Lift Table Guard Features Here are just a few of the features that you can have your lift table guarding equipped with.

Stiffening Wires – These steel wires are inserted into each of the folds to provide a more rigid perimeter. Attachment Methods – You can choose to include Velcro or Flat Steel Bar attachment at the top of the lift table guard. Internal or External Folds – The fold can face inwards or outwards based on your need for a smaller footprint. Fold Depth – The fold of the skirt can be as small as 1” and as large as 3.5” as another means to keep the footprint of the lift small.

Types of Lift Table Guarding While most plants choose the stitched lift table guarding, there is actually another option to choose from. Thermic Lift Table Guards – These covers are not stitched but thermicaly bonded to stiff internal PVC strips. The strips form the folds and thus eliminate the need for stitching. This is ideal for food processing facilities and showroom lift tables due to its clean non porous design. A Clean Professional Look – This style of lift table toe guard is more expensive than a stitched version, but it sometimes required for certain applications. In fact, companies such as Lockheed Martin utilize these guards with their company logo imprinted on them for one of their showrooms.

Akon Lift Table Bellows Advantages

Thick Vinyl - All of our lift table bellows are designed with 23oz industrial strength vinyl which better resists tearing and ripping. These skirts will hold up to the rigors of high duty cycling and debris filled environments. The thick vinyl will provide a longer life than some of our competitors who utilize a thinner vinyl material.

Mounting Methods – You can choose to have the lift table bellows with a Velcro mount or a flat bar bolt on mount. While the Velcro is the most economical, the flat bar mount is the more durable and will provide a longer work life to the skirt.

Vent Panels - Vent panels panels provide the lift table bellows the proper ventilation as the lift raises and lowers. These vent panels will prevent the bellows from creating a suction which can deform the skirt inward as it is extended.

Color Configurations - You can choose from several color configurations for the lift table bellows. While black and yellow convolutions are the most common, solid colors are also available per request. This is no additional charge if the colors are a standard color.
