Security Roll Cages
Built for 3PL Operations
Protect multi-client inventory, eliminate shrinkage disputes, and enforce chain-of-custody across every dock and fulfillment center — with heavy-duty steel cages that move where your freight moves.
The 3PL Inventory Problem
Shared facilities create shared risk. Here is where most 3PLs bleed margin.
Shrinkage claims erode margins
When inventory goes missing in a shared facility, the 3PL absorbs the claim. Without physical segregation, you can't prove which client's goods were touched — or by whom.
Audit trails are paper-thin
Regulators and enterprise clients increasingly require documented chain-of-custody. Open racking provides none. A locked cage with a sign-in log does.
Client onboarding is slow
Allocating dedicated floor space for every new client is expensive and inflexible. Mobile security cages let you spin up a new client zone in hours, not weeks.
High-value SKUs need more than a shelf
Electronics, pharmaceuticals, luxury goods, and regulated products require a physical barrier — not just a bin location in your WMS.
Why 3PLs Choose CargoLock
Every feature is engineered for multi-client, high-throughput logistics environments.
Hardened lock mechanism
Dual-point locking bar with padlock hasp. Resists pry attacks and bolt cutters. Re-key between client rotations.
Welded mesh panels
Contents visible for cycle counts without opening the cage. No clipped joints that can be disassembled from inside.
Forklift & pallet jack ready
Standard ITA Class II fork pockets on every base. Move full cages between dock doors without unloading.
Fleet pricing at 10+ units
Volume discounts start at 10 cages — the typical minimum for a single client account. Scales to 100+ unit deployments.
Stackable when idle
Nest up to 4 empty cages in the footprint of one. Reclaim floor space when a client account is between shipment cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why do 3PLs use security roll cages instead of open shelving?
Open shelving gives every worker access to every client's inventory. Security roll cages create a physical barrier that enforces client segregation, reduces pilferage, and provides a clear chain-of-custody record. When a client files a shrinkage claim, a locked cage with a documented access log is your best defense.
How many CargoLock cages do most 3PLs start with?
Most 3PL operators start with a fleet of 10–25 cages to cover their highest-value client accounts, then scale as they onboard new clients. CargoLock offers fleet pricing on orders of 10 or more units, and all models are stackable for efficient storage when not in active rotation.
Can CargoLock cages be used across multiple client accounts?
Yes. CargoLock cages are designed for multi-client environments. Each cage can be re-keyed or fitted with a new padlock between client rotations. Color-coded cage tags or label holders (available as accessories) make client identification instant on a busy dock floor.
What is the weight capacity of CargoLock security roll cages?
The CL-500 handles up to 1,500 lbs of evenly distributed load. The CL-400 is rated at 1,200 lbs and the CL-300 at 900 lbs. All models ride on heavy-duty 6" phenolic casters rated for warehouse floors and dock plates.
Do CargoLock cages work with standard pallet jacks and forklifts?
Yes. All CL-series cages include forklift entry pockets on the base frame, compatible with standard 27" ITA Class II forks. They can also be moved by hand on smooth warehouse floors using the integrated push handles.
