Machine guarding solution
Perimeter Guarding & Safety Fencing
Modular mesh fencing, posts, doors and controlled access for production lines, automated systems and hazardous work zones.
Direct answerWhat it is and where it fits
Perimeter guarding creates a defined physical boundary around machinery or an automated process. A complete system normally includes posts, mesh or solid panels, access gates, fixings and—where entry creates risk—interlocks, guard locking or trapped-key arrangements.
Where it fits
Typical applications
A project-specific assessment confirms the final design, but perimeter guarding & safety fencing is commonly used for:
- 01Automated assembly lines
- 02Palletising and depalletising areas
- 03Multi-machine production cells
- 04Conveyor transfer zones
- 05Warehousing and sortation equipment
- 06Hazardous test or process areas
Configuration
Designed around the environment and access task.
The physical form is selected after the hazard, safe distance, containment, hygiene and maintenance needs are understood.
Black, yellow or project-specific powder-coated finishes
Standard and tall panel heights
Hinged, sliding and double access gates
Kick plates and solid lower sections
Mesh apertures selected for safety distance
Floor levelling and offset brackets
Engineering method
How we develop the solution.
Set safe distances
Position panels and choose mesh apertures with reference to reach prevention and the relevant project standard.
Engineer access
Use fixed panels where routine access is unnecessary and controlled gates where access is required.
Plan for change
Use modular sections and documented layouts so future extensions and modifications are manageable.

Technical questions
Perimeter Guarding & Safety Fencing FAQs
Answers are general; the machine-specific assessment controls the final design.
How high should perimeter guarding be?
Height depends on the hazard, surrounding access, climbing opportunities and the relevant safety-distance assessment. It should not be selected by a single rule of thumb.
Can perimeter fencing include material openings?
Yes. Openings can be designed for conveyors, pallets or products, but reach-through and reach-over risks must be assessed and additional tunnels, flaps, sensing or distance may be needed.
Can you extend an existing fencing system?
Often yes. We first identify the existing panel format, post pitch, condition and safety implications, then design compatible additions or a controlled transition to a new system.
