Machine Guarding

Our machine guarding solutions are designs to ensure maximum safety and efficiency for your machinery.

We provide bespoke guarding solutions tailored to your specific requirements. Each system is designed with durability and safety at its core, ensuring reliable protection even in the most demanding environments. Our expertise covers a wide range of applications, from safeguarding machinery to creating secure work areas, providing solutions that meet the highest safety standards.

Modular & Adaptable

Our machine guarding solution is fully modular in design, making it exceptionally adaptable to changes in layouts or operational requirements. Whether used for general equipment or robot guarding, the system’s flexibility allows for easy reconfiguration, enabling you to add, remove, or reposition panels and gates as needed. This adaptability ensures that your guarding can evolve alongside your machinery and production requirements.

Access Gates

We offer a versatile range of access gates designed to cater to the majority of applications. Whether you require personnel access, equipment maintenance entry, or material transfer points, we have options to meet all requirements. These gate types integrate seamlessly with our machine guarding and robot guarding systems, ensuring optimal safety, functionality, and compliance with industry standards.

Maintenance Access

Our machine guarding systems provide maximum protection without compromising space efficiency. Designed for close installation against machinery or robot guarding zones, they also offer easy access when needed. Using industry-compliant tools, panels can be quickly and safely detached for maintenance or repairs. This combination of robust safety and flexibility makes our guarding ideal for environments requiring safe, accessible machinery while maintaining compliance.

Impact Protection and Barriers

Our impact protection and barrier systems are designed to provide outstanding safety while offering the adaptability to meet the evolving demands of your facility. Prioritising both compliance and practicality, these barrier systems deliver dependable protection in high risk areas, ensuring the safety of assets and personnel.

Our Guarding Solutions

Modular Guard Panels

Flexible mesh or solid panels that form the backbone of industrial safety guarding systems. These create secure enclosures around hazardous machinery while allowing visibility and airflow.

Impact & Collision Protection Barriers

Robust protective barriers around conveyors, racks, or machinery to absorb vehicle or equipment impacts, protecting personnel and reducing downtime.

Guarding Posts & Framework

Heavy‑duty upright posts and support structures that form the framework for machine safety panels, allowing scalable and custom layouts across your factory floor.

Low‑Profile Mesh Panels

Lighter, slimmer panel options for lower‑risk zones or where sightlines are critical, offering protection without overwhelming the workspace.

Access Doors & Safety Gates

Purpose‑built safety doors, including hinged and sliding options, for controlled access to guarded areas, enabling maintenance and inspections without compromising machine safety.

Operator Safety Enclosures

Full enclosures around robot cells or cutting stations that isolate moving parts and reduce risk of accidental contact.

Interlock Locks & Switches

Safety‑rated interlock devices that tie guard door position to machine operation, preventing equipment from running when access panels are open.

Machine Perimeter Fencing

Fixed perimeter fencing to define and secure the workspace around automated lines, reducing access risk and supporting regulatory compliance.

Integrated Cable Management Guarding

Guarding systems designed with integrated cable trays and accessory space to neatly protect wiring and automation hardware without compromising safety.

Custom Guarding Design & Integration

Tailored guarding solutions designed around your specific machinery, plant layout, and safety requirements, ensuring full compliance and operational efficiency.

FAQs

What is machine guarding? Machine guarding refers to physical barriers, safety fences, or enclosures installed around equipment to prevent access to moving parts and reduce the risk of injury.

Why is machine guarding important in industrial environments? Machine guarding protects operators and maintenance staff from hazardous motion, reduces the risk of accidents, and helps ensure compliance with HSE, PUWER, and CE/UKCA regulations.

What types of machine guarding do you supply? We supply modular mesh panels, solid panels, safety doors, interlock systems, cable management fencing, and custom-built enclosures tailored to your machinery and layout.

Are your guarding systems modular and customisable? Yes. Our modular guarding solutions allow for easy reconfiguration, expansion, or relocation as your process or workspace evolves.

Can you integrate interlocks or access control into your guarding? Absolutely. We offer safety interlock switches, coded access systems, and door monitoring integrated directly into your guarding solution for maximum protection and control.

Do you supply robot cell guarding? Yes. We build and install guarding systems specifically for robotic cells, palletisers, and automated production areas — designed to meet collaborative and traditional robot safety requirements.

What are the advantages of modular safety fencing? Modular systems are easy to install, cost-effective to modify, and require minimal downtime for adjustments — ideal for fast-paced or growing production environments.

Can your guarding systems be installed with conveyors? Yes. We provide guarding around conveyor lines, including openings for product transfer and operator access, with full compliance to safety regulations.

What is a machine perimeter fence? A machine perimeter fence is a fixed safety enclosure that isolates hazardous equipment from surrounding work areas, preventing unauthorised access during operation.

Do you offer guarding with integrated cable management? Yes. Our guarding can be supplied with built-in cable trays and brackets, allowing clean, safe routing of electrical, pneumatic, or data cabling.

How do you access machinery for maintenance with guarding in place? We install safety-rated access doors — including hinged, sliding, or lift-off panels — equipped with interlocks or sensor switches to ensure safe access during servicing.

Can your guarding systems be used in cleanroom or food-grade environments? Yes. We offer stainless steel and hygienic guarding systems for food processing, pharmaceutical, and cleanroom environments, built to industry hygiene standards.

Do you offer guarding for collaborative robots (cobots)? Yes. While cobots are inherently safe, we supply partial guarding solutions to manage pallets, conveyors, or other equipment in the surrounding cell.

What safety standards do your guarding systems meet? Our guarding solutions are designed to meet relevant UK and European safety standards, including BS EN ISO 14120, EN 953, and the latest PUWER regulations.

How are your machine guarding systems installed? Our systems are quick to install with prefabricated panels, bolt-down posts, and optional levelling feet. We also offer full installation and commissioning support.

Can you provide custom-designed safety guarding? Absolutely. We can design bespoke guarding systems tailored to your machine layout, access points, and operational workflow.

Do you offer guarding for warehouse or logistics areas? Yes. We supply impact barriers, racking guards, and modular fencing systems for logistics, fulfilment centres, and distribution operations.

Can your guarding be integrated with light curtains or safety sensors? Yes. Our guarding can be combined with non-contact safety systems such as light curtains, scanners, and presence detection for enhanced protection.
