Steel Stillages, Racks and Galvanized Storage Baskets
Welded from tube, profile and mesh, built for forklifts and stacking, hot-dip galvanized or powder coated
We manufacture custom steel stillages, transport racks, storage baskets and cages for factories, building sites and logistics. Each unit is cut on our tube and fiber lasers, welded in jigs for identical dimensions across the batch, and finished with hot-dip galvanizing, paint or powder coating.
Built to your drawing or to the load and size you need. Galvanized units up to 12,000 × 5,000 × 5,000 mm. Any quantity, from a sample to full series.

A stillage or storage basket is picked up by a forklift, dropped, stacked and loaded every day. It needs a stiff frame that stays square, welds that do not crack at the corners, and a finish that survives outdoor storage. We build steel stillages, transport racks and galvanized storage baskets to your drawing, sized for your parts, your load and your trucks.
How We Build Them
- Frames from square and rectangular tube, cut on our 3D tube laser so every piece is the same length and every notch fits.
- Sides and floors in welded mesh, expanded metal, flat bar or sheet, depending on what the basket holds.
- Jig welding keeps every unit in the batch identical, so they stack and nest correctly. Robotic welding is used for larger series.
- Handling details: forklift pockets or feet, lifting eyes, stacking corners, folding or removable sides, castors.
Galvanized, Painted or Both
For outdoor use and building sites, hot-dip galvanizing to EN ISO 1461 is the most durable choice: the zinc covers the inside of the tubes and every weld. Units up to 12,000 mm long, 5,000 mm wide and 5,000 mm high fit our galvanizing bath. For colour coding or indoor use we also powder coat or paint, and for the harshest environments we combine galvanizing and paint.
Typical Applications
- Transport stillages for automotive and machinery parts
- Storage baskets and cages for building sites and scaffolding
- Racks for glass, panels, profiles, cylinders and drums
- Collection baskets for recycling and waste handling
- Returnable packaging between supplier and assembly plant
