Stillages and Steel Containers for Manufacturing

Uses in Manufacturing

Material Handling and Storage:

Essential for safely storing and transporting raw materials, components, and finished goods. They help manufacturers keep their workplaces organised, reducing clutter and the risk of damage to materials.

Work-in-Progress Management:

For complex production lines, stillages and bins are ideal for managing and segregating WIP items. This ensures that different stages of production are easily identifiable and accessible, improving efficiency and reducing delays.

Transport and Logistics:

Often used to transport materials or products between different manufacturing sites or to customers. Their design ensures that items are securely held, minimising the risk of damage during transit.

Waste:

Like any other business, a manufacturing site will need secure, hygienic waste containers to store and potentially segregate waste materials, potentially including hazardous materials.

Depending on their purpose, the size, shape and structure of these useful tools is remarkably diverse. Some bin designs are extremely robust to handle heavy, bulky parts such as car engines, whereas a stillage is perfect for accommodating fragile sheets of glass, often using specially placed dunnage and supports. Many units are designed to be stackable, which helps maximise warehouse and factory floor space. Another space-saving feature is bins and cages with collapsible sides which fold down when not in use.
