Project REF: AD-2521-2024-05-2 / 12596-P1

By implementing protective measures, manufacturers can ensure that car mesh panels arrive at the final assembly line in optimal condition, ready for installation on the vehicle. Mesh panels are often delicate and can be easily bent, scratched, or otherwise damaged. Protection helps ensure they maintain their structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

Dunnage stillages are specialised containers or frames used in various industries, particularly in manufacturing and logistics, to store, transport, and protect goods. They are designed to handle heavy loads and prevent damage to products during transit. Here’s a breakdown of what they are and their purposes:

1. Structure: Dunnage stillages are often made of metal, typically steel, and can be either static (non-moving) or mobile (equipped with wheels). They are designed to be sturdy and durable, capable of withstanding significant weight and rough handling.
2. Protection: The primary function of dunnage stillages is to protect goods from damage. They achieve this by providing a stable and secure environment for items, preventing movement and reducing the risk of impact or abrasion.
3. Customisation: These stillages can be customised to fit specific products or components. They often include features like partitions, padding, or other protective measures tailored to the items they carry.
4. Efficiency: Using dunnage stillages can improve handling efficiency. They can be easily moved with forklifts or other handling equipment, facilitating quick loading and unloading processes.
5. Stackability: Many dunnage stillages are designed to be stackable, maximising storage space both in warehouses and during transportation.
6. Applications: Commonly used in automotive, aerospace, and heavy machinery industries, dunnage stillages are ideal for transporting parts like engine components, body panels, or other large, heavy items that require special handling.
