available For The Able Folding Mesh Containers

Now you can load bulk product into a Flexible Intermediate Bulk Container (FIBC), transport it safely in the container, then fold the container and the bag for return to the sender. (The inside of the ABLE Container is approx. 1100 x 1100 x 1100 high. Load cap 1000 Kg).

Here’s another product. We can also supply poly bag inserts for the FIBCs for those who need to adhere to strict hygienic packaging (bag in bag).

Simply place the FIBC into the mesh container (then add the plastic insert bag if required), then pull each FIBC bag corner loop down on the outside and secure it with a plastic tie. The bag is now fully open and ready for filling.

The receiver can unload the FIBC using a manual scoop or vacuum, or by releasing the loops and pulling the bag out from the mesh container using forklift tines.

Returned ABLE Containers are stackable at 6:1 ratio so the freight savings can be considerable in a closed loop system.

With a modification to the underside of the ABLE Container, it is also possible to rotate the container and contents.

The types of FIBC’s available are shown below.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a stillage?
A: A stillage is a cage-like container, usually made of steel, used to store or transport goods securely. Stillages can be stacked, collapsed, and moved via forklift or pallet jack.

Q: What sizes do your King Wire Mesh Storage Containers come in?
A: We offer several standard sizes suitable for pallets and shelf racking. Custom dimensions can also be manufactured upon request.

Q: Can I stack the stillages when full?
A: Yes. Our stillages are designed to stack securely, up to four units high, when loaded, depending on the weight and stability of the goods inside.

Q: Are these suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes. Galvanised units offer excellent corrosion resistance for use in sheltered outdoor settings. For full exposure environments, we recommend keeping the stillages covered when possible.

Q: How do collapsible stillages work?
A: The sides of the stillage fold inward, allowing the unit to collapse flat. This reduces storage space when not in use and saves on freight costs during return logistics.

Q: Are your stillages compatible with standard forklifts?
A: Absolutely. All units are designed for forklift access, with open fork sleeves on at least two sides for safe lifting and placement.

Q: Can I access goods inside without unstacking?
A: Yes. Many of our models feature a front drop gate, allowing you to reach or pick items even when the stillage is stacked or partially loaded.

Q: What is the load capacity?
A: Load capacity varies depending on the size and design of the stillage. Most models handle 500kg to 1,200kg. Always confirm your load specs before ordering.

Q: Do you offer hire or trial units?
A: We primarily sell new stillages, but we can offer guidance if you’re trialling for the first time. Buying a single unit to test fit and function is common, and we can help arrange that.

Q: How do I place an order?
A: Simply call Ron on (03) 9720 0425 or email ron@kinggroup.com.au. We’ll confirm sizing, stock, pricing, and delivery details.
