Need Versatility? Explore the Benefits of Wire Mesh Panels

In the material handling space, nothing is more important than keeping your employees safe and your assets secure. Due to their versatility, wire mesh panels are perfect for both, and have nearly endless other industrial applications! Whether you&#;re looking to keep employees safe from hazards, or secure valuable tools and equipment, there&#;s an application that will fit your needs. 

Security Applications

Storage Cabinets and Lockers

Made with either welded or woven wire mesh panels, wire enclosures are perfect for storage cabinets and lockers. Their modular design makes them popular in apartment and condo complexes. They are ideal for creating storage solutions in parking decks or other common areas, allowing tenants to securely store items on-site. Similar enclosures are also popular with municipalities for evidence and holding cells.

Smaller, more personal-sized lockers are often used in technician dispatch locations. These technician lockers can be loaded by parts managers from one side, with drivers and technicians only having access to the other side. When combined with a padlock, card reader or other personal lock, drivers only have access to their supply of parts and tools.

Driver Cages

If you are looking to control the amount of access drivers or other external visitors have to your warehouse or distribution centers, a driver cage is your answer. Cages can be installed around an entrance door allowing drivers into your building to escape the elements while also keeping their access limited and protecting them from potential hazards. Cages can be fitted with a service window with a counter and benches.

Server Cages

With today&#;s digital landscape, protecting the integrity of business data has never been more crucial. Woven wire partitions and cages are ideal for protecting the servers hosting your most important data. Made from high gauge steel and various grid patterns, these panels secure data centers from physical harm, while also ensuring proper air circulation and ventilation is maintained for optimal performance.

Safety Applications

Machine Guards

While keeping facilities and materials secure is important, employee safety is paramount. When used as machine guards, wire cages and partitions provide a barrier between workers and automated machinery. They can also protect against injuries from machine malfunctions or projectiles created during the machining process. When fitted with a welding guard or curtain, additional protection is provided from sparks and welding flash.

Pallet Guards

Wire panels can also be attached to pallet racks, protecting employees from falling items. When attached to racks, these panels provide a more effective rigid protection than netting. Panels can also be mounted on a track of rollers on the front of racks for added security of high-value products.

Are you looking to improve safety or security in your facility? Wire mesh cages or partitions may be the solution! Contact the material handling experts at Conveyer & Caster &#; Equipment for Industry to learn how we can build a custom solution to fit your needs.

The wire mesh container is one of a very important type of logistics container in storage and transportation. With advantages of fixed storage capacity, neat stacking, clear storage, easy inventory, etc., and also improves the effective utilization of storage space. Huameilong mainly produces two types of storage cages, one is the JP & USA type (model W series) and the other is the EU type &#;model F series&#;; Asian countries & North America prefer the W series, and Europe and the Africa country prefer the F series; These two types of cage appearance are very different, but some designs are identical. Let's take the W series cage as an example to make a detailed description. Do you know the following designs?

A. Common Design

1. I.D. plates

Some well-known enterprises or large-scale buyers will choose to add their brand when buying products, with logos or company names or product models on it. On the one hand, it is recognizable, which can unify the company's image; on the other hand, it can play the role of promoting corporate characteristics. People will order or purchase products through the information conveyed by the logo. The sign is usually welded in front of the mesh. Some customers will also choose to print relevant information on the position of the bottom leg. Of course, if you don't have the above two requirements, then you don't need an ID plate.

2. Wheels

Wheels are one of the most common designs. Add 4 wheels to the bottom of the cage to improve transportation efficiency. Generally, there are two fixed wheels and two swivel wheels with brake. The storage cage with this structure is convenient for turnover, and in some specific environments, if the bottom of the storage cage has high requirements or it is forbidden to scratch the ground of the warehouse, etc. , So mobile storage cage has become the first choice. Wheel size is generally 5 inches. However, the carrying capacity of the mobile storage cage is not as good as that of the fixed storage cage, and long-term turnover may damage the wheels. Therefore, we must protect the wheels and reduce violent use. When choosing a supplier, you need to pay attention to whether the material of the wheels meets the requirements.

Note: The design of the wheel and the bottom leg do not conflict, you can choose one of these designs, or add both designs.

3. Top Cover

The top cover is also one of the most common designs. with top cover, the cage will be security & lockable, prevent items from being scattered and store things more safely; The top lid is removable when not in need if connected with a hinge. And the lid is fixed with the cage if connected with clips, That can be base on your requirements.

4. PP Sheet

PP sheet is a semi-crystalline material: lightweight, non-toxic, non-polluting, waterproof, shockproof, anti-aging, corrosion-resistant, and rich in color. There are two types&#;solid and hollow. Hollow PP sheet is lightweight and environmentally friendly and is a popular new material on the market. Compared with cardboard structure products, the hollow sheet has advantages such as moisture resistance and corrosion resistance. Some customers will choose to add PP sheet, on the one hand, it can prevent small objects from falling off the grid, on the other hand, can also increase the protection of objects. widely used in the PET preform industry.

Huameilong currently using the latest PP material, the thickness of the solid PP plate is between 0.8mm to 2mm, and the thickness of the hollow plate is between 2mm to 4.5mm.

B. Special Design

1. Forklift Guide

There are two types of forklift guides, one is the 4- pcs small-angle type and the other is the 2 pcs long Guide type. The 4 pcs- angle type uses less material and is welded with 4 small channels on the base, which is light in weight; The long type is welded on the base with 2 large channels, which is heavier. They are generally used with handling machineries, such as transportation, handling, loading and unloading, storage with forklifts, elevators, hydraulic pallet trucks and other equipment to improve handling efficiency. If the load- capacity is light, you can choose the four-small type. If the load- capacity is heavy, it is recommended to choose the long-length type. The transportation will be more stable. meanwhile &#;With long Guide, It's very safe and convenient to turn over the cage.

2. Runner Bar

There are two advantages to add the bar runner. With the bar runner, the cage can be sitting on the racking systems very safely. When stacking, originally 4 bottom legs were placed on the mesh, now there are not only 4 bottom legs, but also 2 support plates, which increase the support strength of the mesh and can play a more stable role.

3. Divider

Due to storage needs, some customers will choose to add a mesh inside the cage. On the one hand, the product can be fixed with the divider, on the other hand, the product can be better classified. The divider can be added horizontally or vertically. The size can be customized.

4. Swing Loop

The swing loops are generally welded at the four corners above the cage. The storage cage can be moved by forklift or pulled by crane. The design of the lifting ring is matched with the crane, which is widely used in the heavy industry.

5. U Frame support

U frame support welding on the foot. When the cage is folded and then stacked, instead of stacking directly on the mesh, but to stack on the U frame support to avoid deformation of the mesh and reduce damage. This design is very workable and extends the service life of the storage cage to a certain extent.

6. Stiffener

The stiffener is essentially steel wire, which is usually cross-welded on the back or side, which can strengthen the toughness of the cage and make the mesh surface stronger and less deformable.

The above describes the top ten designs of cages, do you understand them? Each design is to make better use of products. We are committed to helping every customer to organize the warehouse efficiently.

How To Use Storage Cage Safely

Storage cage have long been widely used in many countries. It began to be used around the s and gradually expanded to other countries. So far, after continuous improvement, it has been gradually improved. With the rising labor cost and people's more and more understanding of various applications of warehouse cages, it will be used more and more widely. Taking Japan as an example, in addition to being widely used in manufacturing, supermarkets, logistics distribution centers, three-dimensional warehouses, packaging and transportation, and other fields, wire mesh cages are also widely used in agriculture and fishery, which greatly improves labor productivity.

The cage is made of welded steel wire, can be stacked four layers, high strength can complete the three-dimensional storage. In the process of use, the staff must master safety knowledge, otherwise, there will be some unnecessary troubles, so what aspects should we pay attention to when using the storage cage?

The cage is made of welded steel wire, can be stacked four layers, high strength can complete the three-dimensional storage. In the process of use, the staff must master safety knowledge, otherwise, there will be some unnecessary troubles, so what aspects should we pay attention to when using the storage cage?

1. Wear gloves when handling

During the assembly of the steel cage, it is necessary to check whether the bottom U-shaped bend is embedded in the U-shaped groove. Because it is a rough iron product, the staff must be careful when handling it manually. We can wear gloves to avoid pinching and scratching.

2. Avoid super height

The height of the wire mesh container and the height of the stacking are fixed. When loading the stack, the staff must confirm that the foot cup has been securely stuck on the mesh of the next cage, and pay attention to the distance of the anti-slip buckle. The storage cages must be operated one by one when they are stacked, and they cannot be stacked together at the same time. Another point is that if it is not a custom-made cage with a lifting ring, it cannot be operated with a crane. 

3. Add PP sheet or cardboard

The warehouse cage opens the door bolt, and the upper folding door can be placed to place items, but in the case of a certain size of the cage, the size and weight of the stored items depend on the specifications of the metal cage (wire thickness, bottom plate U-shaped groove thickness and net Grid density). Some objects that cannot be scratched or are easily scratched on the surface (such as some plastic parts, sheet metal parts after surface coating, etc.) can also be stored in a wire mesh cage, but PP boards or cardboard must be added to the inner wall of the storage cage. Protect objects from harm. 

4. Eliminate overloading

Each layer of storage cages has a certain load force, and the storage weight of the second layer of metal cages should not exceed the bottom layer. Place heavy objects on the bottom and lighter on the top, otherwise, the cage will deform or even collapse. When placing items into the cage, considering the size of the upper storage cage legs when stacking, the best height for storing items should be 3cm below the edge of the storage cage. It is strictly forbidden to store the items above the edge of the storage cage, otherwise, the forklift is moving the cage. The items in the cage below will be damaged.  

5. Avoid shock

When handling equipment such as forklifts, be careful not to hit the storage cage.

6. Eliminate illegal operations

Especially when accessing goods, it is forbidden for workers to stand by the cage to avoid danger. Keep away from them.

The purpose of the wire mesh cage is to store the goods and the turnover of the goods. Especially for heavy duty cages, generally speaking, the weight of the goods it stores is relatively heavy. The storage and retrieval process requires auxiliary applications such as forklifts. If improperly operated, the storage cage will be damaged, and even safety accidents such as collapse will occur. Therefore, the workers operating in the warehouse must not only learn how to manage the wire cage but also pay attention to their safety.

The above is all about the safe use of storage cages, I hope to help everyone. Our quality is reliable, the technology is strong, and the price is reasonable. If you need storage cages, please contact our customer service staff on time. We will provide you with quality service and welcome to cooperate with us.
