Side guards are bolt-on style, fabricated from 12 gauge steel with welded external 3/16” x 1 1/4” x 1 1/4” steel angle stiffeners.  Side guard heights range from 3” tall to 21” tall, with 1 1/2” wide top flanges and 1” tall return flanges for strength.  Tapered and hinged-style side guard configurations are also available, such as for EDS feed applications, enabling bag removal and insertion at the feed entry of the EDS.
