Van Packaging Stillage

 

Are you looking for a solution to assist with the transportation and storage of components? Acres Engineering has a wide scope of knowledge and skills to design and manufacture solutions to help you!

In a variety of industries and warehouses, stillages are used for material handling and storage. They can be stacked to maximise storage space and keep components off the ground, reducing the risk of damage or contamination. Stillages are designed to be easily moved with forklifts or wheels, making them suitable for transporting goods within a facility or between locations. They can be used for organising work-in-progress materials on a production line and provide more secure containment for irregularly shaped or heavy items.

Our stillages can be supplied in different heights, widths and spacings. They can be designed with foam inserts to protect parts from damage. We can also add features such as document pockets, whiteboards or process indicators.

Here are some common applications and types of stillages used in manufacturing:

  1. Standard Stillages: These are basic stillages designed for general-purpose material handling and storage. They are typically used for storing and transporting a wide range of goods.
  2. Mesh Stillages: Mesh stillages are constructed with mesh sides and bases, allowing for easy visibility and ventilation. They are often used for materials that require airflow, like fresh produce or items that need to air dry.
  3. Box Stillages: These are stillages with solid sides, providing more containment and security. They are often used for fragile or valuable items that need protection during storage and transportation.
  4. Cage Stillages: Cage stillages have a cage-like structure, providing visibility and containment for items while allowing for easy access. They are used for a variety of materials, including small components, textiles, and recycling.
  5. A-Frame Stillages: A-frame stillages have a triangular frame structure, often used for storing long and heavy items like metal rods, pipes, or timber.
  6. Bespoke Stillages: Manufacturers can create custom stillages to meet specific requirements. These stillages are designed for unique applications and materials.
  7. Glass Stillages: Glass stillages are used to transport and store glass panels, sheets, and other fragile glass products securely.
  8. Racking Stillages: These stillages can be integrated into racking systems, providing efficient storage solutions for items in warehouses and manufacturing facilities.
  9. Post Pallet Stillages: These stillages have a unique design featuring upright posts, and they are commonly used in industries like warehousing, manufacturing, and logistics.

Stillages in manufacturing play a crucial role in enhancing organisation, optimising efficiency, and minimising errors in the transportation processes. The design of the stillage will depend on the industry and the components being accommodated for.
