Equipment protection guards are placed where forklifts, carts, pallets, or vehicles actually approach the equipment. A guard set too far away leaves corners and controls exposed.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from equipment protection guards in Kitchener
Service panels remain reachable
Guards are shaped around doors, filters, valves, disconnects, and maintenance panels. Protection that blocks service will be removed by the first technician who needs access.
Anchors match the slab
Base plates, sleeves, or embedded posts are selected around slab thickness and edge distance. A heavy guard with poor anchors will still fold over on impact.
Visibility suited to traffic
Safety yellow, galvanized steel, stainless, or powder-coated guards are selected around the equipment area. High-traffic aisles often need bright visible protection.
Made in Canada

Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
Your equipment protection guards is supported by Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
