Temporary fence panels are in constant motion—traveling to construction sites, events, or storage yards between rentals. Traditional storage and transport methods, like manual stacking or forklift handling, often lead to damaged panels, workplace injuries, and wasted time. For rental companies, these inefficiencies hurt profitability and reputation. ZND’s innovative storage stillages solve these problems, offering a safer, more efficient way to manage temporary fencing. Here’s how stillages save time, reduce costs, and enhance safety for your business.
The Challenges of Temporary Fence Storage and Transport
Storing and transporting temporary perimeter fence panels is no small task. Panels are typically stacked flat to save space, but this leads to tangled or damaged frames when separated by forklifts or hands. Forklift forks can puncture panels, bend tubes, or create jagged edges, increasing repair costs and reducing panel lifespan. Manual handling poses safety risks, causing strains, cuts, and other injuries.
Disorganized storage makes inventory tracking time-consuming, and the frequent transport demands of weekly rentals amplify these issues. Without a better system, rental companies face higher costs, safety hazards, and operational delays.
How ZND Stillages Solve These Problems
ZND created storage stillages to revolutionize temporary fence management. A stillage is a sturdy metal rack designed to hold panels securely, with removable bars for easy loading and stackable frames for efficient storage. These stillages are compatible with forklifts and eliminate the risks and hassles of traditional methods. Our panel stillages hold 35 panels, and our barrier stillages hold 25 barriers.
Here’s how fence panel and pedestrian barrier storage stillages save you money and time:
Time Savings: Stillages streamline loading and unloading. Instead of untangling panels or counting them individually, you can move entire units with a forklift, saving hours. Standardized stillages also simplify inventory checks, ensuring you know your stock at a glance.
Cost Savings: By preventing forklift damage, stillages reduce repair and replacement costs. Intact panels maintain their professional appearance, satisfying customers and avoiding costly downtime.
Safety: Stillages minimize manual handling, reducing the risk of strains, cuts, and other injuries from pulling apart tangled panels. Safer processes protect workers and lower liability.

Space and Organization: Stackable stillages maximize storage space, keeping warehouses tidy and professional. Neat rows of panels impress clients and streamline operations.
Longer Panel Life: Secure storage and transport prevent dents, bends, or breaks, extending panel usability and maximizing your investment.
ZND stillages are engineered to address the realities of high-frequency temporary fence rentals, ensuring panels stay safe, intact, and ready for the next job.
