WireCrafters Style 840 RapidWire Security Cage, 3-Wall

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 a storage room, an equipment area 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. A 3-wall cage works best where one solid, full-height wall can serve as the back, and a 1-wall, 2-wall or 4-wall system suits other floor plans.

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 3-wall system uses one existing solid, full-height wall as the back, so choose a 1-wall, 2-wall or 4-wall style when the layout is different
◆ Size, the table lists depth x width x depth from 6'-4" x 6'-6" x 6'-4" to 24'-8" x 24'-10" x 24'-8", so measure the back wall (width) and how far the cage extends from it (depth) 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
