Ability to manufacture modular solutions that can adapt to changing needs
Whether it’s a high-traffic loading dock, a large warehouse, or a manufacturing space with complex machinery, our team can develop a reliable and efficient solution. Each of our custom products is designed to fit precisely within your facility’s layout to ensure operational compatibility and reduced installation time.
Custom Barrier and Gate Solutions
We design several types of custom barriers and gates to protect equipment, staff, and workspaces. These products range from portable barriers for temporary needs to permanent, fixed installations. Our gating systems can help you manage access to restricted areas, section off dangerous machinery, and protect workers within warehouses or loading dock areas.
We also offer automated gate options to increase efficiency in high-traffic zones. Regardless of your needs, we can deliver custom barrier and gate solutions that improve security while ensuring compliance and smooth operations.
Types of Machine Guarding
Machine guarding solutions are an essential way to protect operators from hazardous equipment while meeting OSHA requirements. NASP offers multiple styles of custom machine guarding systems, including:
- 1 Fixed Guards These permanently attached barriers are crafted from durable plastic or metal materials for simple, long-lasting, and low-maintenance protection.
- 2 Interlocked Guards Interlocked guards automatically shut down machines when removed, allowing for safe access during maintenance procedures.
- 3 Adjustable Guards These guards can be adjusted manually to accommodate different material sizes. They lock to ensure optimal safety.
- 4 Self-Adjusting Guards Self-adjusting guards automatically adapt to different-sized materials, opening just enough to allow the object to pass through.
All of our machine guarding products effectively prevent injuries and shield your valuable machinery from accidents and damage.
Industries Served and Custom Applications
Our clients come from diverse backgrounds that range from warehousing, transportation, and construction to highly specialized sectors like food processing. Many of our custom solutions address the specific safety needs of these industries that cannot be solved by an off-the-shelf solution. For example, we can design machine guarding products for loading dock security, production lines, and managing crowds in public spaces. Every product is designed with safety and efficiency in mind, helping facilities enhance productivity while reducing safety risks.
