Mesh Sized To Reach
We size the mesh opening to the distance between the guard and the hazard, so a tighter weave goes where a hand could otherwise reach a moving part. Larger openings are reserved for runs set far enough back to stay safe.

Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from machine guards in Orillia
Panels That Lift Out
Service-side panels are hinged or fully removable, so a technician can clear a jam or change tooling without unbolting the whole enclosure. The fixed sections stay anchored while only the access panel comes off.
Built For Interlock Gates
Access doors come drilled and bracketed for safety switches, so your interlock kills power the moment the gate swings open. We leave the device choice to your controls team and just give the switch a clean, square mounting face.
Anchored To The Slab
Posts are baseplated and bolted straight into the concrete so the perimeter holds its line if someone leans, trips, or backs a cart into it. That fixed footing is also what lets the mesh take an impact without folding.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your machine guards with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
Our Process
How we specify, fabricate, and deliver Machine Guards

The Grate Guys builds machine guards around drawings, measurements, traffic duty, finish exposure, and installation constraints using mild steel, structural steel, galvanized finish, powder-coat, stainless details, or aluminum where the site calls for it, made to order in our Toronto shop, licensed, insured, and WSIB-covered, with a workmanship warranty on every order, supplied and installed across the GTA and shipped Canada-wide.

- 02 We come measure and assess the Orillia site (or work from your specs and drawings).
- 03 We fabricate your machine guards to spec in our shop, finished for the conditions.
- 04 We return to deliver and install it, set, levelled, and done right on site.
