Side guards are fabricated of 12 gauge steel, with 3/16†x 1 1/4†x 1 1/4†steel angle welded on the outside, spaced on maximum 3’-4†centers for transport conveyors, and maximum 2’-6†centers for load conveyors. The side guards and conveyor bedplate channel form an integral welded frame for bed sections.
Bolt-on side guards are used for drive assemblies, and available for end brackets. Typical side guard heights are 12†or 21†tall, with 1 1/2†wide top flanges and 1†tall return flanges for strength.
