On The Wire

Making the Most of Every Square Foot in Warehouse Storage
Managing secure storage in a busy distribution environment often requires balancing protection, accessibility, and efficient use of space. At a facility in Arizona, those needs became especially important as the team looked for a way to better organize and safeguard specific materials within their existing layout. Working with WireCrafters, Warehouse Equipment Contractors provided a practical solution that improved organization, strengthened security, and fit seamlessly into the facility’s day-to-day operations.

Machine Guarding Improves Pedestrian Safety at Victoriaville Co.
Victoriaville Co., a long-standing manufacturer based in Cleveland, Ohio, recently partnered with Handling Concepts to improve safety and pedestrian flow around a high-activity production line. With employees and automated equipment operating in close proximity, the facility needed a clear physical barrier that would separate foot traffic from moving machinery without slowing production. Handling Concepts turned to WireCrafters to provide a RapidGuard® II safety partition system designed to meet OSHA safety requirements while maintaining visibility across the production floor. The modular steel panels created a durable, clearly defined safety perimeter around the automated equipment, helping guide pedestrian traffic while allowing operators and supervisors to easily monitor activity inside the guarded area. The completed installation provides Victoriaville with a long-lasting safety solution that supports efficient operations while improving protection for employees working nearby.

Grocery Outlet Improves Aerosol Storage Safety with Custom Solution
When a grocery outlet needed a code-compliant way to store aerosol cans, they turned to Eastern Lift Truck to design a safe, practical solution. The project required a contained storage area that would meet fire and safety regulations while still allowing forklifts to move products in and out efficiently. To accomplish this, ELT partnered with WireCrafters to design a custom wire partition system that provided the necessary containment without disrupting daily operations. By combining thoughtful design, responsive collaboration, and a smooth installation process, the team delivered a solution that met inspection requirements while maintaining a clean, professional appearance inside the facility.

Best Practices for Integrating Access Control With Wire Mesh Partitions
Security inside a facility is no longer just about putting up a wall and locking a door. Manufacturing plants, warehouses, distribution centers, and data centers all require controlled access to protect people, inventory, and equipment. The key is doing it in a way that supports the workflow rather than slowing it down.

Expanding Secure Storage Without Starting Over
WireCrafters partnered with McGee Storage to deliver a secure DEA cage solution for an undisclosed customer in Atlanta, a specialized Contract Development and Manufacturing Organization with over 50 years of experience in oral solid and non-sterile oral liquid dosage forms. With expertise spanning formulation development to commercialization and a focus on pediatric, geriatric, and controlled-substance products, the facility requires secure, compliant storage that meets regulatory standards and supports operational efficiency. By working closely with McGee Storage, WireCrafters provided a high-quality, expandable DEA cage system that meets strict security requirements while supporting the customer’s ongoing growth.

Common Mistakes When Planning a Wire Partition System and How to Avoid Them
Planning a wire partition system may seem straightforward, but small oversights during the design phase can lead to delays, compliance concerns, or costly modifications later. Facilities that take a strategic approach from the beginning are far more likely to achieve a secure, efficient, and long-lasting solution.

Hinged vs. Sliding Doors in Wire Partition Systems: How to Choose the Right Fit
When planning a wire partition system, most of the focus naturally goes to layout, panel height, and access control. But one of the most important decisions in the design process is the door style. Choosing between hinged and sliding doors in a wire partition system directly impacts workflow, safety, and long-term usability.

Creating Secure Storage Space Without Major Renovation
Senior living communities often face unique space constraints, especially when it comes to providing secure storage for residents. In this Centennial, Colorado senior apartment community, the need for additional storage had to be addressed without costly construction or major building modifications. By partnering with Western Storage and Handling, WireCrafters delivered a practical tenant storage locker solution that maximized existing space, enhanced security, and preserved visibility throughout the storage area. This case study highlights how a wire partition system helped meet residents’ storage needs while offering a durable, efficient solution tailored to a multi-family residential environment.

Designing Secure Spaces Without Sacrificing Visibility in Industrial Facilities
In manufacturing and distribution environments, security and safety often need to work hand in hand. Equipment must be protected. Inventory must be secured. Employees must be kept safe from hazardous areas. But in creating secure spaces, visibility should never be compromised.
