Secure wire mesh enclosures
April 11th 2008

When Alpha Flight Services refurbished its flight catering unit, it turned to industrial partitioning and storage specialist Troax UK to provide secure wire mesh storage enclosures. The enclosures are used to securely store duty free merchandise including alcohol, tobacco and perfume supplies for inflight sales on board aircraft.

The seven cages are made from Caelum industrial wire mesh partitioning, and are designed to ensure maximum use of space. Two cages are two-sided and adjoin exiting walls, and two are constructed with three sides against an adjoining wall. Two parallel runs of mesh fencing are attached to walls at either end. A high level of security is provided by the high, sliding, padlockable doors with double hasps that are fitted on each enclosure.

The cages range from 2.5m to 4.4m in height.

Troax's Caelum wire mesh design allows goods to be viewed yet remains secure.

It also enables smoke detection and sprinkler systems to function. The company has also installed its Musca anti-collapse safety screens in the cages.
