Liftgard® Bellows


The Liftgard design provides significant advantages over stitched lift covers that utilize rods inserted into fabric pockets. Internal and external aluminum frames provide structure and strength to a wide range of materials, and more rigidity compared to traditional covers.  The result: easier installation, better structure, superior appearance. The standard Liftgard design includes a zipper and vented corners to accommodate rapidly rising/descending lifts.

Elevate Your Safety: The Importance of Lift Covers and ISO 14120:2015 Compliance

The updated ISO14120-2015 standard emphasizes the importance of safeguarding machinery, outlining stringent requirements for fixed and movable guards. With references to ISO 12100 for risk assessment and risk reduction, the latest standards emphasize enclosing guards wherever practical, accompanied by mandatory risk assessments.

ISO 14120:2015  “Safety of machinery – Guards – General requirements for the design and construction of fixed and movable guards” has been updated and replaces an older version with updated references to more stringent standards including ISO 12100 (Risk Assessment and Risk Reduction) as well as others that provide guidance on means of attachment and safe operating distances.  The update now includes “Where practical, hazards shall be guarded by enclosing guards” and Risk Assessments of the machinery must be applied.

To comply, lift table manufactures and users are now protecting the scissors portion of the equipment.  For over a decade, Dynatect has been providing lift table protection bellows, with the latest and most advanced version being Liftgard, which offers numerous advantages over traditional sewn bellows.  Also, Dynatect offers adding your brand to the bellows using labeling which is RoHS/2002/95 EU compliant featuring strong adhesion and resistance to various oils/solvents.
