A-Frame Stillages – Everything You Need to Know
Discover how A-frame stillages can improve the storage and transport of glass, stone, metal sheets, and other flat materials with enhanced safety and efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About A-Frame Stillages
1. What is an A-frame stillage?
An A-frame stillage is a specialist metal storage and transport frame designed in a triangular “A” shape. It securely holds fragile and flat materials like glass panels, stone slabs, and metal sheets to prevent movement and damage during storage or transit.
2. What are A-frame stillages used for?
A-frame stillages are widely used in construction, glazing, manufacturing, and logistics to store and transport fragile materials safely. They help keep materials upright and organised, reducing the risk of breakage.
3. How does an A-frame stillage prevent product damage?
These stillages include rubber padding, securing straps, and clamps to prevent items from shifting or getting scratched. Their sturdy frame minimises vibrations, reducing the chance of chips or cracks during handling.
4. What materials are A-frame stillages made from?
A-frame stillages are typically constructed from heavy-duty steel, offering high strength and durability. Many feature protective coatings such as powder coating or galvanisation to prevent corrosion and enhance longevity.
5. What industries commonly use A-frame stillages?
- Glazing & Glass Manufacturing – Secure transport and storage of glass panels.
- Stone Masonry – Handling and transporting heavy granite, marble, and stone slabs.
- Metal Fabrication – Storage and movement of sheet metal and large metal parts.
- Construction & Engineering – Safe storage for materials on-site.
- Warehousing & Logistics – Optimised warehouse storage solutions.
6. Are A-frame stillages customisable?
Yes! A-frame stillages can be customised with:
- Adjustable securing clamps for different-sized materials.
- Rubber padding to prevent scratches and reduce vibrations.
- Forklift pockets or castor wheels for easy transport.
- Custom dimensions based on unique storage needs.
7. What is the weight capacity of an A-frame stillage?
Depending on the model, A-frame stillages can support loads ranging from 500 kg to over 2,000 kg. Heavy-duty versions can be engineered for even higher weight capacities for industrial applications.
8. How do A-frame stillages save space in storage and transport?
Due to their vertical storage design, A-frame stillages optimise space by allowing materials to be stacked efficiently. This reduces the floor area required in warehouses and during transportation.
9. Are A-frame stillages easy to move?
Yes! Many models include built-in forklift pockets or heavy-duty castor wheels, making them easy to transport within warehouses, work sites, or between locations.
10. Can A-frame stillages be used outdoors?
Yes, A-frame stillages are ideal for both indoor and outdoor use. Galvanised or powder-coated models provide enhanced corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even in harsh weather conditions.
11. How do I secure materials on an A-frame stillage?
- Adjustable straps to hold materials in place.
- Padded brackets to reduce movement and vibrations.
- Non-slip rubber surfaces to protect delicate materials.
12. What are the standard dimensions of an A-frame stillage?
Standard sizes typically range between 1.2m – 3m in length. However, custom options are available to meet specific industrial requirements.
13. How do A-frame stillages improve workplace safety?
By keeping materials secure and upright, A-frame stillages reduce the risk of toppling and workplace accidents. This ensures safer handling in warehouses and job sites.
14. Are A-frame stillages stackable?
Some models are stackable, allowing for vertical space optimisation in warehouses and during transport.
15. What maintenance is required for an A-frame stillage?
- Cleaning to remove dust and debris.
- Checking for rust or signs of wear and tear.
- Inspecting securing straps or clamps for effectiveness.
16. How long do A-frame stillages last?
With proper care, A-frame stillages can last 10+ years, making them a long-term investment for businesses.
17. Can A-frame stillages be rented instead of purchased?
Yes, some suppliers offer rental options, which may be a cost-effective solution for short-term projects.
18. What should I consider when buying an A-frame stillage?
- Load capacity and weight requirements.
- Custom features such as padding or clamps.
- Corrosion resistance for outdoor use.
- Ease of transport, including forklift access.
