In some cases, the height of a stillage cage can be adjusted, and there are several common adjustment methods and related considerations, which are detailed as follows:

Adjustable Structural Design

Sectional Telescopic Structure:

Some stillage cages are designed with a sectional telescopic structure. They usually consist of multiple tubular or plate-like components that can slide into or out of each other. Through locking mechanisms like bolts or pins, the components can be fixed at the desired height, enabling convenient height adjustment according to different usage requirements.

Folding and Expansion Structure:

The stillage cage may adopt a folding and expansion design, with its sides or partitions made of flexible materials or articulated components. When in use, it can be expanded to the required height and then fixed in place; when not in use or needing to be stored, it can be folded to reduce the occupied space. This design is often used in stillage cages that require frequent height adjustment or need to be transported and stored in a space-saving manner.

Lifting Mechanism:

A more complex way is to install a mechanical or hydraulic lifting mechanism on the stillage cage. This is similar to the working principle of a lift table. Through the operation of the lifting mechanism, the height of the stillage cage can be adjusted smoothly and accurately. This method is suitable for occasions where precise height adjustment is required, such as in some automated warehousing systems.

Adjustable Accessories

Removable Partition Boards:

The stillage cage is equipped with removable partition boards. Users can add or remove partition boards at different heights according to the height of the goods and storage needs, thereby adjusting the effective height of the stillage cage for different storage requirements.

Adjustable Feet:

Install adjustable feet at the bottom of the stillage cage. By rotating or extending the feet, the height of the stillage cage can be slightly adjusted to adapt to uneven ground or to meet specific height requirements in different working environments.

Customized on-site modification

On-site Welding and Cutting:

For some existing stillage cages, if there is a need to adjust the height, on-site welding and cutting operations can be carried out. However, this method requires professional welding and cutting equipment and skilled workers. It should be noted that such modification may affect the overall structure and stability of the stillage cage, so it is necessary to conduct a detailed structural strength analysis and inspection before and after the modification.

Adding or Reducing Components:

According to the actual situation, components such as additional vertical rods or horizontal beams can be added to the stillage cage to increase its height, or some components can be removed to reduce the height. Similar to on-site welding and cutting, this method also requires careful consideration of the structural changes and stability issues of the stillage cage to ensure its safe use after the modification.

However, not all stillage cages are adjustable in height. Some stillage cages are designed with a fixed structure for specific application scenarios and requirements, and their height cannot be adjusted. When choosing a stillage cage, it is necessary to consider whether the height needs to be adjusted according to the actual usage requirements and then choose the appropriate stillage cage type.
