WireCrafters RapidGuard II Lift-Off Machine Guard System
Lift-Off Machine Guarding System RapidGuard® II features a unique lift-off design that allows for the removal of the guards (panels) while the fixing system (hardware) remains attached to the guards (post), in compliance with RIA TR R15.406. The installation time is 50% faster than most competing products & it can be installed by 1 person due to the Patent Pending T-Slot mounting solution.
RapidGuard® II Panels & Posts Panels are made of 10-gauge welded wire and patterned in a 1 1/4" SQ (center to center). The mesh is then welded into a 1 1/4" x 1 1/4" 13-gauge roll-formed angle. Strong 2" x 2" 14-gauge tube posts have threaded inserts pre-drilled into the posts for quick mounting of the panels.
Key RapidGuard Features ♦ Standard size panels are 6'-1 1/2"H & 8' high by 1' to 5' wide. ♦ Panels install vertically between 6'6-3/4"H & 8'-5 1/4"H Posts (4" sweep). ♦ Fully framed panel adds strength and stability unequaled in the industry. ♦ Hinged and sliding doors available. ♦ Unique lift-off design allows for the removal of guards (panels) while the fixing system (hardware) remains attached to the guards (post), in compliance with RIA TR R15.406 ♦ 5/16"-18 x 3/4" tool removable hardware is compliant with ANSI B11.19 and RIA TR R15.406. ♦ All hardware, including anchors included. ♦ Stock powder-coated black panels & yellow posts. ♦ An integrated lock out plat and pull handle are standard on hinge doors. ♦ Safety interlocks available with mounting plates. ♦ 2" SQ 14GA posts with 6" SQ x 1/4" baseplates ♦ RapidGuard® II is compliant with OSHA and ANSI/RIA safety standards.

What is the RapidGuard II lift-off machine guard system?
RapidGuard II is a wire mesh machine guarding system built around a lift-off panel design, so panels can be removed while the mounting hardware stays attached to the posts. Panels use 10 gauge welded wire in a 1-1/4" square pattern welded into a 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" 13 gauge roll formed angle frame, mounted to 2" x 2" 14 gauge tube posts. CustomMHS carries the full line of WireCrafters machine guarding, backed by the manufacturer's warranty.
What does lift-off design actually mean?
It means the fixing hardware stays with the post rather than coming off with the panel. On a conventional guard, removing a panel means unbolting hardware that then has to be kept track of and reinstalled correctly. With lift-off, maintenance takes the panel out and puts it back without handling loose fasteners, and the guard goes back up the same way every time. That behavior is what RIA TR R15.406 addresses.
What standards does this system meet?
RapidGuard II is compliant with OSHA and ANSI/RIA safety standards. The 5/16"-18 x 3/4" tool removable hardware specifically meets ANSI B11.19 and RIA TR R15.406, and the lift-off design addresses the RIA requirement that fixing systems remain attached when guards are removed. That matters for facilities documenting robotic cell compliance, since the hardware specification is part of what gets verified.
How does RapidGuard II help your facility?
The direct gain is guarding that can be opened for maintenance and closed again correctly, which is where conventional guards tend to fail. When taking a panel off means dealing with loose hardware, panels get left off or reinstalled improperly, and the protection stops being reliable. Lift-off design removes that friction. On hinged doors, an integrated lockout plate and pull handle come standard, and safety interlocks with mounting plates are available, so access points can be tied to equipment controls rather than depending on procedure. Fully framed panels also add strength and stability across the run.
