Portable maintenance units – generators, compressors, pumps, welding sets and similar equipment – are typically parked as close as possible to the job, which usually means directly in or beside an active walkway, work area or vehicle route.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Every one of these units needs power, air or fluid lines running to and from it, and those lines cross ground that other people are walking, working and driving over for as long as the unit is on site – sometimes for the length of an entire maintenance job.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A maintenance unit rarely stays in one spot for long – it moves from job to job, sometimes daily. CableSafe cable guards and ramps are designed for fast, repeated set-up and take-down, so the lines running to and from the unit are protected everywhere it goes.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Heavy-duty cable guards handle vehicle crossings near the unit’s working area, while lighter guards and ramps cover pedestrian walkways – both without a permanent site installation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Westmark B.V., trading as CableSafe, has supplied industrial safety hardware since 1991. Our cable guards and safety hooks are built for equipment that moves from job to job, set up and taken down repeatedly.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Our products are manufactured to relevant EN 1263-1 standards and international dropped-objects prevention (DROPS) guidance, giving maintenance teams a specified, documented solution rather than an improvised fix.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
