The SB-2000 is an industrial roll up barricade that will protect operators and products. This guard unrolls from the steel post and is ideal for securing areas and preventing access. Used for both indoor and outdoor applications, it easily will adjust to your desired length to form a firm barricade. The rugged design will last for many cycles and can endure repetitive use.

Versatile Attachment Styles

6 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

Need to Make a Long Roll Up Barricade?

If you need a long straight line or even if you need to make a large custom shape then simply connect the guards like below. Shown with different attachment styles for your reference (styles 4,5 and 2). By using the maximum shade span of 20' you can achieve a very long retractable barrier.

FAQ

Can I attach the roll up mechanism to a post or wall?

  • Yes. The mounting bracket is for a wall, bollard or column mounting. We supply 2 'L'-shaped brackets. The distance to the wall is adjustable with bolts, and they can be flipped to allow right-mount or left-mount.

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

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 25mm 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.

Are your barriers compatible with safety interlock systems?

  • Yes, all of our barriers, including the SB-4000 Retractable Barrier Fence, the SB-3000 Industrial Retractable Barrier, the SB-2000 Industrial Roll-Up Barricade, the SB-5000 Rolling Welding Curtains, and the SB-9000 Retractable Welding Screen, are fully compatible with third-party safety interlock hardware.

    In factories, fabrication shops, and industrial facilities across Ireland, the UK, and mainland Europe, safety interlocks are standard compliance requirements. They ensure facilities meet strict machinery-safety obligations, including:

    • The EU Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC (which will be superseded by Machinery Regulation (EU) 2023/1230 from 20 January 2027).
    • The UK Supply of Machinery (Safety) Regulations.
    • Workplace health and safety mandates like the Use of Work Equipment Directive 2009/104/EC (and PUWER regulations in the UK).

    Under relevant harmonised and designated standards—in particular EN ISO 14119 for interlocking devices associated with guards and EN ISO 14118 for the prevention of unexpected start-up—interlocks serve as a critical layer of protection. They ensure machinery cannot operate while a barrier or guard is open, displaced, or removed.

    While we do not supply safety interlocks ourselves, AKON's retractable barriers, industrial barricades, and welding screens are all engineered to work seamlessly with third-party interlock hardware that conforms to EN ISO 14119. This allows you to easily maintain compliance with European, Irish, and UK workplace safety laws without compromising your operational workflow.

    Yes, all of our barries including SB-4000 Retractable Barrier Fence, the SB-3000 Industrial Retractable Barrier, the SB-2000 Industrial Roll-Up Barricade, the SB-5000 Rolling Welding Curtains, and the SB-9000 Retractable Welding Screen are fully compatibile with any third-party safety interlock hardware.Safety interlocks are often needed in factories, construction shops, and industrial facilities to meet OSHA standards 29 CFR 1910.212 (General Machine Guarding Standard) and 29 CFR 1910.147 (Lockout/Tagout). This standard may require safety interlocks as a layer of protection in industrial settings to guarantee that machinery cannot operate when a barrier or guard is open, displaced, or removed.While we do not directly supply safety interlocks, AKON’s retractable barries, industrial barricades and screens are all made to be completely comp[atible with third-party safety interlock hardware for extra layer of control. This is to guarantee that your business complies with OSHA regulations without interfering with your workflow.

 

Testimonials

 

"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."
Brian - International Paper
