Roll Cages & Collapsible Containers for Warehouse & Logistics Handling

Roll cages and collapsible wire cages for moving and storing stock across warehouses, distribution centres and food production sites. Every roll cage trolley in our range carries up to 600kg, in nestable or demountable designs and 3-sided, 4-sided or full mesh versions. Demountable models come on an 800 x 715mm standard base or an 800 x 1200mm jumbo base. Our hypacages and pallet retention cages fit 1200 x 1000mm and 1200 x 800mm pallets, stack four high, fold flat to as little as 210mm and carry 600kg to 1,500kg.

Choose a cage for the people moving it as well as for the load. HSE guidance on handling roll cages notes that a fully loaded cage can weigh 500kg or more, and that some companies using roll cages continuously have found up to a third of their accidents involve them. It advises moving one cage at a time at walking pace, pushing rather than pulling, and loading heavy items at the bottom. Employers must assess these risks under the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992.

How much weight can a roll cage carry?

All of our roll cage trolleys, from the small demountable model to the jumbo nestable cage, are rated to 600kg. For heavier loads, our pallet retention cages are rated to 800kg and the heavy duty collapsible wire cage to 1,500kg, although these are moved by forklift or pallet truck rather than pushed by hand. The Health and Safety Executive notes that a fully loaded roll cage can weigh 500kg or more, so load the heaviest items at the bottom, never exceed the rated capacity and move one cage at a time at walking pace.

What is the difference between nestable, demountable and collapsible cages?

All three take up less space when empty, but they do it in different ways. Nestable roll cages have an A-frame base, so empty cages push into one another in a line and stay on their wheels, which makes them the fastest to put away. Demountable roll cages have removable sides and fold flat, so they take up less room on a return vehicle but take longer to break down. Collapsible cages, also called hypacages or pallet retention cages, have no castors: they fit standard pallet footprints, fold flat to as little as 210mm and stack up to four high when loaded.

Are roll cages suitable for food handling?

Yes, for moving packaged food, ingredients in sealed sacks, and food held in lidded crates or tote boxes, which is how roll cages are used across food production and chilled distribution. The steel frames are zinc-plated or powder-coated and are not intended for direct contact with unwrapped food, so put open product into food-grade plastic containers before it goes into the cage. Zinc-plated cages resist corrosion in chilled and damp areas and wipe clean, which suits hygiene-controlled sites.
