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.

Why buy stillages from Universal Containers

Our stillages are built in-house here in the UK, giving us full control over quality, consistency, and design. This hands-on approach means you get reliable, well-made stillages that meet the highest standards, delivered quickly and backed by expert support.

Durable & heavy-duty

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.

Made for any operation

We can build your stillages to match your operation. If you need a certain size, side option or layout, we can customise your stillages so they fit with your workflow, reducing handling time and making day-to-day operations easier.

Designed to maximise your space

Smart, stackable designs help you store more in the same footprint, keep materials organised, and make better use of space in busy warehouses, yards, and worksites.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of stillages do you offer?

We offer three stillage styles to suit different storage and handling needs: our standard metal stillage, a half-height front metal stillage for easier access, and a front access door metal stillage for loading and unloading larger or heavier items.

Are stillages stackable?

Yes. Our stillages are designed to be safely stackable, helping you maximise floor space and keep materials organised on busy sites or in warehouses.

Can stillages be left outside?

Absolutely. They’re built from durable steel and are suitable for outdoor use, making them a reliable option for yards, construction sites, and other exposed environments.

Do you offer custom designed stillages?

We do. If you need specific dimensions, side options, or a layout that fits your workflow, we can build stillages to your requirements.

  Scarcroft and District Allotments Association in York have used two containers from Universal - one 20' unmodified new container as a store and one 40' new container insulated and supplied with electrics package and two secure windows and a secure accessible door as a shop- to replace their 50+ year-old wooden hut used as a shop and association base.  Shaun McWilliams (project engineer) has been our main contact at Universal with oversight and support from Carl Jeffries (project manager).  They have been hugely supportive through a long process.  Nothing has been too much trouble for Shaun, adapting plans and offering choices at every stage - always friendly, imaginative and flexible.  We'd recommend Universal without reservation for any project involving shipping containers.
