Wire Mesh Container
Heavy-duty collapsible wire mesh containers engineered for secure warehouse storage, high-density stacking, and efficient inter-plant transport. Welded steel mesh delivers unmatched visibility, ventilation, and load capacity β trusted by manufacturers in 57+ countries.
What Is a Wire Mesh Container?
A wire mesh container β also known as a storage cage, pallet cage, collapsible wire basket, or mesh stillage β is a heavy-duty steel container fabricated from COβ robot-welded wire mesh panels mounted on a U-channel steel chassis. Designed for bulk storage, high-density stacking, and inter-plant transport across warehouses, factories, and distribution centers.
Unlike single-use wooden crates or cardboard packaging, wire mesh containers deliver 360Β° visibility, full ventilation, inherent fire resistance, and a 10-15 year reusable lifespan. Their collapsible design folds flat to just 1/4 height when empty β slashing return logistics costs by up to 75% and freeing valuable floor space for productive use.
Storage Challenges We Solve
Traditional packaging and loose storage create costly inefficiencies. Wire mesh containers eliminate these pain points from day one.
Product Damage & Loss
Loose goods on pallets or in cardboard boxes are vulnerable to crushing, toppling, and moisture damage during stacking and transit.
Poor Inventory Visibility
Opaque crates and sealed boxes require opening each unit to verify contents, wasting time and increasing errors during picking operations.
Wasted Vertical Space
Non-stackable containers and irregular goods leave valuable overhead space unused, forcing expensive warehouse expansion.
High Packaging Costs
Disposable wooden crates and cardboard generate recurring material costs and mountains of non-recyclable waste every month.
Expensive Return Logistics
Rigid containers occupy full trailer space during empty return trips, effectively doubling your transport cost per unit.
Fire & Safety Hazards
Wooden and plastic storage containers are flammable, creating fire risks and violating safety codes in many regulated facilities.
Key Features & Benefits
Gieantech wire mesh containers combine robust engineering with smart design for maximum warehouse efficiency.
Heavy-Duty Load Capacity
Welded steel frame supports up to 2000kg per unit. Stack 4-5 layers high for 8000kg+ column capacity β zero deformation.

Half-drop gate and hinged walls fold flat to 1/4 height when empty. Fit 4Γ more empties per truck β slash return logistics costs 75%.
360Β° Visibility
Open 50Γ50mm wire mesh on all sides enables instant visual inspection, barcode scanning, and RFID tracking without opening each unit.
Forklift & Crane Ready
U-channel steel base with 4-way forklift entry. Compatible with pallet jacks, overhead cranes, and AGV automated handling systems.
Corrosion Resistant
Hot-dip galvanized (80-120ΞΌm) or powder-coated finish. Withstands moisture, chemicals, and UV exposure for indoor/outdoor use.
Superior Ventilation
Full mesh airflow prevents moisture buildup, odor, and condensation β ideal for food, agriculture, and pharmaceutical goods storage.
Eco-Friendly & Reusable
100% recyclable steel replaces disposable packaging. 10-15 year lifespan eliminates thousands of wooden crates and cardboard boxes.
Tracking & Label Ready
Integrated label holders and card slots on each panel. Compatible with RFID tags, barcodes, and WMS inventory management systems.
Container Types & Configurations
From collapsible designs to heavy-duty fixed frames β choose the right wire mesh container for your operation.
