Why do I need guarding?
As a business owner or person responsible for a building, you are legally a duty holder. This means that you have a responsibility and duty of care to those who use and work in the building. By law, you are required to make sure that your lifts are compliant with the Lifts Directive, Machinery Directive EN81 and UK legislation. A way you can do this is to ensure that you have lift guarding installed in your motor room, lift shaft and lift car top.
What is a gear raft?
To ensure the smooth running of your lift system, it’s essential that you have a high-performing gear raft in place. Within the mechanics of a lift, there are certain machines which control the ropes and pulleys to effectively move the lift car sling and cabin. A gear raft is a unit that this machine sits on and is required to be robust, durable and well-manufactured. Fortunately, at Mulhouse, we have the experience and skills required to manufacture gear rafts to exceptionally high standards.

What is guarding?
When a lift engineer is conducting maintenance, repairs or lift installation, they need to be protected against risk. Whether that’s in the machine room, lift shaft or lift car top, there needs to be adequate protection in place. Fortunately, we manufacture high-performance gear rafts and guarding for this very reason. Without them, engineers could face life-changing injuries from contact with:
- Sheaves
- Pulleys and cables
- Shafts
- Breaks
- Governors
- Handwheels
- And more
Are there any requirements for guarding?
Several regulations must be considered for guarding. These include:
- Guards must be suitable for the purpose for which they are intended
- They must be of good construction, sound material and adequate strength
- Proper maintenance should be undertaken regularly
- They should not increase health and safety risks
- They must not be easily bypassed or disabled
- They shouldn’t restrict the view of the operating cycle of the machinery
