Steel cages can help protect valuable assets, such as critical spare parts, from damage, pilferage, theft, or loss while in storage. Whether you’re working in a warehouse, workshop, mine site or managing a remote post, metal cages, steel stillages and steel mesh cages lend themselves to a range of applications and operational requirements, with the purpose of keeping your critical spare parts, equipment, tools and other items, secure. In this post, we’ll look at the types of steel cages that suit different work environments, and the features that can help ensure the security of critical parts.
Steel Cages to Protect Inventory in Large Storage Rooms
Manufacturing and industrial facilities always have that large storage room that is important for storing crucial supplies, materials, or shipment. For extra security, steel cages can be used inside the storage rooms to limit the access of people who can come and go into the storage rooms. Even if people can enter the storage room, the steel cage inside keeps whatever is vital locked away. Solutions such Stackable Steel Mesh Cages or Timber Based Storage Cages can be quickly padlocked, with items listed on a label that’s clearly displayed on the front of the cage. This not only ensures visibility and organisation of parts; it helps secure the cages within your storeroom so unauthorised staff don’t have access.
Cages Increase Security and Efficiency for Workshops
Keeping parts together when you’re working on equipment can be difficult. So can ensuring that items don’t go missing when there is a busy workplace with multiple projects and staff. Steel mesh cages are often used in high-volume workshops to protect and organise parts or keep them at-the-ready until the next job arrives. DAYWALK cages can be stacked on the floor or placed in pallet racking with a pallet jack or forklift. This allows for greater flexibility with workshop space, while having one cage to hold all relevant parts with clear visibility for workshop staff. Like to learn more? Read the Case Study.
Metal Cages as an Alternative to Secured Stock Rooms
For industries or facilities with limited space, a durable metal cage or several steel cages can take the place of a secured stock room The steel cages can protect stocks and inventory since the steel cage walls are made of steel mesh. It’s the perfect way to prevent pilferage, without having to provide a dedicated space. Cages, such as the Xyphos Heavy Duty Steel Cage measures 800mm high, and offers a 1T UDL working load limit, providing ample capacity for your parts. The stackable DAYWALK cages provide a flexible opportunity to maximise floor space, so you can load cages on top of each other (up to 4 high, depending on the model and situation), while still ensuring they are within reach for staff. There’s a cage for every application, so learn more about which cage suits your business by viewing our range of steel cages online.

Remote Site Drop Points
For mining and remote locations, allowing staff secure access to tools, parts and other vital equipment can be difficult. However, DAYWALK has engineered sheeted stillages that provide all-weather protection in a padlockable and stackable stillage. Stillages can be packed and secured at the facility, then put on the back of a ute or truck and taken out to the remote post. Staff who require access to the stillage will be provided the padlock key, so there’s no confusion about which equipment is required for that particular project.

Enhancing Safety During Transportation with Steel Cages
Steel cages with steel mesh walls are good at securing inventory, cutting down on pilferage while enhancing safety in industrial spaces or while in transit. When critical spare parts, materials, and high-value inventory are transported, metal cages with hinged doors or lids with locks provide the best layer of security against threats posed by smash and grab thieves, especially if a land trip involves travelling at night or on roads along uninhabited areas. Steel cages are also stackable inside trucks or shipping containers, saving space and being able to transport more cargo. The same safety and practical aspects apply with transporting using metal cages if the cargo involves products, such as chemicals, that may be harmful to people or property. Go the extra step and choose cages with hinged doors or lids with locks, so that your goods are secured and can only be accessed with permission from an administrator. DAYWALK offers a range of cages with either mesh or metal floors, fold-down gates, various heights and dimensions, and forklift or pallet jack compatibility to ensure efficient handling and transport.
If you’re looking for certified transport solutions, such as steel pallets or transport frames, DAYWALK also offers a pre-engineered range that can secure and protect your assets. These are transport rated, clearly feature load capacity and come with QR coded guidance or staff assistance on how to load and restrain safely. The frames offer the next level of safety for your goods if they travel by road, with the certified pallet and frame range meeting the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) compliance obligations.
