Hydraulic Shop Press Guarding encloses the press work area to keep operators clear of pinch points, crushing hazards, and parts ejected under load during pressing, forming, and straightening. Each guard is built by PowerSafe around the specific press so the danger zone stays covered without blocking the operator's view of the part and tooling. Steel frame with clear polycarbonate or steel-mesh shielding, sized to the machine and the workpiece.  Available in full-enclosure, half-enclosure, and front-shield configurations, with optional door interlocking that disables hydraulic activation whenever the guard is open.
