Push it full, fold it small
A folding wire cage (also called a collapsible storage cage or cage trolley) is a welded steel wire cage whose four mesh sides fold down. Open, it is a container for materials; empty, it folds to about 22–24 cm high, and empty cages stack without taking up space. Every model in this series has 4 casters on the base, so a loaded cage can be pushed straight to the line, the warehouse dock or the shipping area without waiting for a forklift. The mesh lets you see what is inside, so counting and stocktaking are easy.

How to choose
- Load: for light, bulky materials choose 5.0 mm wire; for heavy loads or stacking choose 5.8–6.0 mm. Thicker wire is stiffer, and the cage is heavier.
- Mesh: for small parts choose 50 × 50 mm so they don’t fall through; for large items and a lighter cage choose 50 × 100 mm.
- Size: for narrow aisles and small quantities choose 800 × 600 mm; 1000 × 800 mm has the most options; for large batches choose 1200 × 1000 or 1600 × 1100 mm, and the 1000 mm high models for tall loads.
- Returning empties: folded to 22–24 cm, several cages stack together, saving space in the warehouse and on trucks.
- Parking: tell us before ordering whether you need braked casters. The value and yellow versions have brakes; ask for other models.
Applications
- Warehouses and logistics centers: picking, staging and consolidating before shipping; empty cages folded for return
- Production lines: raw materials, spares and work in process pushed from stores to the line
- Shipping areas and exhibitions: temporary storage and moving goods in batches
- Wherever contents should be visible: the mesh is ventilated and easy to check
Steel wire cages have no ESD treatment; for sensitive electronic parts, please ask about ESD containers.
