Overview
The loading dock is a dangerous place with drop down edges. The SB-3000 is a manually operated and very visible retractable safety barrier. With the use of one person, you can quickly deploy the industrial barrier along a dock, pit edge, or any other location that needs to be guarded. Used in factories all over the United States, this guard is an ideal visual barrier.

7 Different Mounting Options
Each retractable guard comes with a post to roll up into. However, the shade that pulls out needs to connect to something to hold it in the extended position. Below you can view the different shade hooks.
- Style 1 - Mounts to the face of a vertical surface such as a wall or beam | Single Shade
- Style 2 - Mounts to the face of a vertical surface such as a wall or beam to connect two shades | Dual Shade
- Style 3 - Mounts to the face of a vertical surface such as a wall or beam on an angle | Single Shade
- Style 4 - Mounts in the cement to connect two shades together | Dual Shade (Removable)
- Style 5 - Post that anchors into the cement to connect two shades together | Dual Shade
- Style 6 - Post that anchors into the cement | Single Shade
- Style 7 - Mounts the roller assembly to a vertical surface such as a wall or existing bollard.
Can I attach the roll up mechanism to a post or wall?
- Yes. The mounting bracket below (Style 7) is for a wall, bollard or column mounting.
Can they be portable?
- They are not portable but they can be used as a portable unit if you have a method to hold them in place. Some customers have placed them on dollies like shown below. They then tie the dolly off to a fixed object like a post, beam, stud..ect (SB2000 Model Shown Below)
Can the shades be locked to prevent someone from opening them?
- Yes we can. Make sure our quote states "padlockable". We would, at no additional charge, weld a 1" loop to the Receiving Hook you choose like below. You can then use a padlock to lock the shade in the extended position.
Does the SB-3000 conform to OSHA standards as a railing?
- No it does not. It is not a fall device. It is a visual barrier only. Akon does not carry any anti-fall devices.
"The retractable SB-2000 has performed exceptionally well for our application. The shade is easy to pull out and it attaches quickly and easily to the opposing post. It has increased our safety by limiting access to visitors. I would highly recommend it."
James - Borg Warner
"The guarding has been a great asset for our production people. Before it was in place we had a few safety issues with personnel coming to close to the mechanical pinch points of the machinery. The safety barrier was very easy to install and has been performing great. We are looking to purchase more in the near future."
Samantha - Lockheed Martin
"The process from getting a quote from Akon to procurement of the safety barrier was very efficient. It is a well-made safety device which has allowed us to meet OSHA standards for an area that was otherwise dangerous. We have had no issues with the retractable guarding and its ease of operation is quite impressive."
