OSHA Compliant Aerosol Storage Cages
Aerosol storage cages create a secure, separated storage area for aerosol cans—helping reduce fire risk, prevent accidental punctures, and keep hazardous products controlled and organized.
These enclosures are commonly used in warehouses, maintenance/MRO areas, manufacturing plants, paint and chemical storage zones, and distribution centers.
If your facility stores paint, lubricants, cleaners, adhesives, or other aerosols in bulk, a dedicated cage is often the most practical way to create a clearly defined “aerosol zone” that supports safer operations and easier inspections.

Why Aerosols Need Special Storage
Aerosols can present unique hazards during a fire event—especially when stored in quantity. Industry risk guidance highlights issues like leaking flammables, heat ruptures, and “flaming projectiles” (pressurized cans that can rocket and spread fire).
An aerosol storage cage helps by:
- Containing aerosol product in a designated area
- Reducing accidental damage from forklifts, pallets, or foot traffic
- Supporting safer access control (who can enter, when, and how)
- Improving organization and inventory discipline in hazardous areas
DockStar’s Aerosol Storage Cages (what you’re getting)
DockStar supplies aerosol storage cage systems built from heavy-duty wire mesh partition components designed for industrial environments.
- 1-1/2″ square, 8-gauge woven or welded wire mesh (durable, high-visibility)
- Panels mount flush to the floor
- Hardware accessible from inside (tamper-resistant from the exterior)
- Self-closing doors available/commonly specified
- 2″ square steel support posts with base plates for anchoring
- Panels can stack to height and integrate to existing walls/roof deck conditions
Sizes, Layouts, and Configuration
Aerosol cages are typically built as modular wire mesh enclosures, which makes it easier to fit your footprint, work around columns, and adapt for future expansion.
Common layout options include:
- 3-sided cage (uses an existing wall as the 4th side)
- 4-sided freestanding cage
- Full-height enclosure tied into existing walls/ceiling/roof deck where needed
- Ceiling options
- Clear-spanned ceilings up to 30 ft (depending on design and span needs)
- Supported ceiling options for larger or more complex footprints
FAQs
What is an aerosol storage cage used for?
An aerosol storage cage is a wire mesh enclosure used to separate and secure aerosol cans in a designated area. It helps control access, reduce accidental damage, and support safer storage practices in warehouses, maintenance areas, and industrial facilities.
Do I need a self-closing door on an aerosol cage?
Self-closing doors are commonly specified for controlled storage areas to help limit access and reduce risk. Requirements vary by product type, quantity, and local enforcement, so confirm expectations with your AHJ (fire marshal/building inspector) and safety team.
Do aerosol storage cages require a ceiling?
Not always. Some applications use an open-top enclosure, while others add a ceiling depending on security needs, storage height, and site requirements. A ceiling can be quoted to match the cage footprint when full containment is needed.
Can the cage be built to the roof deck or full height?
Yes. Cages can be configured to the required height, including full-height builds that tie into building conditions. Final height and attachment details depend on the facility layout and installation requirements.
What are aerosol storage cages made from?
They’re typically built from heavy-duty wire mesh panels with industrial steel posts and secure fastening hardware designed for warehouse environments. Mesh type, gauge, and finish can be selected based on the application.
Can I add a lock or access control (badge reader/keypad)?
Yes. Doors can be configured with different locking options, including hardware that supports access control (for example, electrified locking packages). Share how you want to control entry and the door/lock setup can be matched to your needs.
What information is needed to quote an aerosol storage cage?
To quote accurately, provide the inside footprint (length × width), desired height, whether a ceiling is needed, door type and size (hinged or sliding), any self-closing requirement, lock/access preference, and site obstacles like columns, conduit, or sprinkler drops.
Do you offer installation and what affects lead time?
Installation may be available depending on location and project scope. Lead time depends on cage size, height, door/lock options, ceiling requirements, and whether stock components can be used for the layout.
