Storage cage is a kind of metal container used in storage logistics and other fields, the following is about its detailed use:
I. Storage function
Classification and storage of goods
In manufacturing warehouses, storage cages can be used to categorize and store different types of parts. For example, in the warehouse of automobile manufacturing enterprises, various types of screws and nuts can be put into different storage cages, and each storage cage can be labeled with information such as the specifications, models and quantities of parts. This facilitates warehouse managers to quickly find the required parts, improving the efficiency of inventory management.
In the electronics factory warehouse, the different types of electronic components such as resistors, capacitors, etc. were placed in the storage cage, can effectively avoid confusion between the components, and because of the mesh structure of the storage cage, managers can quickly view the general situation of the internal components, convenient inventory inventory.
Unitized storage
For some small, irregularly shaped goods, storage cages can be combined into a unitized cargo assembly unit. For example, in a toy factory warehouse, all kinds of small toys can be put into the storage cage first, and then through the forklift or stacker crane will be more than one filled with toys storage cage stacked up. This unitized storage is convenient for batch movement and management of goods, reducing the number of times goods are handled in the warehouse and improving the space utilization of the warehouse.
Second, handling convenience
Forklift handling
The bottom of the storage cage is usually designed with a structure suitable for forklift operation, such as a palletized base. In logistics distribution centers, when goods need to be moved from the warehouse to the transport vehicle, the forklift can easily insert the bottom of the storage cage to lift and move it. For example, in large e-commerce warehouses, storage cages filled with merchandise can be quickly transferred by forklift between the warehouse racking area and the shipping area, greatly improving the efficiency of cargo handling.
Easy stacking and turnover
The structure of storage cages is easy to stack, and multiple storage cages can be stacked in layers like building blocks. In the case of limited warehouse space, this stacking method can fully utilize the vertical space. Moreover, the cage can be used as a turnover container in the production process within a factory. For example, in a food processing plant, raw materials from the incoming area to the processing plant, and then to the finished product warehouse, can use the storage cage for turnover, which reduces the number of times the goods are changed and reduces the risk of damage to the goods.
Third, protect the goods
Prevent damage to goods
The metal frame and grid structure of the storage cage can provide some protection for the goods. For some goods that are easy to be squeezed and deformed, such as plastic products, paper boxes, etc., the storage cage can play a role in isolation and support. In the warehouse, when the goods need to be stacked and stored, the structure of the storage cage can disperse the pressure to avoid the bottom layer of goods being crushed. For example, in a stationery factory warehouse, cartons filled with notebooks are placed in storage cages, and even if multiple layers of storage cages are stacked, the internal notebook cartons will not be easily crushed.
Anti-theft and loss prevention
Although the storage cage is not completely sealed, but compared with the direct stacking of goods on the ground, it can to a certain extent to prevent the loss of goods and theft. In some open warehouses or logistics yards, goods are placed in storage cages and can be locked with locks, etc., reducing the risk of theft of small goods. At the same time, in the goods inventory process, because the goods are centralized in the storage cage, it is also easier to find whether there is a loss of goods.
