WireCrafters Style 840 RapidWire Security Cage, 4-Wall

The WireCrafters Style 840 RapidWire 4-wall security cage is a free-standing enclosure with welded wire partition on all four sides and a door in one of them. It needs no existing walls, so it can be built in open floor space. Sizes are listed as width x depth, from 6'-6" x 6'-4" up to 28'-8" x 28'-8". Stock system heights are 8'-5-1/4", 10'-5-1/4" and 12'-5-1/4". The door is hinged (3' or 4' wide) or sliding (3' to 10' wide). The mesh is 10 gauge wire welded into a 2" x 2" square pattern, set in a 1-1/4" angle frame, and it is the medium duty mesh in the Style 840 system.

Welded mesh is about 25 to 33% lighter than woven mesh at the same panel size, and it holds its shape when openings are cut to fit around columns, pipes or other obstructions. It suits boundaries and traffic control, such as walling off an equipment area, a storage zone or a contractor space. The 2" x 2" opening is wide enough for a hand and forearm to reach through to a latch or to stock near the fence line, so choose the 2" x 1" woven mesh when theft is the concern.

Panels are 4 or 5 ft high and stack to reach the system height, and the same panel sizes serve for walls and ceilings. The system is bolted together with no site welding, and a crew of two or three people is recommended. Choose a 4-wall cage when the enclosure has to stand on its own, and a 1-wall, 2-wall or 3-wall system when existing solid walls can serve as one or more sides.

Selecting the Right Model
◆ Mesh, choose 2" x 2" welded wire for separation and traffic control, such as bulky, low-value or hard-to-move contents, or choose 2" x 1" woven wire when theft or reach-through is the concern
◆ Wall count, a 4-wall system stands on its own with no existing walls, so choose a 1-wall, 2-wall or 3-wall style when solid, full-height walls can serve as one or more sides
◆ Size, the table lists width x depth from 6'-6" x 6'-4" to 28'-8" x 28'-8", so measure the floor area the cage will occupy and pick the closest model
◆ Height, stock heights are 8'-5-1/4", 10'-5-1/4" and 12'-5-1/4", and a full-height or ceiling-capped cage prevents climbing over
◆ Door, hinged doors are 3' or 4' wide with a 7'-3-1/4" opening, while sliding doors run 3' to 10' wide and need a clear wall run beside the opening equal to the door width
◆ Lock, access control comes mainly from the door and the lock, so price the lock and exit hardware early, since options range from key locks to card readers and cost varies by more than ten to one
◆ Machine guarding, Style 840 is not a machine guard, so use a dedicated guarding system where a risk assessment calls for one
