RapidGuard® II – Lift-Off Machine Guarding System
RapidGuard® II features a unique lift-off design that allows for the removal of the guards (panels) while the fixing system (hardware) remains attached to the guards (post), in compliance with RIA TR R15.406.
The installation time is 50% faster than most competing products & it can be installed by 1 person due to the Patented T-Slot mounting solution.
RapidGuard® II Panels & Posts
Panels are made of 10 gauge welded wire and patterned in a 1 1/4″ SQ (center to center). The mesh is then welded into a 1 1/4″ x 1 1/4″ 13 gauge roll formed angle. Strong 2″ x 2″ 14 gauge tube posts have threaded inserts pre-drilled into the posts for quick mounting of the panels.
LIFT-OFF PANELS
Our panels lift off from the upright posts, allowing easy access to the equipment you are guarding.
SAFETY TO THE MAX
RapidGuard® II is compliant with OSHA and ANSI/RIA safety standards.

A variety of safety switches or interlocks can be supplied with a RapidGuard™ II door.
