In the modern logistics and warehousing system, storage cages, as standardized logistics containers integrating storage, transportation and management functions, are becoming standard equipment for e-commerce warehousing, manufacturing factories and third-party logistics companies with their excellent space utilization efficiency and intelligent management advantages. This storage tool with both flexibility and durability is redefining the spatial aesthetics and efficiency philosophy of warehousing management.
I. Product Definition and Core Features
Storage cages, also known as warehouse cages and butterfly cages, are formed by welding Q235 high-wire steel. The frame structure is welded by high-quality steel pipes and galvanized mesh. The bottom is equipped with channel steel reinforcement ribs, and the load-bearing capacity can reach 800-1500kg. Its unique butterfly cage structure design enables a single cage to achieve a folding ratio of 1:4. After folding, the volume is only 1/4 of the unfolded volume. With the international standard 12001000890mm specifications (non-standard sizes can be customized), it is perfectly suitable for all kinds of shelves, forklifts and transport vehicles. The surface is galvanized or spray-painted, which makes it rust-resistant and wear-resistant. Its service life can reach 5-8 years, which is 3-5 times that of traditional storage containers.
II. Five core advantages reconstruct warehouse management
(I) Revolutionary breakthrough in space utilization
Three-dimensional storage: 4-5 layers of safe stacking can be achieved, and the volume ratio is increased by 60% when used with shelves. The storage capacity of the same warehouse area is increased by 30% compared with traditional pallets
Dynamic space management: The empty cage occupies only 0.2㎡ after folding, and 100 folding cages only need 20㎡ of space, saving 80% of idle space compared with fixed storage equipment
Transportation efficiency doubled: It can be stacked in multiple layers in the folded state, and the transportation volume of a single vehicle is increased by 4 times, reducing the empty cage return transportation cost by more than 60%
(II) Construction of a visual management system
Standardized unit: Each cage is equipped with a metal nameplate and RFID chip slot, and supports barcode and QR code information entry
Transparent structure: The mesh design realizes 360° blind-angle inspection, the cargo status is clear at a glance, and the inventory efficiency is improved 50%
Classification management module: Rapid identification of different categories and batches of goods through color differentiation (standard yellow, blue and gray)
(III) Improved efficiency of the entire process
Easy loading and unloading: Equipped with forklifts and hydraulic pallet trucks, the loading and unloading time of a single cage is less than 30 seconds, which is 8 times more efficient than traditional manual handling
Process connection: Supports seamless connection of "storage-transportation-distribution" to achieve unitized flow from factory workshop to distribution center
Safety protection: The cage door adopts galvanized latch lock, and the anti-dumping design ensures stability during stacking, and the damage rate of goods is reduced by 40%
(IV) Cost optimization of the entire life cycle
Durability investment: high-quality steel and surface treatment technology, adapt to -20℃ to 50℃ ambient temperature, salt spray test for more than 1000 hours
Recycling: International standard size supports rental sharing model, and the initial investment cost of small and medium-sized enterprises is reduced by 70%
Environmental value: 100% Recycling and reuse is in line with the development trend of green warehousing, reducing the use of disposable consumables such as plastic pallets.
(V) Intelligent upgrade and adaptation
IoT access: reserved chip installation position, supporting real-time data synchronization with WMS warehouse management system
Automation compatibility: adapt to AGV robots, stackers and other intelligent equipment to help unmanned warehousing transformation
Data traceability: through unique coding to achieve full traceability of goods flow, meet the compliance requirements of food, medicine and other industries
