Side protection, contact-sensitive safety systems, hob protection and programmable travel limits for Granberg height-adjustable worktops and kitchen islands.
Protect the movement zone around the lift
Choose the part of the moving system you need to protect.
Safety follows the movement
A height-adjustable work surface changes its relationship with the furniture, appliances and objects around it every time it moves.
Granberg therefore uses several different forms of protection. Some components physically close a gap. Others detect contact and stop or reverse movement. A stroke limiter can prevent the lift entering part of its normal travel range altogether.
The right combination depends on the exact lifting system and the surrounding kitchen. Safety accessories should therefore be planned with the worktop, cabinets, hob and adjacent furniture rather than treated as an afterthought.
Understand what each product is doing
These products may all appear under the heading “safety”, but mechanically they solve very different problems.
A physical panel covers or encloses an area that would otherwise become exposed as the worktop moves. The component does not need to sense an obstruction; its job is to remove or shield the opening.
Safety strips and trip plates form part of the lift's control system. Contact with an obstruction activates the safety mechanism so movement does not simply continue against the object.
Instead of waiting for contact, the permitted movement itself can be reduced. Upper and lower limits can be programmed around fixed features in the kitchen.
Baselift & moving worktop protection
Side panels and safety strips solve two different problems around an adjustable worktop. The correct solution depends on what sits beside or beneath the moving surface.
Where the moving worktop can rise above adjoining furniture, a side panel covers the changing gap between the end of the lift and the furniture below. The panels are handed left or right and differ according to whether motor cover panels are fitted.
A compressible safety strip adds active contact detection to the side of a compatible lifting system. If it encounters an obstruction, the safety circuit responds rather than allowing normal movement to continue.
Why the side matters
A worktop positioned beside fixed furniture can expose a vertical opening as it moves. The required protection depends on the lift, the adjacent furniture and whether cover panels are fitted.
Protection beneath cooking equipment
Granberg's 6266 protective plate fits below compatible worktop-lift and Centerlift 6490H installations. It protects against heat radiation from a cooking hob and provides a smooth enclosed surface beneath the compartment frame.
It can also be used beneath drawers, making it useful where the underside of the moving worktop needs to be enclosed rather than leaving internal components exposed.
Conceptual section only — final dimensions and fixing depend on the lift and appliance specification.
Sidelift 6400 & Centerlift 6490H
Hanging cabinets create useful storage beneath a moving Sidelift or Centerlift, but their underside also becomes part of the moving assembly. Granberg safety plates add contact protection beneath those cabinets.
Ready-made safety plates
Granberg's standard safety plates are 466mm deep, 12mm thick and finished in white painted MDF. Six widths correspond with common hanging-cabinet sizes.
Avoid the obstruction before contact occurs
The stroke-limiter system is useful where the normal travel of a compatible lift would conflict with a fixed feature, or where the usable height range needs to be coordinated with the rest of the kitchen.
The reusable digital programming box connects to the compatible lifting-system control arrangement.
Programme the required upper limit, lower limit or both so the moving surface no longer uses its entire original travel.
The programmer is removed for reuse. The memory adapter remains connected to the individual lift so its programmed limits are retained.
Reusable stroke-limiter programming box supplied with one memory adapter. Compatible with specified Baselift, Sidelift and Centerlift 6490 systems.
Add one for each additional compatible lifting system whose programmed upper or lower travel limits need to be retained.
Before choosing the safety components
Compatibility and risk depend on the complete installation, not simply the name of the accessory.
Confirm the exact Baselift, Plusmodule, Sidelift or Centerlift model before choosing a safety component.
Look at walls, tall units, base furniture and loose objects beside each end of the moving worktop.
Baselift side safety-panel depth changes according to whether motor cover panels are fitted.
Hobs, drawers and suspended cabinets change what sits within the movement zone below the worktop.
Window cills and other fixed features may make a programmed upper or lower limit useful.
Safety functions should be commissioned and checked as part of the completed lifting-system installation.
Send us the Granberg system model, kitchen plan and details of the furniture, hob or cabinets around the moving surface. We can help identify the relevant safety components.
Made by Granberg
Granberg designs the lift, controls, safety systems, storage and finishing components as parts of a coordinated height-adjustable kitchen system. Matching accessories to the correct lifting model helps the finished installation work as intended.
