Cage A Frame 3 Sided Mesh

Versatile, space-efficient, and built for the rigours of daily commercial operations. The HFRSL008 3-Sided A-Frame Mesh Cage Trolley is a practical, open-access cage solution for the movement, storage, and organisation of goods in warehouses, distribution centres, retail back-of-house areas, and logistics environments where operatives need fast, unobstructed access to cage contents without the constraints of a fully enclosed unit.

The open third side delivers a significant handling advantage in fast-paced picking, replenishment, and goods movement operations — allowing stock to be loaded and unloaded quickly from the front without having to navigate a gate or door, reducing handling time and improving workflow efficiency throughout the working day. Where security is less of a priority than speed and accessibility, the HFRSL008 is the natural choice over its fully enclosed counterpart.

Constructed throughout from lightweight mild steel, the HFRSL008 achieves a substantial 500kg safe working load while remaining manageable for operatives to position and manoeuvre, even when heavily loaded. The frame is finished in bright electroplated zinc with a lacquer top coat, providing durable corrosion resistance and a clean, professional appearance suited to both warehouse and customer-facing retail environments.

An integrated fold-back shelf sits within the cage to create a separation between different goods or layers of stock, minimising load-on-load damage and enabling basic organisation of mixed loads without additional equipment. When not required, the shelf folds flat against the cage side to restore the full internal capacity. The nesting function allows empty cages to be stored inside one another in a compact formation, recovering valuable floor space between delivery cycles or during quieter operational periods.

Customisation options include identification plates or tube stamping for department, customer, or route identification, supporting efficient cage tracking and stock management across large operations. Health and safety labels are fitted as standard, and four 125mm PP castors — two fixed and two swivel — provide stable, controlled movement across hard flooring surfaces.

SEO-Focused FAQ Section:

What is the difference between the HFRSL008 and the HFRSL009 cage trolley? The HFRSL008 and HFRSL009 share the same core frame dimensions, 500kg safe working load, and general construction. The key difference is enclosure: the HFRSL008 is a 3-sided open cage, providing fast and unrestricted front access for loading and unloading. The HFRSL009 is a 4-sided full security cage with a fold-down lid and door that fully encloses the contents. The HFRSL008 is the better choice where speed of access and handling efficiency are the priority, while the HFRSL009 suits applications requiring product security and controlled access.

What is the safe working load of the HFRSL008 cage trolley? The HFRSL008 has a safe working load of 500kg. Its lightweight mild steel construction keeps the empty cage practical to handle, while the robust frame and reinforced castor mounts are designed to withstand regular heavy loading in demanding commercial environments.

How does the nesting function work on the HFRSL008? The nesting function allows multiple HFRSL008 cages to be stored compactly inside one another when empty, significantly reducing the floor space required during storage periods. This is particularly valuable in high-throughput warehouses and distribution centres where empty cage management and space recovery are ongoing operational priorities.

Can the HFRSL008 cage be customised for identification? Yes. The HFRSL008 can be fitted with identification plates or tube stamping to assign cages to specific departments, customers, delivery routes, or stock categories. This supports efficient cage tracking, organised stock rotation, and accountability across large warehouse and logistics operations.

What is the integrated shelf used for in the HFRSL008? The fold-back integrated shelf can be deployed to create a physical separation between different items within the cage, preventing damage from direct contact between goods and enabling basic stock organisation within a single unit. When not needed, it folds flat against the cage side to maximise the usable internal volume for bulkier or larger loads.

What castors are fitted to the HFRSL008 cage trolley? The HFRSL008 is fitted with four 125mm PP (polypropylene) castors — two fixed and two swivel. This configuration provides stable straight-line movement when the cage is pushed in a consistent direction, while the swivel castors allow controlled turning and manoeuvring in tight warehouse aisles, loading bays, and retail corridors.
