Guarding system has stores covered

Procter Machine Guarding product story

Although developed primarily for machinery perimeter guarding, the modular Angel guarding system is ideal for constructing cost-effective reconfigurable stores compounds.
Little in life remains constant, and that is as true for manufacturers as for anybody else.
Something that manufacturers are continually rearranging is the stores, both for raw materials and finished products.
Traditional stores compounds are neither simple nor quick to reconfigure; however, the unique modular Angel guarding system from Procter Brothers, although developed primarily for machinery perimeter guarding, is ideal for constructing cost-effective reconfigurable stores compounds.
The Angel system consists of modular components that are simple to specify and order - as well as being quick to configure, deliver and install.
Vertical posts are easily fixed to the floor, then universal brackets are attached so that the panelling can be fixed at any angle.
Fascia panels are used to hide the bracketry and to provide an aesthetically attractive finish.
Customers can choose from a variety of different types of infill panel, which is perfect for configuring stores compounds.
As well as welded wire mesh, there are also polycarbonate panels, all-steel panels with or without polycarbonate windows, and the top and bottom halves of panels can be mixed-and-matched to produce the desired effect.
There is also a broad choice of personnel and vehicular access, such as hinged single or double gates, sliding gates, cantilevered gates (suitable for forklift access), or space-efficient rise-and-fall gates.
Other options include height-adjustable baseplates, cable trunking, and the customer's own choice of access controls.
All Angel products are supplied in a durable polyester powder coated finish, with the standard colours being yellow, satin black, gloss black, and metallic charcoal grey.
Alternatively, customers can specify any other colours so that the stores compound blends in with - or contrasts with - the existing factory colour scheme.
Specifying an Angel system is remarkably easy, with most schemes being defined on a single sheet of A4 paper - and the customer is not required to compile a parts list; the Angel engineers do this as part of the quotation procedure.
In fact the customer merely has to sketch an outline of the stores compound, indicate where access is required and state what type of access is needed (hinged, sliding, cantilevered or rise-and-fall gates).
The Angel engineers will then calculate the most cost-effective means of meeting the specification, and will even provide a quotation for installing the components if requested to do so.
When the time comes to rearrange the stores, the Angel components can be quickly and easily repositioned, or additional posts, panels and access gates can be purchased.
Moreover, because all of the Angel components can be reused, the system is extremely cost-effective compared with traditional constructions.
A comprehensive design guide for the Angel modular system is available free of charge from Procter Brothers, as is a handy risk assessment calculator.
