Material Handling Safety Challenges

Material handling systems involve constant motion: conveyors, transfers, sortation, lifts, AS/RS and automated vehicles (AGVs/AMRs). These create hazards like pinch points, entanglement, falling loads, and collision risks for operators and maintenance staff.

Proper guarding protects personnel while allowing safe access for jam clearing, maintenance, and system expansion — all while meeting OSHA standards and minimizing downtime.

We design modular, custom guarding solutions that integrate seamlessly with your existing or new material handling equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is safety guarding critical for material handling systems? expand_more
Material handling systems often run continuously and expose operators to moving components. Guarding helps reduce injury risk from pinch points, entanglement, and unexpected motion.
What types of guarding are used in material handling environments? expand_more
Solutions may include fixed guarding, interlocked access doors, tunnel guards, perimeter fencing, and presence-sensing devices based on the application.
Can material handling guarding be modified as systems expand? expand_more
Yes. Custom material handling guarding is designed to accommodate future expansion, reconfiguration, and evolving production needs.
Do your designs support integration with AGVs and AMRs? expand_more
Yes. We engineer guarding solutions compatible with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), including zone protection and safe interaction zones.
