Increasing warehouse safety with bespoke stillages

Warehouses can be potentially hazardous environments. Prioritising safety is important to ensure the well-being of your staff and prevent any damage to your inventory.

When it comes to warehouse safety, custom-made stillages offer several advantages to standard, off-the-shelf options.

Customised to carry specific loads:

Standard stillages are not designed to perfectly accommodate the size, weight or shape of specific items which can be a safety hazard. Whereas bespoke stillages are made to securely hold specific products and inventory. This reduces the risk of items becoming unbalanced, falling and injuring workers.

Improved stacking stability:

Unlike bespoke stillages, standard containers are not designed for seamless stacking. Tailored stillages are the optimal dimensions and weight for all warehouse requirements, which means they are less likely to collapse and cause accidents.?

Increased warehouse space:

If a warehouse has a unique layout or limited space, bespoke stillages can be designed to optimise storage capacity and increase the flow of materials. This reduces trip hazards and the need for awkward maneuvering which could both lead to worker injuries.

Reduced product damage:

Incorrectly sized or designed stillages can lead to parts shifting or moving throughout transport. This can then cause damage and incur expensive replacement costs. Custom-made stillages are designed to fit products and components perfectly, minimising the risk of damage.

Comply with legal obligations:

Occupational health and safety regulations require that workplaces meet minimum safety standards. Using old and worn-out stillages could lead to products or parts falling and causing obstructions, resulting in danger to employees. By investing in quality, tailored storage solutions, businesses can ensure that all warehouse safety requirements are met. This is important as failing to comply with regulations can lead to repercussions such as business closure.
