Wire Mesh Containers

What Is a Wire Mesh Container?

A Wire Mesh Container is a reinforced steel structure characterized by interwoven metal rods forming a grid-like pattern on all sides. This design makes it more transparent and more breathable than closed-sided containers, allowing both full visibility of contents and superior airflow. It typically features foldable walls, enabling it to collapse more compactly than wooden crates or plastic bins when not in use. Built to withstand heavier loads and more rigorous handling, a Wire Mesh Container proves more reliable in demanding warehouse and manufacturing settings. BOHONGKE's version is even more adaptable, engineered to be more corrosion-resistant through precision welding and thicker gauge wires, ensuring a longer service life even under continuous loading and unloading.

Materials

Wire Mesh Containers are predominantly fabricated from high-tensile steel wire that is more durable than standard mild steel. The wires undergo an initial cold rolling process, which makes them stronger and more uniform than hot-rolled alternatives. After cutting and weaving into a precise mesh pattern, each panel is welded at key junctions using robotic welders that provide more consistent weld strength than manual methods. To further elevate resilience, BOHONGKE offers optional reinforcements—such as thicker corner posts and heavier gauge bottom frames—which make their containers more resistant to deformation. Quality-grade steel ensures the product can handle more weight than typical retail-grade solutions. In some cases, galvanized steel is used to make the mesh more corrosion-resistant when compared with untreated steel, especially in environments prone to humidity or chemical exposure.

Moreover, BOHONGKE's welded mesh panels are stress-relieved through a controlled heat-treatment process, making them less likely to develop micro-cracks over time. The entire assembly is then subject to a rigorous quality inspection, which is more comprehensive than industry-standard checks, to guarantee each container meets demanding load-bearing and safety requirements.

Applications

Wire Mesh Containers excel in scenarios demanding frequent visual inventory checks and rapid handling. In automotive assembly plants, these containers are more effective at organizing smaller parts while enabling workers to identify contents immediately without opening the container. Compared to plastic bins, their sturdier mesh design can support heavier engine components without bending or collapsing, resulting in fewer replacement costs. In chemicals and pharmaceuticals, a ventilated Wire Mesh Container allows for more consistent air circulation, reducing the risk of moisture accumulation that could compromise the integrity of stored products.

Retail environments benefit from Wire Mesh Containers as they provide a more attractive display option for bulk items, such as sale merchandise, while also offering a more durable solution than cardboard boxes. In logistics and shipping, these containers are more space-efficient: since they fold down more compactly than wooden pallets or crates, they require less space when returned to vendors or during seasonal lulls. Overall, Wire Mesh Containers present a more versatile and cost-effective storage and transport method compared to many rigid or opaque alternatives.

Pallet Cages

Materials

BOHONGKE's Pallet Cages are constructed from materials that are more robust and more reliable than many conventional alternatives. The primary framework utilizes high-strength steel pipes, which are more capable of bearing heavier loads without bending than standard hollow tubing. These steel pipes form a skeleton that is both lighter and stronger than bulky, solid-welded frames, enabling easier handling and transport. The base and the sections where the mesh attaches are reinforced with precision-cut steel plates; these plates are thicker and more impact-resistant than those used in off-the-shelf cages, providing a sturdier foundation for heavy or unevenly distributed loads. For the side panels, BOHONGKE employs tightly woven steel wire mesh, which is more durable and more resistant to flexing than looser, lower-gauge alternatives. Each wire mesh panel is welded to the steel plate inserts using robotic welding systems that achieve more consistent weld strength than manual methods, resulting in fewer weak points and a longer service life.

Applications

BOHONGKE's Pallet Cages excel in environments where both containment and efficient storage are paramount, offering advantages that make them more versatile than simple pallet stacks or shrink-wrapped loads. In automotive manufacturing, these cages provide a more secure solution for transporting bulky components—such as transmissions or engine blocks—by preventing lateral shifting during forklift transfers. The steel pipe frame and reinforced plates ensure that even the heaviest parts stay centered, reducing damage risk more effectively than wood-framed or plastic enclosures. Electronics factories benefit from the increased visibility offered by the wire mesh: workers can more easily identify and retrieve circuit boards or delicate parts, saving more time than when rummaging through opaque containers.

In food and beverage distribution centers, Pallet Cages prove more hygienic than wood pallets because their metal surfaces can be sanitized more thoroughly, reducing contamination risks. The ventilated wire mesh also promotes airflow, preventing moisture buildup and spoilage—advantages that surpass those of sealed crates or closed-top bins. Warehouses with fluctuating order volumes find significant space savings: because the hinged panels fold flat, these cages occupy far less return-trip volume than rigid racks, cutting backhaul costs more substantially. Additionally, in industries handling irregularly shaped loads—like chemical drums or automotive bumpers—Pallet Cages deliver more flexible containment, preventing items from leaning or collapsing compared to open pallet configurations. Retail environments appreciate their stackability and easy access: Pallet Cages can be stacked four or five levels high without compromising stability, enabling more efficient use of vertical space than standalone pallet racks. Overall, BOHONGKE's Pallet Cages offer a more reliable, more space-efficient, and more cost-effective solution across industries, from heavy manufacturing to retail logistics.

Wire Baskets

What Is a Wire Basket?

A Wire Basket is a smaller, more compact variant of wire-based storage that offers greater versatility than rigid bins for organizing and displaying products. Often featuring a simple grid of welded wires, these baskets typically have open tops and handle attachments, making them more accessible than lidded containers. In retail, they present merchandise more attractively than plastic tubs, while in industrial settings, they act as ideal parts holders that can be easily moved from workstation to workstation.

Materials

Wire Baskets are fabricated from medium-gauge stainless or galvanized steel wire, which is more resistant to rust and easier to maintain than raw iron wire. BOHONGKE employs wires that undergo an electroplating process to ensure they have a smoother surface finish and greater corrosion resistance compared to untreated wire. For heavier-duty applications, thicker gauge wire can be specified, yielding a basket that can support more weight and withstand rougher handling. The wire intersections are reinforced by spot welding, creating more consistent joint integrity than soldered connections. All baskets are then subjected to a secondary passivation treatment that enhances surface durability and makes them more hygienic for food or pharmaceutical uses than baskets without such treatment.

Applications

Wire Baskets prove more multifunctional than rigid boxes in scenarios that require frequent handling and component visibility. In retail, they serve as premium display units for clothing accessories, offering an organized yet easy-to-access presentation compared to solid plastic bins. In manufacturing, assembly lines use these baskets to hold and transport small hardware parts between stations; their open design allows workers to see contents at a glance, reducing downtime searching for items. In food processing environments, stainless steel Wire Baskets are more sanitary than plastic containers, as they can be washed at higher temperatures without degrading. Gardening and landscaping businesses also prefer Wire Baskets for carrying tools, as they are more breathable and less prone to trapping moisture than solid-walled boxes.
