WELCOME TO GUARD-TECH LTD.

Specialists in PUWER98 Compliance, Telescopic Way Covers, Swarf Management Systems and Machine Tool Safety Guarding.

PUWER98 - (PROVISION & USE OF WORKING EQUIPMENT REG'S. 1998)

In 1998 PUWER legislation was introduced in the UK by the HSE putting responsibility onto employers to ensure that their machinery was brought upto a safe standard of operation to protect both operatives and other personnel from injury. This provided employers with a clear set of guidelines on what was required to meet PUWER98 Compliance criteria. Guard-Tech has vast experience carrying out PUWER98 Assessments on all types of machine tooling equipment providing detailed PUWER98 Assessment Reports highlighting any non-compliance issues, risk assessments and recommendations on how to become fully PUWER98 Compliant.

THE UK'S NO.1 TELESCOPIC WAY COVER MANUFACTURER!

Telescopic Way Covers provide a durable solution for the protection of slideways and precision machine tooling components from all types of Swarf Chips, Oil and Coolant. As well as manufacturing new Telescopic Way Covers, Guard-Tech also offers a comprehensive refurbishment service bringing badly worn and/or damaged Telescopic Way Covers back to 'as new' condition. We also offer a 24hr Emergency Breakdown & Repair Service whereby our engineers will attend site to carry out Repair/Remedial Work ensuring minimum downtime and lost production.

SPECIALISTS IN SWARF & COOLANT MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS!

Swarf & Coolant Management Systems may not in themselves earn you revenue, but when they no longer perform efficiently or are seriously worn/damaged they may well prove costly in lost production time and result in damage to key machine parts. When such circumstances arise Guard-Tech offers a service that responds quickly, is cost effective and most importantly minimises lost production time. Guard-Tech can either manufacture and install completely new bespoke Swarf & Coolant Management System, Reverse Engineer or Service & Repair your existing system to an 'as-new' condition.
