Quick Overview

The 1050-A03 accordion safety skirt is the factory guard for the scissor mechanism on a Pony Express 1050-EL motorized electric lift cart. It is a pleated skirt that closes in the space under the deck and folds down with the scissors as the cart lowers, so the gaps that open and close during a lift stay covered through the whole cycle.

A scissor lift is a pinch hazard by design. The 1050-EL raises the deck from 18.5 in off the floor up to 64 in, and every inch of that travel opens and closes a gap between the moving arms. The accordion skirt keeps hands, sleeves, air lines and stray parts out of that gap and keeps swarf and debris off the mechanism, which is why plants working to a machine guarding standard usually specify it on the order.

This is the option Electro Kinetic Technologies lists on the 1050-EL factory page as the optional safety skirt, and it is built to order in Germantown Wisconsin to suit the 43.5 in long by 23 in wide platform. It carries a 1 year warranty. Because it fits around the lift mechanism itself, the simplest route is to order it with a new cart, and we can ask the factory about fitting one to a 1050-EL that is already in service.

If you are guarding several carts or a whole cell, tell us how many units and we will quote them together. See also the Pony Express 1050-EL lift cart, the ball transfer top 0244-500 and the gravity roller conveyor top 0244-505.

What does the accordion safety skirt protect?

It closes off the space around the scissor mechanism under the deck. As the 1050-EL travels between 18.5 in and 64 in, the arms open and close a gap that will catch a hand, a sleeve or a hose. The skirt keeps that gap covered and keeps debris off the mechanism at the same time.

Will it fit a 1050-EL we already own?

It is built for the 1050-EL and it fits around the lift mechanism, so ordering it with a new cart is the clean route. If your cart is already in service, send us the serial number and we will get a retrofit answer from Electro Kinetic Technologies before you order.

How long is the warranty on the safety skirt?

Electro Kinetic Technologies covers the 1050-A03 skirt for 1 year. It is a genuine EKT part and Heavy Duty Mobility is an authorized dealer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why would I add a safety skirt to a lift cart?

Because the scissor mechanism is the one moving part on the cart that can catch a person. Operators reach under a raised deck to steady a load or to pick something up off the floor, and that is the moment a scissor lift bites. The skirt puts a barrier around the mechanism through the whole range of travel.

Does the skirt change how the cart operates?

It is the factory option Electro Kinetic Technologies lists for this cart, and the pleats fold as the deck lowers, so it is designed to move with the machine rather than fight it. If you need exact clearances or cycle figures for your application, ask us and we will get them from the factory.

Which cart does 1050-A03 fit?

The Pony Express 1050-EL motorized electric lift cart, with its 43.5 in by 23 in usable platform. It is not a universal skirt, so confirm your model with us before ordering.

Can we retrofit it to a cart that is already in the plant?

Often yes, but it depends on the build of the cart you have. Send us the serial number and we will check with EKT rather than have you order a part that will not go on.

What warranty does it carry and how do I order?

It carries a 1 year warranty from Electro Kinetic Technologies and it is built to order in the United States. Add it to your cart and check out online, or call us toll free at 1-888-233-5563 and we will place the order and confirm fit for you.
