What Materials are used for Collapsible Pallet Cages?
The mainstream materials for collapsible pallet cages fall into two main categories: basic metal body materials and supporting auxiliary materials. Different materials are suitable for different working conditions, and their prices and service lives vary significantly.
Core Body Metal Materials
Q235 Low Carbon Steel: The most common basic material on the market. It is low in cost and easy to weld and process. A standard single cage costs 100-300 yuan. With powder coating or galvanizing, it can meet the needs of most dry industrial storage scenarios, with a normal service life of 5-8 years.
Hot-dip Galvanized Carbon Steel: Based on Q235 steel, it undergoes hot-dip galvanizing treatment, resulting in a zinc layer thickness ≥80um. This significantly improves corrosion and rust resistance, allowing it to withstand 50%-60% humidity environments. Its cost is only half that of stainless steel, making it a cost-effective choice for humid workshops and temporary outdoor storage scenarios.
304/316 Stainless Steel: A specialized material for high-corrosion and high-cleanliness environments. 304 stainless steel is moisture-resistant and meets food hygiene standards, making it suitable for the food and cold chain industries. 316 stainless steel resists strong acid and alkali corrosion, is suitable for storing special chemical materials, and has a service life of over 10 years, but its price is 2-3 times that of ordinary carbon steel.
Supporting Auxiliary Materials
Hollow board/PP board: Used as a lining inside the cage, it prevents small parts from falling through the mesh and also provides dust protection and anti-static properties. It is commonly used in pallet cages in the electronics and precision hardware industries.
PVC/rubber casters: Installed at the bottom of the pallet cage for manual short-distance movement, suitable for frequent material transfers on production lines. When stacking heavy loads, care should be taken to avoid prolonged weight-bearing on the casters.

Key Considerations for Selecting Stacking Pallet Racks
Stacking pallet racks is an industrial storage equipment that allows palletized goods to be directly stacked to form a three-dimensional storage system, eliminating the need for traditional fixed shelving.
Structure and Principle of Foldable Steel Wire Mesh Container
Foldable steel wire mesh containers are reusable industrial-grade storage and transportation containers made primarily of high-strength welded steel wire with a metal frame.
Classification and Selection of Galvanised Steel Folding IBC
The galvanised steel folding IBC is a collapsible medium-sized bulk container made of hot-dip galvanized Q235 steel. When folded when unloaded, it can save over 60% of storage space, making it suitable for the storage and transportation of liquids and bulk materials.
