Cage Compounds

Custom Security, Storage & Equipment Compounds Manufactured in Australia

Saxon Engineering designs and manufactures custom cage compounds for secure storage, equipment protection, asset management, and restricted-access applications across commercial, industrial, government, and infrastructure projects throughout Australia.

Built in Adelaide, South Australia, our cage compounds are engineered to provide secure, durable, and practical enclosures for valuable equipment, plant, inventory, utilities, and specialised assets. Whether you require a single lockable enclosure or a large multi-bay compound with individual access points, we can manufacture a solution tailored to your site and operational requirements.

From welded mesh and chainwire compounds through to stainless steel security enclosures, every compound is custom fabricated to suit the application, environment, and level of security required.

Secure Storage & Protection for Valuable Assets

Many facilities require a secure way to protect equipment, tools, stock, infrastructure, or operational assets while maintaining visibility, ventilation, and convenient access.

Custom cage compounds provide an effective solution for:

  • Equipment storage
  • Plant and services compounds
  • Utility infrastructure protection
  • Shared tenant storage
  • Commercial storage areas
  • Asset management facilities
  • Council and government infrastructure
  • Industrial equipment enclosures
  • Animal holding and specialist facilities

By creating a secure and controlled environment, cage compounds help reduce the risk of theft, vandalism, accidental damage, and unauthorised access while allowing authorised personnel to safely access stored items when required.

Custom Designed to Suit Your Site

No two projects are identical. Available space, security requirements, access arrangements, environmental conditions, and operational needs all influence the design of a cage compound.

Saxon Engineering manufactures custom cage compounds to suit:

  • Available floor area
  • Building layouts
  • Access requirements
  • Security requirements
  • Shared user facilities
  • Internal and external locations
  • Existing structures and services
  • Future expansion requirements

Our team can work from architectural drawings, engineering documentation, site measurements, or project specifications to develop a practical solution that integrates seamlessly with the surrounding environment.

Welded Mesh Cage Compounds

Welded mesh cage compounds provide excellent security while maintaining visibility and airflow.

Common applications:

  • Storage compounds
  • Equipment enclosures
  • Plant compounds
  • Shared storage facilities
  • Warehouse storage areas
  • Utility compounds

Welded mesh construction allows easy visual inspection of stored items while maintaining a robust physical barrier. This style of compound is particularly popular for commercial buildings, apartment developments, industrial facilities, and government projects.

Chainwire Cage Compounds

For larger compounds and infrastructure applications, chainwire construction can provide a practical and economical solution.

Chainwire compounds are commonly used for:

  • Service yards
  • Utility installations
  • Pump stations
  • Plant equipment
  • Infrastructure projects
  • Industrial facilities

Chainwire systems provide excellent ventilation and visibility while allowing large compounds to be constructed efficiently and cost-effectively.

Stainless Steel Cage Compounds

Where corrosion resistance, hygiene, or appearance are important considerations, Saxon Engineering can manufacture cage compounds in stainless steel.

Stainless steel compounds are commonly specified for:

  • Animal shelters
  • Veterinary facilities
  • Healthcare environments
  • Food processing facilities
  • Coastal locations
  • Specialist industrial applications

Offering exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, stainless steel compounds provide a premium solution for demanding environments.

Single Bays, Multi-Bay & Shared Access Layouts

Our cage compounds can be configured to suit a wide range of operational requirements.

Options may include:

  • Individual lockable storage bays
  • Shared access corridors
  • Multi-user compounds
  • Large walk-in enclosures
  • Internal partition walls
  • Multiple access doors
  • Double-door entry systems
  • Roofed compounds
  • Open-top compounds

Whether you require a secure enclosure for a single asset or a large compound serving multiple users, Saxon Engineering can tailor the layout to suit the project.
