Driver Cages and Building Access

• Steel Support Posts are 2″ Square
• Wall and Ceiling Panels Constructed of 10-Gauge Wire
• Multiple Door and Lock Options Available

WireCrafters’ Driver Access Cages are a simple, cost-effective way of controlling access to distribution centers, buildings, or factory floors. Surrounding building entry doors with the wire mesh partitions confines truck drivers and other visitors to a defined area. They can be built freestanding or anchored to existing building walls and can be ordered in any size configuration.

Keep Your Facility Safe & Secure

Driver access cages protect your company, as well as visitors, vendors, and other warehouse or building personnel. Truck drivers, delivery people and other non-employees who enter your facility can be an insurance risk, as unauthorized personnel visiting your facility may unknowingly walk into active traffic areas or into automated machinery work cells.

Failing to restrict building access is a huge potential risk for accidents in your facility. Driver Access Cages also protect your assets by separating outside personnel from inventory and expensive equipment.

Control Building Access

Our cages are a simple, cost-effective way of controlling access to distribution centers, buildings, or factory floors. Building access is controlled by surrounding building entry doors with our wire mesh partitions, confining truck drivers and other visitors to a defined area. These cages can be ordered in any size, and may be built free-standing or anchored to existing building walls.

Features

Security In Any Configuration

We offer Driver Access Cages made of Wirecrafters’ Style 840 Wire Partition System. The heavy, 10-gauge wire that’s woven into a 2″ x 1″ rectangular mesh is strong enough for any industrial security cage requirement. The size of these building access cages varies from 6′ by 6′ up to 8′ by 8′. And because we offer panels in one-foot increments, virtually any size cage can be configured.

The access cage also has a pedestrian hinged door for access. And the door can be equipped with a full-width push bar on the factory floor side to allow employees to quickly exit the factory floor if needed. The door is equipped with a simple key lock on the inside of the driver access cage, keeping drivers confined to the secure enclosed area.

Reliable Protection for Multiple Applications

WireCrafters’ wire partitions can be used for securing all types of equipment, inventory, and products within a facility. Because of their modular design, they can be constructed to suit any application. And SafeRack offers a variety of custom locks to further control access. For enhanced protection, proximity readers, card readers, and keypads can be added to the wire partition doors for added security and controlled access.

Steel Benches

4′, 6′, or 8′ wide steel benches allow for seating within the cage for waiting drivers. Built of heavy-duty 10 Gauge steel, this all-welded bench has baseplates for anchoring to the door.

Ceiling Panel for Added Security

For additional security, a ceiling panel made of the same heavy 10 gauge wire can be added to the access cage.

Full-Width Push Bar

Service Windows

Allows for easy exchange of paperwork & other small items.

Guardrail Systems

And because Driver Access Cages are usually located in high-traffic shipping dock areas, a single- or double-high GuardRail Safety Railing System can be installed around the perimeter of the access cage for added protection.

Locking

Other locking options, including 5-button, coded access, card readers, and remote pushbuttons are available.
