STORMWATER PIPE . PVC FITTINGS . STACKED . OFF THE FLOOR .
Steel stillages for long stormwater and PVC pipe, and mesh cages for the bulky fittings that eat your floorspace — junctions, bends and access chambers caged, countable and off the floor. Every bundle forks off in one lift, stacks to six high and folds flat for the return run. Designed, tested and shipped across Australia & New Zealand.
Built for the way a plumbing merchant runs
Stormwater pipe stillages
Long PVC and stormwater pipe held off the floor in a steel stillage so straight lengths stay straight, ends stay clean and the whole bundle forks off the rack in one lift. Short cuts store vertical in upright posts; long lengths ride horizontal across the frame.
PVC fittings cages
Big PVC fittings — junctions, bends, reducers, saddles and access chambers — take up serious floorspace loose. Cage them in a mesh frame with a centre divider and two sizes ride together, countable, visible and off the floor.
Bulky fitting storage
The fittings that eat a store — 90° bends, Y-junctions, inspection tees and DWV bends — stack inside a cage instead of sprawling across the yard. One footprint holds what used to be a whole pallet stack.
Pick & pack
Cages roll through the pick face as mobile bins. Pick into them, stage them by order, fork them to dispatch — no loose trolleys, no repacking at the truck.
Returns & over-runs
Bring back unused stormwater pipe and PVC fittings in the same cage they went out in. Counted, re-binned and back on the shelf in minutes, not piles on the counter.
Tie down & transport
Fork pockets, lifting lugs and a square frame make the cage easy to tie down and transport — pipe and fittings ship as one secure unit, two high in a truck.
Short cuts upright. Long stormwater lengths on their side.
The same stillage frame stores pipe two ways. Short PVC cuts and off-cuts drop into vertical upright posts so they stand clean and stay sorted by length, while long stormwater runs ride horizontal across the top of the frame so straight lengths stay straight and the ends never touch the floor. One frame, every length, your call on how it rides.
Short pipe — vertical
Cuts and off-cuts stand upright in steel posts, sorted by length, ends clean and easy to grab.
Long pipe — horizontal
Full lengths lay across the frame so they stay straight, the ends stay clean, and the bundle forks off in one lift.
Post & pipe stillage — built for the awkward lengths.
Stormwater pipe, PVC lengths, steel posts, downpipe — anything long and awkward rides horizontal between upright corner posts. The front rail lifts out so full lengths slide straight in from the front or the forklift, then the rail drops back in to contain the load. Rated to 1,000 kg, forkable from all sides and stacking four high, so the longest stock in the yard stops leaning against the wall and starts stacking like everything else.
Removable loading rail
The front rail lifts out for loading and unloading — long lengths slide straight in, no lifting over the frame and no wrestling a bundle over the top.
1,000 kg, stacks four high
A full tonne of pipe per stillage, interlocking four high — four bundles of long stock on the footprint of one, with no racking to bolt down.
Pipe off the floor. Fittings out of the aisles.
Pipe off the floor
Long stormwater and PVC pipe rides upright in a steel frame, not leaned against a wall where it bows, kinks and blocks the aisle.
Bulky fittings caged
Junctions, bends and access chambers sit in a mesh cage with a divider — the fittings that ate your floorspace now stacked, not sprawled.
One lift off the rack
Fork the whole bundle off in one go — pipe, fittings or a kitted job — instead of handling it piece by piece.
No shrink wrap
Nothing to wrap, nothing to cut open at pick — and no single-use plastic film heading to landfill.
Stack six high
Loaded cages interlock and stack up to six high in the store with no fixed racking to install or bolt down.
Folds flat for returns
Empties fold flat in seconds, so the truck brings back roughly four times the cages it delivered.
Three footprints, including a stormwater pipe stillage
| Size | Footprint | Safe load | Typical use |

| Small | 800 × 600 mm | 500 kg | PVC fittings, bends, junctions, small parts |
| Medium | 1,200 × 800 mm | 1,000 kg | Bulky PVC fittings, access chambers, pick bins |
| Stormwater pipe stillage | 1,200 × 1,000 mm | 1,000 kg | Stormwater, PVC and waste pipe, upright |
| Post & pipe stillage | 1,200 × 1,200 mm | 1,000 kg | Long pipe, posts & awkward lengths — removable loading rail |
Plumbing supply questions we get asked
Tell us the stock you carry and how it gets picked and handled. We size the cage and stillage around your store, not the other way round.
How do stormwater pipe stillages and PVC fittings cages free up floorspace?
Long stormwater and PVC pipe rides off the floor in a steel stillage instead of leaning against a wall, and the bulky fittings — junctions, bends, access chambers — sit in a mesh cage with a centre divider instead of sprawling across the yard. Every bundle forks off in one lift, stacks to six high, and folds flat for the return run — so the floor stays clear and the crew keeps moving.
Can the stillages hold long stormwater and PVC pipe without bending it?
Yes. Upright posts and a square steel frame keep straight lengths straight and ends clean. Tell us your longest stock length and we size the stillage so the pipe rides supported, not sagging.
What's the divider for in a PVC fittings cage?
A centre upright divider splits one cage into two compartments, so two fitting types — bends and junctions, DWV and SWV, two job kits — ride in the same frame without mixing. It also keeps lighter fittings from being crushed under a full load.
How high can they stack?
Loaded cages and stillages interlock and stack up to six high in a store or yard, so the same footprint holds six times the stock with no fixed racking to install or bolt down.
What happens to empties?
Empties fold flat in seconds, so a truck brings back roughly four times the cages it delivered and your yard is not full of empty frames.
What finish do they come in?
Painted in a hard-wearing RAL powder coat as standard, with a heavier-duty coating available for yards, exposed stores and humid plumbing warehouse environments.
Can they be colour-coded by category?
Yes. Colour, plates and numbering can be set for volume runs so cages track to a category — stormwater, PVC, DWV, SWV — or a branch and hire fleet.
How does the post & pipe stillage load long lengths?
The front rail lifts out, so long stormwater pipe, PVC lengths, steel posts and other awkward long stock slide straight in from the front or the forklift — no lifting over the frame. Rail back in, and the bundle is contained for stacking and transport.
Do you build custom sizes for odd stock?
Custom solutions for your unique requirement are available for bulk orders. Tell us the stock you carry and how it gets handled and we spec the frame around it.
