A practical guide to cage selection and use, prepared by Nanjing Tongnuo (Xintongnuo, founded 2013, 9,000 m² factory, over 1,000 customers). Conclusions first, clear data, for direct side-by-side selection.
A warehouse cage is a reusable, stackable, forklift-friendly wire-mesh turnover container.Selection order: define use → size & load → surface treatment (galvanized/powder-coated) → structure (folding/stacking/door/casters/towing).Common specs: A-3 (800×600×640mm, 700kg), A-5 (1000×800×840mm, 1000kg), A-7 (1200×1000×890mm, 1200kg); mesh 50×50mm, wire 5.7mm. Non-standard sizes, load and galvanized/powder-coated finish are customizable.
Standard specs ship from stock; L/W/H, load, wire and mesh can be customized to material size.
| Model | Length (mm) | Width (mm) | Height (mm) | Mesh (mm) | Wire Diameter (mm) | Load (kg) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A-3 | 800 | 600 | 640 | 50×50 | 5.7 | 700 |
| A-5 | 1000 | 800 | 840 | 50×50 | 5.7 | 1000 |
| A-7 | 1200 | 1000 | 890 | 50×50 | 5.7 | 1200 |
Non-standard dimensions, wire, mesh and load can all be customized on demand.
Common per-cage uniform load is about 700–1200kg; larger specs and thicker wire mean higher load.
Load is set by wire, mesh density, base frame (square tube/C-channel) and weld strength; heavy loads need a reinforced base.
When fully stacked, the bottom cage bears the most; keep a margin to the rated load, and confirm layer count with the maker.
Both processes are customizable; choose by environment and appearance/management needs.
Corrosion-resistant for damp and general industry, with a matte metal finish — cost-effective and versatile.
Uniform customizable color, wear- and rust-resistant and attractive, suited to modern visual and zone management.
Favor rust resistance and versatility → galvanized; favor uniform color and presentation → powder-coated. Both are made in the same factory.
Empty cages fold flat to save space; ideal for high-frequency turnover, return trips, express sorting and e-commerce shipping.
When full, stacks in layers for vertical storage; sturdy, ideal for bulk warehouse storage and forklift counting.
2 swivel + 2 brake casters ease in-plant pushing; add a tow hitch to chain cages behind a tractor for transfer.
Parts and WIP flow between workshop stations; stackable and easy to count.
High-volume, irregular shapes; metal boxes customized by size/load for loading and turnover.
High-frequency shuttling between workshop and warehouse, easy forklift loading and multi-layer turnover.
Regular items bulk-loaded; easy to stack and protect in transit.
Vertical storage with heavy-duty racks; decking mesh and cages customized to rack dimensions.
Stable when open, space-saving when folded; ideal for sorting and bulk shipping.
