Equipment Guards

Protect machinery, equipment, and valuable facility assets with equipment guards from Material Flow. Designed to create a physical barrier between equipment and surrounding traffic, industrial guards can help reduce the risk of accidental contact from forklifts, pallet trucks, carts, vehicles, and other material handling equipment.  Equipment guards and machine protection barriers are useful in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, distribution centers, loading areas, production environments, and other industrial facilities where machinery or infrastructure is located near active traffic. Guards can be positioned around production equipment, electrical panels, control stations, building columns, utility equipment, work areas, and other assets that may be vulnerable to accidental impact.  Depending on the application, available equipment protection may include steel guard rails, floor-mounted barriers, protective posts, corner guards, bollard-style guards, and modular guarding systems. Designs vary by product, with available differences in dimensions, construction, mounting method, visibility, and configuration.  When selecting equipment guards, consider the equipment or area being protected, surrounding vehicle and pedestrian traffic, available floor space, guard dimensions, mounting method, construction, visibility, required access, and facility layout. Protection should be positioned to create an effective barrier without unnecessarily interfering with normal equipment operation, maintenance, or material flow.  Material Flow offers industrial equipment guards and protective barriers for helping protect machinery, infrastructure, and work areas throughout warehouses, manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and other demanding facilities.
