Who Is SpaceGuard Products?
SpaceGuard Products is a U.S. manufacturer of wire partitions and area guarding, based in Seymour, Indiana. This page is our guide to its product lines and where each one fits.
SpaceGuard was formed in 1990 when Logan Wire Company and Ford Fence Company merged, bringing together more than 100 years of combined wire experience. FordLogan woven diamond-mesh partitions came first; BeastWire® welded mesh followed in 2016, replacing five older lines with one universal panel.
RageWire® robotic guarding arrived in 2020, and the Centurion™ pallet rack repair kits in 2023, alongside AisleGuard guardrail, mezzanine railing, gates and window guards.
Material Handling USA designs, quotes and installs these systems. For each category, see our security cages hub, machine guarding systems and pallet rack repair and inspection pages.

BeastWire® Welded Wire Mesh Guarding
One universal welded panel builds cages, partitions, lockers, rack guarding and infill systems.
BeastWire panels are fully welded from 10-gauge or 6-gauge wire and stack between universal posts, so the same parts build a tool crib, a driver access cage or a full warehouse partition. Panels and posts are interchangeable, gates are reversible and connections use carriage bolts.
- Mesh: 2″ square (standard), 1½″ diamond, 1″ or ½″ square, expanded or sheet metal
- Heights: 6′, 7′, 8′ and custom, with stacked builds up to 40′
- Swing and slide doors, XL doors, closers, tamper-proof hardware and interlocks
- Backed by SpaceGuard’s 10-year warranty
Full specs, door sizes and options are on our BeastWire mesh partitions page.
BeastWire product family
BeastWire LockersSingle-, double- or triple-tier wire mesh lockers in 6′, 7′ and 8′ heights, with universal doors that swing left or right.
Rack Backing, Siding & DoorsMesh panels on pallet rack with Grrripper drop-in or bolt-on brackets, built to ANSI MH31.1 to keep NFPA 13 flue spaces open.
Mezzanine RailingHandrail with framed mesh infill and 4″ kick plates that stops objects falling from platforms; ANSI MH28.3 compliant.
BeastWire Tunnel Door
SpaceGuard’s newest BeastWire door is built for high-clearance openings where cranes, tall forklift masts or oversized loads pass through a cage wall.
- Unlimited overhead clearance — nothing crosses the opening when it is open
- Above-floor track — no floor cutting or trenching, so the slab stays intact
- Precision-guided travel — smooth movement and consistent lock engagement
- Small footprint — no large retraction zone beside the opening
Compare door styles on our cage panels, posts and components page.
FordLogan Woven Wire Partitions, Lockers & Machine Guarding
The diamond-mesh partition architects have specified for decades, with roots in Logan Wire (founded 1876).
FordLogan panels use SpaceGuard’s exclusive UNI-MESH™ design: a true 1½″ diamond opening runs across the whole panel, with no large gaps at the top, bottom, corners or sides. The triple-crimped woven wire gives the same finished look on both sides of the cage.
- Colonel Clamp panel-to-panel connection for faster, more secure installs
- Consistent bolt patterns across standard heights
- Standard gray material offered in 7′, 8′ and 10′ heights through SpaceGuard Quick Ship
- Meets Division 10 architectural specifications
Comparing woven and welded mesh? See wire mesh partition systems.
UNI-MESH™ Woven Diamond MeshTriple-crimped 1½″ diamond weave gives an even, architectural look on both faces of the panel.
FordLogan LockersSingle-tier locker cages in 10-gauge 1½″ woven diamond mesh, with ADA door options, ceiling panels and a one-year warranty.
FordLogan Machine GuardingWoven mesh guarding panels that separate equipment from aisles while keeping operations visible.RageWire® Robotic & Automation Guarding
A frameless, five-component guarding system: plant a post, hang a panel.
RageWire uses one standard 5′-wide mesh panel, universal posts in 6′, 7′ and 8′ heights, one bracket, two door options and electric interlock integration. The V-bend in each panel adds rigidity and forms a recessed cable channel.
- 1.25″ × 4″ mesh opening allows a 17.5″ distance to hazard under RIA/ANSI
- Pivot posts turn corners up to 160°; posts take light curtains and photo eyes
- Saddle-pocket brackets let panels lift out for machine access
- Hardware stays on the bracket and will not disengage on impact; 4″ sweep space
- Swing and slide doors work with Fortress interlocks
RageWire partitions
The same frameless system also builds plain partitions and storage cages. Unframed panels are easy to cut and modify in the field. Yellow posts and black panels are standard, and BeastWire doors can be added for specialized openings, as in this cage.

Choosing a SpaceGuard machine guard
| RageWire® | BeastWire® | FordLogan | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Panel | Frameless V-bend mesh, 5′ wide | Framed welded 10- or 6-gauge mesh | Framed woven 1½″ diamond mesh |
| Published standards | Conforms to ANSI/RIA | Conforms to ANSI B11.9 and RIA TR R15.406-2014 | Division 10 architectural spec |
| Safety distance | 17.5″ to hazard (1.25″ × 4″ mesh) | Within 17½″ of danger lines (standard mesh); smaller mesh for tight spaces | Confirm with your risk assessment |
| Sweep space | 4″ | 2″ standard post sweep | — |
| Best fit | Robot cells, fast installs, frequent panel removal | Heavy-duty guarding, mixed cage + guard projects | Projects that call for woven mesh |
The BeastWire guarding shown here separates a conveyor and pick-module area from a busy aisle. Interlocked barrier guards can shut equipment off when a door opens, and presence-sensing devices such as light curtains can be added for another layer of protection.
Machine guarding must fit the hazard. Your safety team or integrator sets the risk assessment and safety distances; we supply and install the guarding to match.
Centurion™ Pallet Rack Repair Kits
Repair a damaged upright in place instead of unloading the bay and replacing the whole frame.
Centurion kits bolt over the damaged section of an upright with a solid tube frame and the patent-pending Centurion Cuff. SpaceGuard says the kits fit 3″, 4″ and 5″ uprights, work with 99% of upright types without field reaming, and install in under 45 minutes without offloading the rack.
- Teardrop and structural hole patterns
- In-line or seismic base plates
- Telescoping adjustable bracing (horizontal and diagonal)
- Adjustable beam reconnection with no drilling or modification
Material Handling Product News and Material Handling 24/7 readers named Centurion the 2024 Readers’ Choice Product of the Year in Racks, Shelving & Mezzanines.
Centurion models

Centurion Row GuardReplaces traditional end-of-row guards and protects both front and rear uprights from side impact, so you gain back floor space.
Centurion Low GuardA cost-effective fix for crushed bases and damaged base plates, without replacing the whole frame.
Centurion VanGuardFor double-reinforced columns, and for extra durability on standard columns in high-traffic aisles.
Centurion Primus JackA modular, zinc-plated lifting column with 5′ and 15′ hoses; available to buy or rent. Works with any brand of repair kit.How a Centurion repair usually goes
Measure & select
Record upright size (3″, 4″ or 5″), hole pattern and damage height, then pick Low, Mid, High, VanGuard or Row Guard.
Lift & install
Usually only the 2–8 pallets at the damaged area come off; the Primus Jack lifts the upright at the repair zone.
Repair or replace?
SpaceGuard’s case for repair is lower material and labor cost, less downtime and no change to your layout. A damaged upright should be offloaded or isolated until it is repaired, and severe damage or an engineered system may still call for a new frame. Your rack manufacturer or an engineer has the final word on load ratings after a repair.
AisleGuard Guardrail, Bollards & Rack Guards
Impact protection for people, racks, cages and equipment along forklift routes.
AisleGuard industrial guardrail builds a continuous barrier against forklifts, carts, AGVs and stackers. Bollards and rack guards protect dock doors, column bases and the corners of cages and in-plant offices.
- Structural channel rails tested to withstand impacts over 10,000 lbs at 4 mph
- Single-, double- and triple-rail layouts
- Bolt-through or drop-in rail design
- OSHA safety-yellow powder coat; ships with hardware
See our forklift and pallet rack protection guide and rack guards and column protectors.
Infill Panels & Window Guards
Heavy-duty mesh panels that secure windows, doors, vents and open framing without blocking light or air.
SpaceGuard infill panels and window guards are built to fit each opening. The infill — heavy-duty 6-gauge welded wire, 10-gauge woven mesh, expanded metal or sheet metal — is welded into an angle frame.
- Standard mesh: 2″ square welded or 1½″ diamond woven; smaller mesh available
- Mounts through the frame into the opening, or with flush-mount brackets
- Powder-coated finish; hot-dip galvanized as a special option
- Used for windows, doors, vents, railing infill and parking-garage openings
Storefront Window GuardsIn a SpaceGuard case study, a retail store used 6-gauge, 2″ BeastWire guards with hinged, tool-removable panels to stop night break-ins while keeping daylight.
FordLogan Window InfillWoven diamond-mesh infill secures a service or parts-counter window while keeping it open to view.Where SpaceGuard Systems Are Used
