Security Cages for High-Security Warehouse Inventory and Government Materials

This distribution center needed high-security inventory cages to separate government-related materials from standard warehouse inventory while keeping day-to-day operations moving through very narrow aisles.

The Challenge: High-Security Separation Without Slowing DC Operations

The facility runs a high-velocity workflow in a narrow-aisle environment, so the customer needed an access-controlled storage area that would not disrupt forklift traffic, picking, or replenishment. The project also had to be permitted and approved for egress and life safety compliance.

Key issues included:

• Securing government-related materials in a shared DC environment
• Maintaining efficiency in narrow aisles and tight traffic lanes
• Creating forklift and pedestrian access without bottlenecks
• Meeting egress and life safety requirements with permitted plans

The Solution: Tall Wire Mesh Security Cages With Controlled Access

Western Storage and Handling designed and installed a high-security wire mesh cage system that converted a portion of the distribution center into an access-controlled zone while preserving workflow efficiency.

The solution included:

• 20′5″ tall WireCrafters security cage enclosure
• Two 15′ tall sliding doors to support fork truck traffic
• Badge-access doors for associates
• Egress-only doors to support life safety compliance
• Turnkey design, permitting coordination, installation, and project management

Results: Secure Space Delivered On Time and Under Budget

The completed enclosure created a dedicated high-security area without hindering production in the rest of the warehouse. WSH delivered the project with full compliance requirements addressed, while maintaining DC efficiencies in a narrow-aisle environment.

Project outcomes included:

• High-security separation for sensitive materials
• Controlled access for forklifts and associates
• Egress and life safety compliance incorporated into the design
• Turnkey delivery on time and under budget
