Typical applications
Our scaffold stillage shines in real-world scenarios where organisation is key. On bustling construction sites, it securely holds scaffolding tubes (up to 48mm diameter) and timber scaffold boards, preventing trips and damage while complying with site tidy-up protocols. Rental yards love it for inventory management; you can stack multiples to maximise vertical space in tight warehouses. It’s also a staple for maintenance teams in industrial settings, such as oil rigs or high-rise buildings, where quick access to fittings means less downtime. Pair it with optional steel bins for smaller components, and you’ve got a complete storage ecosystem that adapts to your needs.
Safety and compliance
Safety isn’t an afterthought; it’s built in. With a robust 1.4-tonne SWL and reinforced central bar, this stillage withstands heavy loads without wobbling or failing, even under daily rigours. The forklift-friendly base ensures stable lifts, minimising drop risks, while the open-post design allows easy visual checks for overloads. Fully compliant with BS EN 8516-92 standards for scaffolding storage, it meets UK construction regulations, giving you peace of mind on inspections. We recommend regular load audits and non-slip matting for extra grip—because protecting your crew is priority one.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ's)
What exactly is a scaffold stillage?
It’s a metal cage-like pallet designed specifically for stacking and storing scaffolding components, keeping everything off the ground and organised.
Is it stackable?
Yes! You can stack up to six high, making it a space-saver in crowded yards.
Can I lift it with a forklift?
Yes, the wide feet and reinforced base make it forklift-ready for easy transport.
What materials does it store best?
Primarily suited for organising aluminium or galvanised steel scaffold tubes (especially shorter sections or offcuts) and timber scaffolding boards (typically 38mm thick × 225mm wide, BS 2482-compliant in 8ft, 10ft & 13ft lengths). For tubing, check our galvanised steel scaffold tubes (48.3mm diameter, 3.2mm wall, 5ft–21ft lengths) or aluminium poles (lighter, 4mm wall, shorter lengths ideal for bin storage).
How does it improve site safety?
By elevating materials off walkways, reducing clutter, and enabling quick audits—fewer hazards mean fewer incidents.
Can I use it to store scaffold boards vertically or horizontally?
Both work well. Most people store boards horizontally (flat) in stacks of 8–12, depending on thickness. Vertical storage is possible but less common because it takes more height clearance when stacking stillages.
Can the stillage be used for anything other than scaffolding materials?
Definitely, it’s popular for storing metal fencing panels, reinforcement mesh, ladders, trench struts, or even site plant such as traffic cones and barriers. Its versatility is one reason so many hire fleets keep dozens on hand.
