Controlling access to hazardous machinery and equipment is the tGard compact, metal-bodied safety system by Fortress Interlocks.
The device enables the custom configuration of multiple safety products—including electrical safety gate switches, mechanical trapped key interlocks and electrical operator controls—for optimum safety. Each unit can be configured as a separate device or integrated into one device.
The line includes safety switches (solenoid and non-solenoid), personnel keys, emergency release, push buttons, e-stops, indicator lamps and a choice of operating handles for hinged and sliding guard doors. Mountable directly onto a flat surface, doors or extruded aluminum profiles without mounting plates or brackets, the system is IP65 certified against dust and water.

Fortress Interlocks designs and manufactures safety equipment, protecting lives in hazardous workplaces. Their interlocks work in sequence to ensure employees are safeguarded from dangerous machinery by eliminating the possibility of human error.
