Heavy-duty metal stillages made for reliable storage

Our stillages are built to take on tough jobs and daily use. Made from strong steel and designed for stability, they make storing, stacking, and moving goods simple and secure. Perfect for warehouses, factories, and construction sites, each stillage is built to last, helping you keep materials organised and your operations running smoothly.

Stillage sizes

We offer four stillage sizes to suit different loads and working areas. Each size is built from the same durable steel construction, so you can choose the footprint that fits your space without compromising on strength.

Mini

At 840 × 600 × 548mm, this is the smallest stillage size we offer. Ideal for smaller parts, fittings, and components, their compact footprint makes it easy to place in tight areas, on shelving, or in workshops where space is limited.

Small

Our small stillages measure 940 × 703 × 648mm and offer a practical balance between capacity and footprint. They’re well suited to everyday materials and easy to position around warehouses, storerooms, and general work areas.

Medium

With dimensions of 1030 × 1030 × 728mm, our medium stillages give you more room for bulkier items and mixed materials. They’re a solid choice when you need extra capacity but want to avoid taking up too much floor space.

Large

Our largest options come in at 1096 × 1096 × 888mm and are designed for oversized items and heavier loads. They provide maximum storage capacity and are a dependable fit for busy yards, construction sites, and more.

What our stillages are used for

Our stillages are built for a wide range of industries and applications, making them a reliable choice wherever organised, secure storage is essential.

They’re commonly used for:

Outdoor storage thanks to their strong steel build and long-term durability.
Construction materials such as bricks, blocks, fixings, and site equipment.
Manufacturing and engineering parts, components, and work-in-progress items.
Warehouse and distribution for keeping goods organised and easy to move.
Transport and logistics where safe stacking and efficient loading matter.

Our stillages are made from high-quality steel and built to handle the demands of daily use, giving you long-lasting, reliable performance in tough working conditions.

Great value for money

Because we build everything in-house here in the UK, you get solid, durable stillages without the inflated price tag, meaning better materials, better welds, and better long-term value than mass-produced imports.
