What is a gear cage?

A gear cage is an informal term for an equipment storage room. A gear storage room is a designated space or room where gear and equipment used for a specific purpose are kept. This can include equipment such as tools, machinery, and other materials that are needed to perform a particular task or activity. It can be a warehouse, a closet, or a room where all the equipment is organized and safely stored. In most cases, an equipment manager is appointed to follow up on equipment bookings & check-outs.

The gear storage room is used to keep the gear and equipment in good working condition and to ensure that it is readily available when needed. It is typically designed to be well-ventilated and maintained at a suitable temperature to prevent moisture and mold from damaging the expensive gear. Depending on the size and type of equipment, the gear storage room may be equipped with racks, shelving, or other storage systems to keep everything organized and easy to find.

It is also essential to keep track of the gear and equipment in storage, as well as the inventory, to ensure that everything is accounted for and in good condition. This can be done through regular inspections, maintenance records, and inventory management systems.


The term gear cage is often used in the AV industry, where many people come to check out and return equipment. Employees make gear reservations and check out equipment from the gear cage for specific projects, like a shoot or an event, and return the gear to the gear cage when the project is finished.
