What is a Stillage
A stillage is designed and manufactured using steel and is used for separating and carrying products. The purpose of stillages is to assist in the transportation of goods and to allow for easy manoeuvre around a factory floor.
Stillages are usually manufactured to be stackable – to maximise floor space. Stillages help with organising your space and make it easier to find the products you need. In addition, stillages reduce time taken to unload and load products during transportation.
Benefits of Stillages
- Reduce time taken to unload and load products during transportation.
- Stillages are stackable – maximising space and helping organisation.
- Can be easily customised – i.e., castor wheels to improve operational efficiency, mesh metal, hatch door, roll on roll off, lifting hook.
- Recyclable.
- Durable.
- Handling- stillages minimise damage of your products whilst also being easy to manoeuvre.
- Safety – stillages allow heavy goods to be stored compliantly. Stillages ensure that heavy goods are held in a way so that they won’t come loose during transport and potentially harm someone.
- Lockable, site box – ideal for gas bottle storage, storage cages, lifting cage, bulk frames and bulk buy pallets.
- Heavy duty box.
Types of Stillages we offer
Standard Euro Stillages
A standard Euro stillage has the same width and depth as a standard euro pallet (1200x800mm). This makes these stillages very useful for the consumer as having a Euro Stillage means you can take up the maximum amount of space in a lorry when transporting goods.
These stillages are cheap, stackable and can be easily customised to suit your needs.

Here, we showcase how businesses from diverse industries have leveraged our services to achieve remarkable production results.
Focusing on maximising transportation space, we created a 3D model of a large articulated lorry loaded with our fully custom stillages.
This showed JCB how our products help to increase the amount of room in a lorry and how to help reduce the number of trips needed to carry the same amount of parts.
We work on providing cutting edge transport and storage solutions for automotive giants McLaren.
Taking advantage of our polyurethane moulding and insert department, McLaren specify a variety of different measurements via thorough designs.
We take these and provide a fully bespoke output featuring the highest-quality materials and levels of production.
Lotus supplied us with CAD data for parts to be stored in one of our bespoke stillages. We designed a fully customised solution around the CAD drawings.
Taking this brief, we’ve completed thorough drawings and designed how the stillage will look.
With prototypes provided and approval secured, the bespoke stillages have revolutionised both transport and storage for Lotus.

Our Services
CAD Design
CAD software allows our stillages to meet every characteristic of a project’s requirement, every time.
3D Printing and Modeling
3D printing of product inserts and product pieces help stillage manufacturers to reduce lead times of their shipments with quick turnarounds of prototypes.
Polyurethane Mouldings
Eliminating elements of risk for valuable or fragile parts, having PU fitted inside the stillage is a perfect way to minimise movement of your parts during transportation.
PVC Inserts
Using PVC dunnage inserts for custom-designed dividers and compartments can help to further maximise the benefits of using stillages.
