CLD Fencing Storage Unit Project

Kite Group supplied the ModiFix handrail system with laser-cut rails and clamp fittings at CLD’s Middlewich unit, ensuring safe, eco-friendly pedestrian access routes.

Project Overview

CLD Fencing Systems is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of mesh fencing and security gates, trusted across more than 15 countries. Their solutions span permanent and temporary fencing, access control, and rental systems, with logistics supported by consignment configuration centres across the UK.

One such facility, the CLD Storage Unit in Middlewich, Cheshire, required a tailored safety solution to address the following challenges:

Providing safe pedestrian access for engineers and truck drivers.
Implementing a sleek, maintenance-free handrail system with no welded parts.
Ensuring high visibility and easy installation while keeping sustainability in mind.

Did You Know?

Middlewich has a heritage rooted in salt production. Founded by the Romans and originally named Salinae, the town became a centre for salt extraction. During the First English Civil War in 1643, Middlewich was the site of two decisive battles. Today, it still produces 57% of the UK’s cooking salt market share.

Kite’s Contribution

Kite Group supplied the site with the ModiFix Handrail System, meeting CLD’s requirements for a smart, sustainable, and cost-efficient solution:

Smart Design: Sleek system using fewer clamps with no welding required.
Eco-Friendly: Environmentally conscious design, reducing material use and saving up to 20% of railing costs.
Easy Installation: Simple to assemble and dismantle using only two clamp types — Clamp Fitting 125 (corners), 150 (tube connections on long runs), and 132 (base plates).

This maintenance-free, highly visible handrail system ensured safe access for staff and visitors, while aligning with CLD’s focus on durability, efficiency, and sustainability.
