Advanced Mesh Guarding Solution Sets Industry Standard for Secure and Efficient Warehouse SafetySpaceGuard Products, a North American leader in wire mesh security solutions and protective guarding systems, is proud to highlight its BeastWire®'s pallet rack safety solution, a durable wire‑mesh panel that mounts to pallet racks to keep stored items contained and secure. BeastWire® is the most advanced and flexible solution available for modern warehouses and manufacturing environments. Engineered for both safety and operational efficiency, BeastWire® delivers unrivaled durability, streamlined integration, and comprehensive asset protection tailored for evolving industry needs.BeastWire® is designed for universal installation, adapting seamlessly to nearly any rack configuration and saving valuable time and labor on both retrofits and new projects. The system includes innovative, adjustable bracket options, including the exclusive patented Grrripper Bracket, the industry’s first and only drop-in bracket for teardrop uprights. The Grrripper Bracket offers a safer method of attachment for installers working at extended heights and can be installed over 80% faster than other brackets available. This technology, along with robust bolt-on brackets with multiple offset positions, ensures a custom fit for every bay, from protective coverage above uprights and inside tunnels to full-width side enclosures. The Grrripper Bracket’s unique drop-and-lock action secures panels swiftly and safely, establishing rock-solid connections and exceptional flexibility for both standard and challenging installations.Engineered for strength, BeastWire® panels feature fully framed and welded 10-gauge wire mesh, with an optional 6-gauge mesh for high-impact environments. Reinforced with cold roll steel angles and tamper-resistant welded doors, the system stands up to the rigors of demanding facilities while providing lasting structural integrity. Modular, stackable panels, offered in convenient one-foot increments, accommodate both standard and oversized bays with ease. Splice channels and panel stiffeners further enhance system stability, ensuring safety even in wide or tall applications.BeastWire® enclosures go beyond inventory protection, actively preventing workplace injuries and damage from falling objects. Unlike netting solutions that can tear or break under impact, the welded wire mesh design blocks hazards at the source, while also providing outstanding visibility and ventilation. Secure access solutions, including bi-parting hinge doors, slide doors, and custom entryways, all supplied with lockable hardware, ensure that valuable inventory and equipment remain fully protected against theft and unauthorized access.The entire BeastWire® system is finished with a durable powder coat in standard BeastBlack, with optional colors such as orange, gray, and OSHA blue for enhanced visibility or facility branding. Hot dip galvanizing is also available for environments with harsh conditions, and each system ships with a comprehensive hardware kit, including carriage bolts, flanged nuts, self-tapping screws, and touch-up paint, for streamlined installation and long-term performance.Every BeastWire® installation is backed by an industry-leading 10-year warranty, underscoring SpaceGuard’s commitment to lasting value and customer confidence.

National mining company and minor metals supplier adds heavy-duty pallet rack safety enclosures to protect finished goods prior to being shipped. Inventory management and control are a critical aspect of their day-to-day operations as many metals are rare and extremely valuable.
Moving machine parts have the potential to cause severe workplace injuries, such as crushed fingers or hands, amputations, burns, blindness, or can even prove to be fatal. The proper safeguarding is essential for protecting workers from these otherwise preventable injuries. When the operation of a machine or accidental contact can injure the operator or others in the vicinity, the hazards must be eliminated or controlled.
An international producer of surgical equipment, pharmaceuticals, and vision care products required machine guarding for two processing cells at its Huntington, WV facility. The customer manufacturers, packages and supplies a world leading brand of intraocular lens out of the facility, requiring the highest quality and optimization of process controls.
A national chain of department stores recently upgraded the level of security at its New Jersey distribution center surrounding the packaging operation of its fashion jewelry and watches.
