Timber Base Pallet Cages

Timber base pallet cages provide a secure and durable solution for warehouse storage. Combining the strength of wooden pallets with the added protection of a metal storage cage, they help keep products stable and protected during handling and storage. Ideal for warehousing, manufacturing and logistics, these cages streamline pallet and storage solutions, reduce damage and improve efficiency.


Timber Base Pallet Cages - Containit Solutions

The Containit Easy Store range includes three timber-based pallet cage models designed for practical warehouse applications.

These pallet cages are commonly used to help store cartons, components and irregular items in racking systems. If not secured correctly, these items can shift or fall, creating safety risks and potential product damage.

Using pallet cages provides a more reliable containment method by physically enclosing goods, reducing the risk of load movement and improving overall safety.

Designed for Strength and Reliability

Containit’s timber base pallet cages use bolted construction, fixing the cage through the timber bearers to create a single integrated structure. This improves overall strength and reduces movement between the pallet and cage during handling.

Compared to traditional pallet setups, this design helps minimise common damage points, particularly around pallet corners. While routine inspections are still necessary, a well-designed pallet cage plays a key role in maintaining safe and consistent warehouse operations.

Pallet Cages vs Wrapping and Strapping

Warehouses have traditionally relied on wrapping and strapping to secure palletised goods. While effective when applied correctly, this method relies on consistent manual handling administrative controls which can be challenging to manage and can fail if loads are not secured properly.

Using pallet cages provides a more reliable alternative to wrapping and strapping. By enclosing goods within a fixed structure, a pallet cage removes variability in load restraint and significantly reduces the risk of items shifting, falling or becoming unstable during storage.

This makes pallet cages a safer and more consistent option for storing cartons, components and irregular items in racks.

FAQs: Timber Base Pallet Cage

Why is a timber base pallet cage safer than a timber pallet?

A pallet cage encloses goods within a fixed structure, preventing items from shifting or falling during storage. This reduces the risk of product damage and supports safer manual handling practices in line with workplace safety guidelines. Compared to an open pallet, a storage cage provides a more controlled and secure storage solution.

Can I use a pallet trolley to transport timber base pallet cages?

Yes, timber base pallet cages can be transported using a pallet trolley, making handling more efficient and reducing manual lifting. ContainIt also has compatible pallet trolleys to assist you in transporting the timber base pallet cages safely and effectively.

Are timber pallets suitable for outdoor use?

Timber pallets can be used outdoors in the short term. However, ongoing exposure to moisture and weather conditions can lead to deterioration. For long-term outdoor use it is best to use complete metal-constructed units and ensure a maintenance program for asset review is in place to address rust buildup.

ContainIt also offers alternative storage solutions for different warehouse environments and load types, including heavy-duty steel pallets for higher-load applications.

What industries typically use timber base pallet cages?

Timber base pallet cages are commonly used in warehousing, logistics, manufacturing, construction and agriculture. These industries rely on secure storage solutions to safely handle and store palletised goods.

How do I choose the right pallet for me?

The right solution depends on your load type, environment and handling requirements. Timber base pallet cages are suited to light- to medium-duty indoor applications. Heavier loads or outdoor use may require steel alternatives, while collapsible designs are useful where space is limited.
