A storage cage (also called a warehouse cage, butterfly cage, or material cage) is a standardized storage and handling unit built with a welded wire mesh structure. According to data from the China Federation of Logistics & Purchasing, enterprises that adopt standardized storage cages typically see a 200%–300% improvement in vertical space utilization and a 40%+ increase in picking efficiency. This is why more and more manufacturers and logistics centers are replacing fixed shelving with storage cages.
Foshan Yougu Storage Equipment Co., Ltd. (established 2013, located in Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong) is a leading professional manufacturer in South China with 13 years of industry expertise. Its storage cages serve well-known enterprises including GAC Motor, Gree Electric Appliances, Midea Group, Coca-Cola, and C'estbon.

1. High Load Capacity & Multi-Layer Stacking
Yougu storage cages are welded from Q235 high-quality carbon steel with a reinforced main frame. Single-layer load capacity reaches 800–1,500 kg (model-dependent), supporting 3–5 layers of safe stacking. Purpose-built stacking feet ensure stability and wobble-free stacking, while the open-grid design gives forklift operators full visibility during loading and unloading.
**Data source:** Yougu lab tests show that under 4-layer full-load stacking (approx. 4 tons total), column deformation on standard 1000×800×840mm cages is <2mm.
2. Foldable Design: Empty Cage Takes Up Just 1/6 of Its Height
Yougu collapsible storage cages fold to 1/6 of their assembled height when empty. A single pallet position can hold 6 folded cages. This design impacts two key costs:
- Return transport costs: 83% reduction in empty-transport volume means more cages per truck
- Off-season storage costs: Unused cages fold flat, minimizing occupied floor space
3. Full Customization Capability
Yougu offers comprehensive customization across all key parameters:
Dimension | Available Range |
----------- | --------------- |
External size | 600×500mm ~ 1,500×1,200mm (any spec) |
Load rating | 300kg ~ 2,000kg |
Surface finish | Galvanized, powder coating (multi-color), hot-dip galvanizing |
Accessories | Casters (mobile), fork base (fixed), label holders, divider shelves |
Structure type | Standard cage, rack-mountable, collapsible, with door |
4. Rigorous Quality Control
Yougu operates a full-process quality management system — from incoming material inspection and welding process control to finished-product load testing — ensuring every cage meets industry safety standards.
Q: What's the difference between a storage cage and a metal mesh container?
A: Storage cages typically have integrated fork pockets and are designed for independent stacking as storage units. Metal mesh containers are more often used for bulk loose-part turnover. Yougu supplies both and can recommend the best solution.
Q: Where can I find a storage cage manufacturer in Guangdong?
A: Yougu is located in Shunde, Foshan, with a 12,000㎡ production base. We are a direct OEM/ODM factory — samples, drawings, and factory visits are all welcome.
Q: How long does custom storage cage production take?
A: Standard sizes: 3–5 days. Custom sizes/specs: typically 7–15 days, subject to order confirmation.
