Standardized Warehousing And Turnover Equipment Welded From High-strength Metal Wires.

A storage cage (also known as butterfly cage, warehouse cage, logistics cage, or turnover cage) is a standardized storage and handling equipment made of high-strength metal wire welded into a grid structure, featuring foldability and stackability. It is widely used in manufacturing, logistics warehousing, retail distribution, and other fields, serving as an ideal tool for achieving unitized and standardized storage and transportation of goods.
1.Core Strengths:
Space Efficiency: Stackable up to 4–5 layers when fully loaded; three-dimensional storage increases warehouse capacity by over 30%. Folds to reduce volume by 70%, saving space when not in use.
Visibility & Easy Management: Full mesh design provides clear visibility of goods, reducing errors in inventory counting and order picking. Compatible with forklifts, racks, and assembly line operations.
Durability & Reusability: Rust-resistant via galvanization or plastic spraying; reusable for 5–8 years. Replaces cartons and wooden boxes, supporting green logistics and significantly lowering costs.
Scene Adaptability: Available in wheeled models for workshop turnover, footed models for rack stacking, and combined wheeled & footed models with dual functions to meet end-to-end logistical needs.
2.Core Application Scenarios
Manufacturing: Circulation of parts, semi-finished products and finished goods, temporary storage in workshops, suitable for industries such as automotive, engineering machinery, and hardware.
Logistics & Warehousing: E-commerce warehouses, cold-chain warehouses, and port container supporting services, enabling efficient cross-regional circulation.
Supermarkets: Display and circulation of supermarket commodities; customizable partitions for pharmaceutical distribution, complying with GSP storage requirements.
Special Scenarios: Preservation of agricultural products (ventilation), management of building materials and hardware accessories (load-bearing).

4.Key Selection Considerations

Selection criteria based on cargo characteristics:

Heavy-duty goods: Opt for heavy-duty storage cages with reinforced chassis and steel wire diameter ≥6mm.

Fragile items: Choose storage cages with inner linings or special protective coatings.

Frequent handling: Select foldable designs with wheeled configurations to enhance efficiency.

Key parameter considerations:

Rated load capacity (static/dynamic)

folding ratio (space-saving capability)

surface treatment methods (environmental compatibility)

welding quality (weld strength of critical components).

Compliance with national standards:

Prioritize products meeting GB/T 37164.2-2018 "Logistics Turnover Boxes and Storage Cages – Part 2: Storage Cages".

5.Usage and Maintenance

Proper usage:

The stacking layer count must not exceed the product's rated capacity (typically 4-5 layers). Distribute goods evenly to avoid localized overloading.

Engage locking brakes during pulley movement to prevent slippage.

Routine maintenance:

Regularly inspect weld joints and frame structures, repairing damages promptly.

Avoid exposure to strong acids or alkalis to prevent corrosion.

Use neutral cleaning agents during cleaning to protect surface coatings.

As a fundamental facility in modern logistics warehousing, storage cages enhance space utilization efficiency, reduce warehousing costs, and improve cargo turnover rates through standardized design and multifunctional features. They constitute an indispensable component in Industry 4.0 and smart warehousing systems.
