The fixed three-sided elevator car top safety barrier provides compliant fall protection for lift technicians working on car roofs during installation, servicing, and inspection. Engineered in accordance with EN 81-20 requirements, this system is designed to improve lift safety compliance across commercial and residential buildings throughout New Zealand.

Manufactured from high-strength, lightweight mild steel, the barrier kit is designed for secure installation while remaining practical to handle on-site. Its adjustable configuration allows it to suit a wide range of elevator car top sizes, making it ideal for both new lift installations and modernisation projects upgrading non-compliant car top protection systems.

Suitable for lift car tops up to 2000 mm (L) x 2000 mm (W) x 1100 mm (H), the system can be trimmed on-site to suit smaller car dimensions, with a minimum adjustable height of 700 mm. The barrier can be mounted directly onto Unistrut channels or the lift car roof surface and includes reinforcement components to stabilise weak or flexing car tops. Optional toe boards are available to provide additional perimeter protection where required.

This fixed car top safety barrier delivers a practical, durable and fully compliant solution for lift companies seeking reliable EN 81-compliant protection in New Zealand.

Folding Elevator Car-Top Safety Barrier

Space-Saving EN 81-20 Compliant Car Roof Protection System

This folding elevator car top safety barrier provides a flexible, space-efficient solution for technician fall protection during installation, servicing, and inspection. Engineered to meet EN 81-20 safety requirements when installed using the recommended fixing kit, the system delivers compliant protection while maintaining valuable car roof working space.

Designed for lateral installation on either side of the elevator car roof, the barrier automatically locks into the upright position when deployed. Integrated safety contacts monitor both the folded and operational positions, allowing connection to the elevator safety circuit for enhanced compliance and operational control.

When installed as a pair, the barriers are engineered to fold neatly against one another, creating a compact profile that maximises available space — ideal for modern elevator designs and retrofit projects where car top clearance is limited.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Designed to achieve EN 81-20 compliance when installed with recommended fixing kit
• Fold-down configuration for compact storage on the car roof
• Automatic locking mechanism — no manual locking required
• Integrated safety sensors monitor both folded and upright positions
• Connects directly to elevator safety circuits
• Height: 1100mm
• Width: 1300mm (Adjustable onsite)
• Option 1 Height: 528mm (folded)
• Option 2 Height: 578mm (folded)
• Suitable for installation on either side of the car roof
• Optional toe boards available for additional perimeter protection

Folding Elevator Car-Top Safety Barrier

Space-Saving EN 81-20 Compliant Car Roof Protection System

The base-folding elevator car top safety barrier is designed for applications where maximum working space and full-height edge protection are required. Unlike mid-fold systems, this model folds at the base, allowing the entire barrier assembly to lower compactly against the car roof while maintaining full structural height when deployed.

Engineered to comply with EN 81-20 lift safety standards, this barrier system provides secure fall protection for technicians working on elevator car roofs during installation, maintenance, and inspection. Its robust construction and integrated position monitoring make it suitable for both new installations and safety modernisation upgrades.

The system is supplied as a complete kit, including structural posts, horizontal guard rails, and fixing materials for straightforward installation.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 81-20 car top safety requirements
• Base-folding configuration for compact storage when not in use
• Corrosion-resistant galvanised steel finish for long-term durability
• Electrical monitoring of barrier position for integration with elevator safety circuits
• Supplied complete with fixing hardware for secure installation
• Structural components include:
• 2 x vertical support posts
• 2 x 2 m horizontal guard rails
• Adjustable width: 2000 mm
• Option 1 Height: 700 mm (upright)
• Option 2 Height: 1100 mm (upright)
• Optional toe boards available for enhanced perimeter protection

Adjustable Height Elevator Car-Top Barrier
EN 81-20 Compliant Variable-Height Car Roof Protection System

The adjustable height elevator car top safety barrier is engineered to provide compliant edge protection while allowing flexibility to suit varying shaft and car top configurations. Designed in accordance with EN 81-20 safety standards, this system enables technicians to work safely during installation, servicing, and inspection of elevator equipment.

Ideal for projects where car roof clearances or site-specific conditions vary, the barrier height can be easily adjusted to meet required protection levels without compromising compliance. This makes it particularly suitable for modernisation upgrades and retrofit applications where existing installations may not meet current safety standards.

Manufactured with a corrosion-resistant galvanised finish, the system delivers durable, long-term performance in demanding elevator environments.

Key Features & Technical Specifications

• Designed and manufactured in accordance with EN 81-20 car top safety requirements
• Adjustable height configuration to suit varying shaft conditions
• Corrosion-resistant galvanised steel construction
• Supplied complete with all required fixing materials
• Electrical monitoring of barrier position for connection to elevator safety circuits
• Structural components include:
• 2 x vertical support posts
• 2 x 2 m horizontal guard rails
• Adjustable width: 2000 mm
• Option 1 Adjustable Height Range: 500–700 mm
• Option 2 Adjustable Height Range: 700–1100 mm
