Packaging & Description
Port: Shanghai Port, China
Description: Fold storage cage (butterfly cage) is made of high-quality steel hardened by cold welding, featuring high strength, large load capacity, and durability. It is convenient for transportation, reusable, and helps reduce storage and packaging costs. Suitable for workshop, warehouse, transportation, and even as display shelving in supermarkets.
About Our Heavy-Duty Foldable Steel Storage Cages
The heavy-duty foldable steel storage cage, also known as a butterfly cage or mesh container, is a core component of modern warehouse logistics and storage systems. It is used across various industries to achieve efficient, organized, and space-saving storage and transportation of goods. Our custom-made galvanized cages are engineered for maximum durability, load capacity, and operational efficiency.
Premium Material & Robust Construction
Our cages are primarily manufactured from high-quality Q195 or Q235 steel wire, which is cold-drawn and hardened to ensure superior strength. This material provides exceptional rigidity and impact resistance, making the cages ideal for heavy-duty industrial use. Each cage features a precision-welded mesh structure with a high-strength, burr-free finish for safe handling and long-lasting performance. The surface is treated with electro-galvanizing or powder coating for enhanced anti-corrosion properties.
Key Features & Operational Benefits
Designed for a long service life, these cages excel in demanding environments. The foldable (collapsible) design is their standout feature, allowing them to be folded flat when empty, saving up to 80% on storage and return shipping space. Their stackability enables secure vertical storage up to four tiers high, maximizing warehouse cubic space. The drop-down gate design facilitates easy access to goods even when stacked, while the four-way fork lift entry allows for convenient handling from all sides. These features collectively contribute to the lowest possible long-term maintenance and operation cost.
Application Industries & Usage Scenarios
These versatile storage cages are perfect for a wide range of material handling tasks. They are highly effective in manufacturing plants, logistics and distribution centers, warehousing, and even retail environments like supermarkets for display and storage. They are suitable for storing and transporting a vast array of items including automotive parts, packaged goods, raw materials, and recyclable items. Industries such as e-commerce fulfillment, third-party logistics (3PL), manufacturing, and agriculture find these cages to be a reliable and reusable alternative to disposable cartons or wooden crates.
Customization & Quality Assurance
We specialize in providing tailor-made storage solutions. From dimensions (length, width, height) and mesh opening size to wire gauge and surface treatment color, we can customize the cages to fit your specific supply chain needs and storage rack systems. Our commitment to quality is demonstrated through rigorous manufacturing controls. Packed securely on pallets, the cages arrive ready for immediate use.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Find quick answers to common questions about our galvanized steel storage cages and wire mesh container solutions.
Product Specifications & Usage
Our most popular standard size is 1200mm (L) x 1000mm (W) x 890mm (H), which is compatible with common pallets and racking systems. Load capacity typically ranges from 800kg to 1500kg depending on the wire thickness (6.0mm to 6.4mm) and construction design. We provide detailed specification sheets and can customize dimensions to fit your specific aisle width and storage height.
Yes, absolutely. Our cages are designed for seamless integration with material handling equipment. They feature a four-way fork entry base, allowing forklifts or pallet jacks to access them from any side for easy movement. The robust U-shaped steel bottom ensures stability and weight distribution during transport.
When fully loaded, our cages are engineered for safe stacking up to 4 tiers high, which is the industry common standard. This is enabled by the interlocking stacking feet and the inherent strength of the welded structure. Always ensure the load is evenly distributed and does not exceed the rated capacity per tier.
Customization & Ordering
Yes, we specialize in customization. Key modifiable parameters include: overall dimensions (LxWxH), wire gauge/thickness, mesh opening size (e.g., 50x50mm, 50x100mm), type of gate (drop-down, full-opening), surface treatment (electro-galvanized, hot-dip galvanized, powder coating in various colors), and the addition of accessories like wheels, lids, or internal dividers.
Lead time depends on order quantity and customization level. For standard models, typical production lead times range from 10-35 days. Shipping time varies by destination and method (sea freight is common). We provide detailed lead time estimates based on your specific order and can arrange shipment from major ports like Shanghai.
Durability & Maintenance
With proper use, our cages have a service life of up to 10 years or more. The galvanized or powder-coated finish provides excellent rust and corrosion resistance, protecting the steel from moisture and harsh warehouse environments. Powder coating offers additional benefits like a wider color choice and a smoother surface that resists chipping.
The primary advantage is massive space savings when not in use. Foldable cages can reduce storage volume by up to 80% when returned empty or stored between shipments. This drastically cuts return freight costs and warehouse space requirements, making them a highly efficient and cost-effective choice for cyclical logistics operations.
They are incredibly versatile and used in: Manufacturing (storing parts), Logistics & 3PL (order picking, cross-docking), Retail Distribution, Automotive, Agriculture, and Recycling. Any industry that requires organized, secure, and reusable transport/storage for bulk items can benefit from them.
