Storage Cage: Foldable, Stackable For Efficient Storage & Transport.

Storage Cage: Foldable, Stackable For Efficient Storage & Transport.

A storage cage, also commonly known as a butterfly cage, warehouse cage, logistics cage or turnover cage, is a standardized storage and handling unit manufactured with high-strength metal wire welded into a rigid grid structure, equipped with foldable and stackable core functions. It is widely applied in manufacturing, logistics warehousing, retail distribution and multiple related industries, and is the ideal dedicated equipment to realize unitized, standardized cargo storage and cross-scenario transportation.

1. Core Product Advantages

• Space Efficiency: Supports stable stacking of 4-5 layers when fully loaded; three-dimensional storage layout boosts warehouse effective capacity by more than 30%. The foldable design reduces idle volume by up to 70, maximizing storage space savings when the cages are not in use.

• High Visibility & Easy Management: The full-grid open structure realizes full visibility of internal cargo, effectively reducing inventory counting errors and order picking mistakes. It is fully compatible with forklifts, storage racks and assembly line operations, realizing seamless docking of the whole logistics chain.

• High Durability & Reusability: Adopts galvanizing or plastic spraying surface treatment for excellent rust and corrosion resistance; the service life reaches 5-8 years with repeated use. It can replace disposable cartons and wooden boxes, supporting green and low-carbon logistics development and greatly reducing long-term logistics packaging costs.

• Full Scenario Adaptability: Provides optional configurations including wheeled models for workshop turnover, fixed-foot models for rack stacking, and dual-function models with both wheels and support feet, fully covering end-to-end logistics and storage needs of different scenarios.

2. Core Application Scenarios

• Manufacturing Industry: Suitable for circulation of auto parts, mechanical accessories, hardware tools, semi-finished products and finished goods, as well as temporary workshop storage, widely used in automotive, construction machinery, hardware manufacturing and other supporting industries.

• Logistics & Warehousing: Applied to e-commerce fulfillment warehouses, cold chain logistics warehouses, port and container supporting services, realizing efficient, standardized cross-regional cargo circulation and unified management.

• Retail & Supermarket Industry: Used for on-site display and daily circulation of supermarket goods; can be equipped with customized partitions, fully compliant with GSP storage specifications for pharmaceutical distribution and regulated commodity circulation.

• Special Specialized Scenarios: Ventilated grid structure suitable for fresh agricultural products storage and turnover; high-load-bearing design adapted to building materials, hardware accessories and heavy cargo standardized management.

4. Key Purchasing & Selection Guidelines

Selection Matching Based on Cargo Characteristics

• For heavy-duty bulk cargo: Choose heavy-duty reinforced storage cages with reinforced chassis structure and steel wire diameter ≥6mm.

• For fragile and easily scratched goods: Choose storage cages equipped with inner linings or special protective surface coatings.

• For high-frequency handling and turnover scenarios: Select foldable models with wheeled configuration to greatly improve handling efficiency.

Core Parameter Priorities for Selection

• Rated static and dynamic load capacity

• Folding ratio and idle space-saving performance

• Surface treatment process and environmental adaptability

• Welding quality and welding strength of key load-bearing components

National Standard Compliance Requirements

It is strongly recommended to give priority to products compliant with GB/T 37164.2-2018 Logistics Turnover Boxes and Storage Cages - Part 2: Storage Cages national standard.

5. Operation Specifications & Daily Maintenance

Standardized Operation Rules

• The stacking layers shall not exceed the rated limit of the product (generally 4-5 layers); cargo shall be placed evenly, and local partial overloading is strictly prohibited.

• For wheeled models, the locking brake must be locked during handling and stopping to prevent accidental sliding and safety risks.

Daily Routine Maintenance

• Regularly inspect the welding joints and main frame structure, and repair damaged parts in time to ensure load-bearing safety.

• Avoid long-term contact with strong acid and alkali corrosive substances to prevent surface coating damage and metal corrosion.

• Use neutral cleaning agents for daily cleaning to protect the integrity of the surface anti-corrosion coating and extend service life.

As core infrastructure equipment for modern logistics and warehousing, storage cages effectively improve space utilization efficiency, reduce comprehensive warehousing costs, and accelerate cargo turnover speed through standardized design and multi-scenario versatile functions. They have become an indispensable core component in Industry 4.0 and intelligent warehousing systems.
