Founded in 1995, Marty Mobeck created North American Safety Products with one product, the Original Versa-Guard®.

VERSA-GUARD^® is a professionally designed, highly portable, highly versatile, expanding barricade. It is highly visible, convenient and complies with safety regulations, weighing only 25 pounds, commonly known as “Safety on the Ready”.

There was not a Home Improvement Store, Metro Station, or Manufacturing Facility that a Versa-Guard® would not be found blocking an aisle.

It was through many years of success with the renowned and branded Versa-Guard® that additional products were the next step of our company evolution.

Today, North American Safety Products second generation Nicole Pfeiffer & Jim Pfeiffer have built a versatile product line off the Original Versa-Guard®, turning our company into a machine guarding & perimeter safety industry leader with the Rear-Guard® & the LoaDDox-Guard®.

The Rear-Guard® & The LoaDDox-Guard®

Our North American Safety Products evolution began when Nicole & Jim Pfeiffer engineered the Rear-Guard® as an expandable/retractable machine guard option that is unique to the manufacturing marketplace.  Allowing floor to ceiling access to prominent machine areas.

The introduction of the Rear-Guard® machine guard system to the manufacturing industry was an alternative to the standard industry machine guarding option that was historically a wire mesh panel system, which allowed only limited accessibility to various machines and robotic units.

The North American Safety expandable machine guarding concept had found a market that kept employees safer, while OSHA inspectors approved of the freedom that operators now had, without being caged in- or-out by a wire mesh panel system.  They also noted ease of maintenance and house keeping duties that were commonly prevented by a wire panel system.

The Rear-Guard® maintains visibility and provides floor to ceiling access that a panel system does not allow.  It is fully customizable as a machine guarding or perimeter guarding system.  The Rear-Guard® is also fully customizable for additional accessories such as stainless steel wire mesh or a military grade nylon cloth to prevent flying debris to protect workers.  It also allows for a welding curtain accessory.  Our products are light weight, fast to install, and have no end pinch points.

All of North American Safety Products cross-slats are made from round edge extruded aluminum, with a powder coat finish, with no end pinch points, making our products the smoothest operated gating systems on the market.

North American Safety Products offers our own wire mesh panel systems as our branded Restrict-Guard®.  Our Restrict-Guard® panel system and can be used as a hybrid unit with the Rear-Guard® system creating a complimented addition of guarding.

Jim Pfeiffer has spent years doing on-site safety assessments and facility reviews, and over the years has always brought to our clients attention the most overlooked facility hazard area that has always been overlooked– —The loading dock.

Loading docks are the main arrival and departure area in any facility for truck, trailer, or van pick-ups and deliveries.  Each loading dock presents numerous safety issues which can be mitigated by the LoadDox-Guard® visibility and ventilation.  In the loading dock area trucks, forklifts and workers are all moving in tandem and this hazardous area is always ignored.

The LoadDox-Guard® was designed to provide ventilation, visibility and security on the loading dock.
