Novameta Metal Stillage 1600 for Professional Kitchens

A stillage is a rigid metal frame that holds containers, trays or loose goods off the floor. It allows trolleys and pallet trucks to lift and move the load as a single unit, keeping stock organised and reducing manual handling in busy kitchens.

The Novameta Metal Stillage 1600 is built as a four-sided cage on a base that matches standard pallet dimensions. The open construction lets air circulate around stored items, preventing condensation and keeping ingredients or finished dishes at a stable temperature during short-term holding.

To use the stillage, place containers or loose items inside the frame until the total weight reaches the safe working load. Secure the load with straps if needed, then slide a pallet truck or lift truck under the base and raise the stillage clear of the floor. The unit can then be moved to storage, prep areas or delivery points without repacking or restacking individual items.

Construction is from welded steel sections, giving a strong, stable structure that resists deformation under load. The frame stands 1800 mm high, providing vertical storage space that maximises room in tight kitchen layouts. Overall footprint is 1600 mm long by 600 mm wide, matching standard aisle widths and allowing side-by-side placement in walk-in cupboards or refrigerated stores.

The stillage supports up to 120 kg, making it suitable for bulk ingredients, packaged goods or stacked trays of prepared food. Its size and weight capacity allow it to replace multiple smaller racks, reducing clutter and speeding up stock rotation.

Cleaning is straightforward: wipe down the steel frame with a damp cloth and approved sanitiser after each use. The open design leaves no corners where debris can collect, and the smooth surfaces prevent snagging on packaging or clothing.
