Steel Mesh Safety Skirts & Guards

Large steel mesh guards used to protect machinery, equipment, or restricted areas in an industrial facility.

Steel Mesh Safety Skirts

Lift table mesh steel safety curtains are used to prevent injury from pinch points. This premium style guarding is ideal for wash down applications, high temperature, heavy welding, and clean room environments. The scissor lift table skirts can be purchased for existing or new tables. The mesh guard comes in a standard ASTM A82 steel. For wash down applications and clean rooms we offer stainless steel mesh.

Why Steel Mesh Guards?

Keep Out Large Debris

Our mesh safety guards are designed to keep out large heavy debris from the inside of your table. Unlike traditional vinyl, steel mesh safety screens will keep out heavy debris. Commonly used in wood mills for large lifting tables, the steel safety mesh keeps out heavy wood debris.

High Heat & Welding

High temperatures will melt vinyl safety skirting so a stronger material is needed. With steel mesh lift table guards, you can use your lift tables in extreme environments while still providing protection. Applications that produce a lot of hot welding slag or grinding sparks could also benefit from the steel skirting.

Protect Pinch Points

Just like a traditional lift table skirting bellows, the steel mesh safety curtains also protect pinch points. As the lift table goes up, the screen mesh travels upward with it forming a protective barrier; thus creating a safe yet efficient working environment.

Wash Down Food Grade

Food processing facilities require washing down equipment on a regular basis. With the use of stainless steel safety guarding for your lift table you can keep debris from collecting. Power washers and chemicals will not damage the guard which in turn will allow the guards to last many years unlike fabric bellows.

“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
