Tension Netting That Works

sliding-machine-guard-net

Key Features

  • Cable-Guided Sliding Mechanism: Operates smoothly along a steel cable system similar to a clothesline, allowing for effortless extension and retraction
  • Secure Locking System: Automatically tensions the net when deployed, creating a taut barrier capable of supporting a person's weight
  • Quick-Release Function: Enables rapid access to machinery or areas when needed
  • Compliant with Z-432 and ISO 13857:2019 Safety Standards: Ensures your workplace meets regulatory requirements
  • Lightweight Yet Durable: Fraction of the weight of traditional metal guards while maintaining strength and resilience
  • Custom Sizing Options: Available in various dimensions to suit specific applications

Netting That Protects Conveyors

conveyor-protection-netting-Z432-compliant

Conveyor Protection System

This retractable safety barrier net provides exceptional protection for conveyor systems in industrial environments. The cable-guided sliding mechanism installs parallel to conveyor lines, creating an adjustable safety barrier that protects workers while maintaining crucial access for maintenance and clearing jams. Unlike fixed guards that impede operations, this system deploys instantly when needed and retracts completely when access is required.

Conveyor Safety Applications:

  • Nip Point Protection – Guards dangerous pinch points effectively.
  • Material Containment – Prevents product ejection and spillage.
  • Fall Prevention – Secures elevated conveyor sections safely.
  • Maintenance Access – Quick release for jam clearing.
  • Emergency Access – Immediate pathway when seconds count.

The digital locking system ensures conveyor guards remain engaged during operation while providing controlled access for authorized maintenance personnel. The system complies with Z-432 and ISO 13857:2019 standards specifically for conveyor guarding applications, giving you confidence in your safety compliance efforts.

Alternative To Handrails

retractable-handrail-alternative-net

Alternative to Hand Railing

This retractable safety barrier net offers a revolutionary alternative to traditional fixed hand railing in industrial environments. The innovative cable-guided system provides the same fall protection benefits as permanent railings while delivering unmatched flexibility for changing workspace needs. When access is required, the net retracts completely along its steel cable track, eliminating the permanent obstruction of conventional hand railing.

Hand Railing Alternative Advantages:

  • Temporary or Permanent Solution – Adapt to changing needs instantly.
  • Full Area Access – Complete retraction when needed.
  • Quick Deployment – Extends in seconds when required.
  • OSHA Compliant Protection – Meets fall protection standards.
  • Load-Bearing Tension System – Supports weight like railings.

The optional digital locking system ensures safety barriers remain properly tensioned during use, providing reliable fall protection comparable to fixed railings. Perfect for loading docks, mezzanines, equipment platforms, and other elevated work areas where occasional full access is essential but safety cannot be compromised.

Testimonials

“The industrial bellows that we receive from Akon are of exceptional quality. We have had stitching falling apart from other supplier so we searched out a new partner for our automation guarding requirements. AKON has far exceeded our expectations in both timeliness of delivery and workmanship!” – Brian Kilbourn

“The lift table skirting looks great and is very robust. We contacted Akon for a rush job because our other supplier could not meet our requirements. Akon was able to get us the lift table skirting very quickly and ever since then they have been our primary supplier. We could not recommend them more.” – Max Wallace

“Look no further than AKON!!! The speed of their service and their low pricing is the best that we have found. We have been using them for many years now and they always make sure we are taking care of. As a Fortune 500 company, we rely on suppliers like Akon to come through in a pinch and they always do.” – Ann Wilcox
