What Is a Forklift Cage?

Storage cages, also known as storage cages and butterfly cages, are a very important type of logistics container in storage and transportation. They have the advantages of fixed storage capacity, neat stacking, clear storage, and convenient inventory checking. . The storage cage can be folded freely, and can also be folded and stored when not in use, saving storage space.

The storage cage has the advantages of fixed storage capacity, tidy stacking, clear storage, and easy inventory counting, and also improves the effective utilization of storage space. In addition, the product is sturdy and durable, convenient to transport, and can be reused, which can effectively reduce the labor consumption and packaging costs of storage enterprises. This product can be used not only in factory production workshops, but also in supermarkets as display promotions and storage, and can be used outdoors. The improved storage cage can be placed on the shelf, the assembly line, or stacked: the storage cage with wheels can be quickly and easily turned in the workshop, and the storage cage with PVC plate or iron plate can prevent small pieces from missing.

There are three commonly used storage cages: one is a wheeled storage cage for turnover, the other is a storage cage with legs that can be stacked and put on the shelf, and the three is a storage cage with wheels and legs that can be dual-use.

Storage cage commonly used standard specifications are: 1000 * 800 * 850, other specifications can be customized, both specifications have wheels and without.

1. Made of high-quality steel through cold-rolling hardening and welding, high strength and large loading capacity.

2. Uniform specifications, fixed capacity, storage of goods at a glance, easy inventory check.

The main components of the storage cage are divided into mesh manufacturing and chassis manufacturing.

The mesh is cut into various lengths, and it is made into a semi-finished mesh by the welding machine. Most of the meshes are galvanized and plastic sprayed, and the anti-rust galvanization is better than plastic spraying. Wire diameter is an important parameter for carrying.

The chassis is processed by a raw material sheet through a bending machine. The sheet is usually 1.8 and 2.5, and then cut and manually welded into channel steel. Chassis placement is an important parameter for carrying.

There are two types of welding of the bottom mesh and the bottom channel steel. One is manual welding, which cannot guarantee that each contact point is welded. The other is a full welding technology commonly used by Shanghai enterprises. Each contact point of the channel steel and mesh passes Machine welding machine with stronger carrying capacity.

Finally, the mesh and chassis are assembled by springs and buckles.

The main raw material of the storage cage is high-strength high-strength steel wire, and the general wire diameter is 4.8mm, 5mm, 6mm, 6.4mm. The mesh spacing of mesh welding is generally 50 × 100, 100 × 100, 50 × 50, 50x25, 25x25, and the bottom of the storage cage is welded by U-shaped channel steel. The U-shaped channel steel is rolled by The bottom four legs are stamped and formed with stamping parts. Generally, the formed sheet is two stamped parts, and then the two stamped parts are welded. The height of the storage cage is generally 100, and there are also 120mm height.

The design of the folding storage cage is convenient for access at any time. When stacking storage, the small door can be opened at any time to store or remove items, eliminating the trouble of turning over the warehouse. Moreover, it can be stored after folding, which greatly saves space. Non-foldable storage cages are specially reinforced, so they have a large bearing capacity and can be stacked in many layers.
The traction storage cage is a traction device installed at the left and right positions of the storage cage. Generally coupled with casters, the storage cage is connected back and forth, which can conveniently flow freely in a relatively smooth ground.
There are wheels at the bottom of the caster storage cage. Generally, there are two universal wheels and two with brake wheels.
Heavy-duty storage cages are special storage cages developed from storage cages according to customer needs. They are welded with angle steel and rectangular tubes. Compared with ordinary storage cages, they have the characteristics of large load-bearing and solid structure, and are sprayed with plastic.

Folding storage cage is also called storage cage; it has fixed storage items, neat storage, clear storage,

1. The quality of the storage cage cannot be said to be qualified. The welding of the mesh and the base of the storage cage must be firmly welded. The junction of each wire of the mesh must be welded. There must be no desoldering or leakage welding. The storage cage base It must be fully welded to ensure strength.

2. The whole of the storage cage is basically high wire + channel steel. The material of the high wire determines the overall use intensity of the storage cage. Generally speaking, manufacturers need to provide material reports for the high wire. The material of the small steel plant is better. A large part of the storage capacity of the storage cage lies on the channel steel, so the thickness of the channel steel determines whether the storage capacity of the storage cage can meet the standard.

3. The galvanized thickness of the storage cage surface is not less than 8um, the surface is bright, no spots, and the surface of the storage cage is not scratched. These are some of the details of production. There are also many storage cages exported to Japan, Europe and the United States, and foreigners pay more attention to details.

Butterfly cage is a storage container widely used in manufacturing enterprises and large storage supermarkets. It is widely used in the temporary storage, transportation, sorting and storage of raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products. The butterfly cage is also a special packaging form, which has a similar function as a tray, but its steel materials, nets, and three-dimensional structure determine that the storage cage can be used for three-dimensional loading, unloading, storage, transportation, and crop flow Turnover box can also be used as a sales tool. The function of the butterfly cage has penetrated into the fields of production, circulation and consumption, and has gone through temporary storage, packaging, loading and unloading, storage, transportation and other links, and runs through the entire process of logistics.

The role of butterfly cages in manufacturing enterprises: It has a strong latch mechanism that can not only guarantee the safe closure of Meigu cages when they are stacked, but also ensure that they can be opened and closed smoothly in various states to store materials. Point-to-point pressure welding to point the solid surface to ensure the strength and durability of the butterfly cage storage and stacking. The non-slip block not only strengthens the strength of the butterfly cage, but also ensures that the upper Meigu cage does not slip forward when stacked, which can ensure safety. Its reinforced hinges strengthen and protect against jumps when stored. Spiral hinges allow the Megu cage to fold when not in use, reducing space requirements. The bottom is reinforced with U-shaped steel to ensure the carrying capacity and firmness of the Meigu cage. The special cage foot structure conforms to the mechanics principle, which is convenient for plane placement and three-dimensional stacking, and handling by forklifts, pallet trucks and trolleys. As the cost of logistics is gradually valued by enterprises, Meigulong will also be widely used in more manufacturing enterprises. He has slowly replaced traditional wooden packaging.

Storage cages can be widely used in various industries: die castings, forgings, auto parts, motorcycle parts, metal stamping parts, engineering machinery parts, metal products, pipe fittings, gears, building and bathroom parts, lighting, furniture, toys, post logistics , Pharmaceutical logistics, supermarkets, catering, food, agricultural and sideline products, etc.
