Why Choose Custom Mechanical Guards Over Prefab?

Prefab guards often require costly modifications, can leave hazardous gaps, or interfere with machine access and maintenance. Arrow’s custom mechanical guarding eliminates these challenges:

Exact Fit for Your Equipment: Designed around your machine’s dimensions, access points, and workflow.
Built for Compliance: Engineered to meet or exceed OSHA, ANSI, ISO, and NFPA requirements.
Improved Productivity: Guards that allow safe, efficient operation without unnecessary downtime.
Durable Construction: Fabricated from high-quality materials for long service life in demanding environments.

Whether you’re safeguarding a single press or an entire production line, our mechanical guarding solutions are built to work as hard as you do.

Are mechanical guards required by OSHA?

Yes. OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.212 requires employers to provide machine guarding to protect employees from hazards such as rotating parts, flying debris, and points of operation. Custom mechanical guarding is a common and effective way to meet these requirements.

How does mechanical guarding impact productivity?

Well-designed mechanical guarding improves productivity by reducing unplanned downtime, preventing injuries, and allowing safe access for maintenance and operation. Custom guards are designed to balance protection, accessibility, and workflow efficiency.

Can mechanical guards be integrated with electrical safeguarding?

Yes. Mechanical guards are often combined with electrical safeguarding components such as gate switches, interlocks, light curtains, and safety PLCs. This layered approach creates a control-reliable safeguarding system that improves overall machine safety.

What is included in a turnkey mechanical guarding solution?

A turnkey mechanical guarding solution typically includes on-site assessment, custom design, fabrication, installation, testing, and compliance documentation. This single-source approach ensures accountability, faster implementation, and consistent safety outcomes.

Who should design and install mechanical guarding systems?

Mechanical guarding should be designed and validated by experienced machine safety professionals. Qualified engineers can help ensure that guards meet OSHA, ANSI, and ISO requirements while supporting safe operation, maintenance access, and long-term compliance.
