Our roll cages come in all shapes and sizes from basic 2 sided units to full security Roll cages with mesh panel sides and lid which are lockable to prevent the theft of any products in the roll cage. In the UK, Roll Cages fall within 3 main configuration types- A Frame nesting roll cages, Z Base nesting roll cages and Demountable roll cages. A Frame nesting roll cages fold up when not in use and nest into the back of each, similar to shopping trolleys. Z base roll cages fold up but nest into each other diagonally. Demountable roll cages come apart, i.e. the sides detach from the base in simple steps and then can be stacked up. All our Roll Cages are made here in the UK at our modern factory in Kettering using modern robot welding lines and automated equipment. All steel used is prime steel, predominantly sourced within the UK, and conforms to the required test certification. The customers name can be stamped onto a nameplate if required or for the ultimate in asset security, we can continually stamp "property of xxxxxxxxx" into the tube work. This custom roll-marking is an effective form of theft deterrent.
If these mobile ladders are required to be used as access platforms, then the top panel is removed and a safety chain fitted. The brake unit must be engaged and is especially important for when stepping of the mobile ladder onto the access platform and descending the steps to ensure that they do not slide underneath you. Mobile ladders are not only used in warehouses, but also in retail shops especially in DIY and furniture retailers. These mobile ladders are restricted in use to trained employees only and not for the general public. Often notices are fitted stating this and belts or chains fitted across the steps preventing access.
Mesh sided Stillages tend to be fitted with mesh infill sides. Units can be in all different configurations from 3 sided units to 4 sided with full drop front doors or alternatively half drop. Half drop fronts allow good access into the box pallet whilst still retaining good load retention properties. Most stillages can be securely stacked on top of each other to save space. The box pallet may be mounted on cupped feet with similar cups fitted to the top of the unit to receive another cage above. Some applications require a standard wooden pallet to be converted into a secure 4 sided unit or pallet converter. These stillages are ideal to convert a cheap wooden pallet into a secure structure and then disassemble and store when not in use. These pallet converters can again be stacked on top of each other, when full of product and in use to save space. The sides would be typically made of tube and inlaid with mesh panels, ladder style, to secure small items when in use.
The automotive industry is a large user of automotive stillages both as second and third tier suppliers manufacturing small component parts and also for the supply of major items such as fully assembled engines and wheels and tyres. All items are bought to the assembly line in box pallets ready to have the parts taken out and fitted. When empty, the stillage is removed and replaced with a full one with the empty units being returned to the supplier ready for the next delivery.
Another variation of the plastic box is the attached lidded container, or ALC for short. The attached lidded container is a plastic tote box with integral hinged lids that can open, in a simple step, for nesting and close to seal up the box and give the container stacking properties. Roll Containers Handling Ltd also stocks a range of second hand plastic tote boxes available at competitive prices. The European Standard Range is a modular stacking container which is based on a standard range of non-nesting plastic boxes made to a pan-European specification and includes plastic crates, plastic bins and plastic trays. This range allows differing types of plastic container to stack on a common footprint size to suit varying products.
Roll Containers Handling supply a vast assorted array of materials handling equipment centred around the
Plastic Pallet. The traditional wooden pallet is still used in many industries, however, an increasing number of applications require hygienic and washable materials handling equipment for which
plastic pallets are an ideal solution for this problem being both steam cleanable and splinter-free. They also do not contain any nails which can result in rust. A variation in our range of
plastic pallets is the bulk box or folding box pallet. The
bulk box is based on a plastic
pallet but has integral hinged plastic sides which form a stacking plastic box and can also fold flat when not in use saving space for storage. Half drop plastic doors allow access into the bulk box even when stacked. The folding box, as well as the
Plastic Pallets, are available in many sizes and configurations, some light weight and some heavy duty and available from stock.
A post pallet is a steel pallet with corner posts, either fixed or removable which allow the post pallets to be stacked to save space. We manufacture post pallets to any size or specification
Most lorries travelling up and down our motorways have some form of load control equipment for the load restraint needs of the load. The most common form is the lorry strap, or ratchet strap. These straps vary in size depending on the load and the size of vehicle. A 5 ton heavy duty ratchet strap is an industry standard unit and widely used across the transport industry. Another variation is the over centre buckle strap used in box trailers for securing roll pallets when in use. This type of ratchet strap hooks into tracking down the side of the trailer and secures the load. Ratchet straps are also used as cargo straps on large vehicles and allow loads to be lashed to the lorry bed. Curtain sided trailers have straps fitted to fasten the curtains to lad load control. These curtain straps, which are a form of ratchet strap, often get damaged and need replacing which we can supply from stock..
We can offer other methods of cargo restraint other than ratchet straps. These are
load bars or
cargo stays. There are 2 types of Load bars available. Rigid load bars sit in cups which are located in
load bar tracking down the side of box trailers and are adjusted to suit the load. The other type are
sprung load bars which spring straight into the tracking and can be moved simply be pressing the load bar inwards to release. Cargo stays are cramps which are similar to load bars but have rubber pads on their ends which negate the need for tracking to be fitted. Cargo stays can also be fitted vertically to secure unusual
loads.
All garden centres need garden centre trolleys for customers to use when shopping in their garden centres. These trolleys are similar to shopping trolleys in supermarkets but have 2 large diameter mobile wheels to enable the garden centre trolley to roll over rough or un-even ground. The trolley is well balanced with the axle under the centre of the garden centre trolly making it comfortable for all types of customer. The trolley has a well proportioned mesh basket allowing a mix of items to be placed inside. It is a simple step to push the garden centre trolley up on it's end to store when not in use.
All our garden centre trollies are zinc plated in finish, the same shiny coating as a shopping trolley. Our trolley handle is also plastic coated which gives a nice comfortable feel to the hand when the customer is using the garden centre trolley. Many garden centres use a mix of trolleys and shopping trolleys depending on the floor surface of the garden centre. Our range of trolleys varies allowing for each garden centre to choose the type of garden centre trolley they require. Our best selling trolley is the GCR1 garden centre trolley which is a robust general purpose trolley suitable for all types of application. We also have the compact GCR1 garden centre trolley which is a smaller cousin and suitable to smaller garden centres or for narrow aisles.
