Questions
Frequently asked
The things procurement and engineering teams ask us most. Can't see yours? Call 01889 563 244.
What are your typical lead times?
Typical lead time is 3-4 weeks from confirmed specification. We manufacture in-house in Uttoxeter, so we control the schedule end to end — and can discuss priority timelines for urgent projects.
Can you manufacture bespoke or non-standard sizes?
Yes — bespoke is our default, not an exception. Our own CAD engineers design to your exact dimensions and load ratings, and we can quote a fully custom solution within 24 hours of receiving your requirements.
Are your stillages and cages certified and load-tested?
Everything is engineered and independently load-tested under an ISO 9001 quality management system. UKCA certification is not applied to standard products as a matter of course — it is provided where a build calls for it, and as standard on our certified lifting range. Material certificates and test documentation are available on request for regulated supply chains.
Do you deliver across the UK?
Yes. We deliver UK-wide from our Staffordshire facility, and can arrange scheduled or phased deliveries to support national rollouts and multi-site programmes.
Is there a minimum order quantity?
No fixed minimum — we supply everything from single bespoke units through to high-volume production runs, with pricing that scales for larger quantities.
Can I get a price before committing?
Absolutely. Use the online configurator for an instant indicative price, then request a formal, no-obligation quote — our engineers confirm the detail and return it within 24 hours.
What steel and finishes do you offer?
We fabricate from certified structural steel and finish to your spec — standard paint, special RAL colours, or hot-dip galvanising for outdoor and washdown environments.
Can you match or replace an existing stillage?
Yes. Send dimensions, photos or a sample and our engineers will reverse-engineer a like-for-like — or improved — unit, fully documented and certified.
