The Ministry of Defence (MOD) manages critical operations across military bases and strategic defence facilities across the United Kingdom.

  • Securing valuable military equipment, uniforms, and combat gear for the Army, Navy, and Air Force is about efficiency and national security.
  • Every item must be stored securely to protect against theft and environmental damage.

For over 40 years, the MOD has procured from Storwell Systems its high-security galvanised and powder-coated mesh storage cages to meet their strict security and operational requirements.

This robust security solution ensures the safety and accessibility of crucial military assets.

The Strong Secure Partitioning Solution

The Army, Navy, and Air Force, all share a common challenge: the necessity for security with efficiency in managing large volumes of valuable and often sensitive military equipment.

High-security mesh storage cages provide the perfect solution, offering:

  1. High Security -Durable mesh and secure locks prevent unauthorised access, which is vital for military-grade equipment.
  2. Maximised Storage Space: Fully utilising available vertical space and customising cage sizes allows military personnel to store items efficiently, maintaining organisation in high-pressure environments.
  3. Environmental Protection: Galvanized coating offers defence against rust, moisture, and corrosion, keeping equipment in prime condition, even in extreme conditions faced by naval or air force operations.

These cages can be crucial in keeping military personnel safe, equipped, and ready to respond swiftly to any national security threat.

At an Army base in Northern England, soldiers prepare for a major training exercise.

Inside the storage facility, rows of punched steel mesh cages supplied by Storwell Systems securely hold such equipment as:
• Tactical vests • Helmets

• Vision goggles and Boots • Radios

Each cage is equipped with a heavy-duty hasp and staple fitting allowing the MOD personnel to attach their secure padlock, ensuring that only authorised personnel can access the highly sensitive and costly equipment.

Air Force: Sensitive Flight and Mission Equipment

At a Royal Air Force (RAF) station, valuable mission-critical items are securely stored in powder-coated black wire mesh storage cages within an existing secure hangar space.

These cages:

  • Deter loss and theft
  • Enhance the longevity and reliability of high-tech gear
  • Help better organise stored equipment
  • Provide greater security, as these assets are frequently deployed in high-stakes missions where failure is not an option.

The modular design of the mesh storage cages allows for customisation to fit:

  • Bulky flight jackets
  • And small, delicate electronic devices on specialised steel shelving units.

Fast access and quicker inventory management reduce the risk of missing equipment during rapid deployment or routine maintenance checks.
