Custom Security Cages & Engineered Enclosures

Not every security requirement fits a standard configuration. Material Handling USA designs custom security cages for unique spaces, special applications, and complex access control requirements. From irregular floor plans to multi-zone enclosures with tiered access levels — we engineer the solution.

What Makes a Cage Custom?

While standard panels and posts handle most applications, custom engineering is needed when your project involves any of the following:

Non-Standard Dimensions

Heights exceeding 12 feet, widths outside standard panel sizes, ceiling spans over 30 feet, or layouts that work around columns, equipment, and building features.

Special Mesh Requirements

Non-standard wire gauges, custom mesh patterns, mixed mesh types (wire on some walls, polycarbonate on others), or materials meeting specific industry standards.

Multi-Zone Access

Internal partitions creating separate zones with different access levels. Nested cages within cages. Multiple entry points with independent electronic access control.

Integration Requirements

Cages that integrate with existing pallet rack, mezzanine structures, conveyor systems, or building walls. Pass-throughs, conveyor openings, and utility penetrations.

Specialty Colors & Finishes

Custom powder coat colors beyond the 8 standard options. Matching corporate colors, safety yellow guarding, or color-coded zones for operational identification.

Unusual Applications

Outdoor cages, rooftop equipment enclosures, extreme temperature environments, clean room partitions, and other applications outside typical warehouse use.

Custom Design Process

Our custom cage design process ensures every detail is addressed before manufacturing begins:

1. Requirements gathering — detailed discussion of your application, security needs, access patterns, and site constraints
2. Site survey — on-site measurement, photography, and assessment of floor conditions, utilities, and building features
3. CAD engineering — detailed AutoCAD drawings showing every panel, post, door, and component placement
4. Design review — walk through the design with your team, make revisions, confirm specifications
5. Manufacturing — custom components fabricated to specification, typically 2–4 week lead time
6. Installation & commissioning — professional setup, access control programming, and final verification

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a custom security cage project take?

From initial contact to installed cage, custom projects typically take 4–8 weeks. Design and engineering takes 1–2 weeks, manufacturing takes 2–4 weeks, and installation takes 1–3 days depending on complexity. Rush timelines are available for urgent projects.

Is custom more expensive than standard?

Custom components cost more than stock items, but the premium is often smaller than expected. Most custom cages use 80%+ standard components with custom elements only where needed. We design to minimize custom fabrication while achieving your exact requirements.

Can you work from our floor plans or drawings?

Yes. Send us your floor plans, CAD files, or even rough sketches and we will develop a detailed cage layout. If you do not have drawings, our team will create them from site measurements.

What is the minimum order for a custom project?

There is no minimum. We design custom solutions for single-cage projects through complete facility systems. Even a small cage with a non-standard dimension or special mesh is considered custom. Contact us to discuss your specific needs.
