Why Choose Custom Welded Steel Guards?

Prefab guards often require costly modification, can leave hazardous gaps, and may not stand up to continuous use. Our custom steel guards are built for the exact machine they’re protecting, ensuring:

Unmatched Strength & Impact Resistance: Withstands heavy-duty, continuous operation
Custom-Fitted Design:  Welded to match your equipment’s exact specifications
Tamper-Resistant Security: Optional interlocks, locking mechanisms, and secure mounts
Durability in Harsh Environments:  Resistant to heat, oil, and chemicals
Low Maintenance, Long Service Life: Designed for decades of performance
Integrated Safety Features: Compatible with control-reliable systems, sensors, and interlocks

Our Turnkey Mechanical Guarding Process

From concept to compliance, Arrow Industrial Solutions handles every step:

On-Site Assessment

TÜV-certified engineers and licensed PEs can assess your equipment, identifying hazard zones and compliance gaps.

Custom Design

CAD-modeled, incorporating ventilation, inspection access, and ergonomic considerations. Structural integrity validated via FEA (Finite Element Analysis).

Fabrication

 In-house welded construction using mild steel, stainless steel, or galvanized steel. Optional powder coating, painting, or specialty finishes for corrosion resistance.

Installation

Guards installed for precise fit and integration with interlocks, safety switches, and control systems.

Testing & Validation

Functional safety testing, compliance verification, and OSHA-ready documentation.

Ideal Applications

Our custom welded steel guards excel in applications such as:

Conveyor systems and rotating shafts
Drive belts, gears, and chain assemblies
Heavy presses, punch machines, and shears
Milling and grinding machines
High-traffic industrial work cells
OEM machine builds and retrofit projects

Build Your Custom Welded Steel Guarding System

Whether you’re outfitting a new line or retrofitting existing machinery, Arrow Industrial Solutions will design and install welded steel guards that meet your exact safety and operational requirements.

When should welded steel guards be used instead of lighter materials?

Welded steel guards are ideal for high-risk applications involving heavy machinery, high-impact forces, continuous operation, or harsh environments. They are commonly used where aluminum or polycarbonate guards may not provide sufficient strength or longevity.

Are welded steel guards required by OSHA?

OSHA’s 29 CFR 1910.212 requires employers to provide machine guarding to protect workers from hazards. While OSHA does not specify materials, welded steel guards are a recognized and effective method for meeting guarding requirements in heavy-duty applications.

Can welded steel guards be integrated with safety interlocks and controls?

Yes. Welded steel guards can be integrated with gate switches, locking solenoids, safety sensors, and control-reliable safety circuits. This layered safeguarding approach enhances protection and supports functional safety requirements.

How durable are welded steel mechanical guards?

Welded steel guards are built for long service life in harsh environments. With proper material selection and finishes such as powder coating, galvanizing, or stainless steel construction, they can resist heat, oil, chemicals, and corrosion for decades.
