| Cargotainer Conveyor Guard provides full protection
for plant personnel working under or near overhead conveyor lines. The modular
sections are constructed of cold-drawn, heavy gauge steel wire, woven into a tough but
lightweight wire mesh fabric welded at the intersections. Side units are helixed to
the bottom unit with eight-gauge steel wire, and the completed sections are painted with
an aluminum colored water base paint. Conveyor Guard offers
exceptional resistance to impact displacement due to the
high resiliency of the wire. The 2" x 4" mesh size provides excellent
visibility, allowing full view of loads moving along the conveyor path.
Installation is simple and easy, can be readily handled by your own
maintenance people. No special engineering layouts are required. Sections
fasten to simple angle iron frames suspended from any convenient overhead support.
No special tools are needed and no bolting or welding is necessary.
General Data And Specifications
MATERIALS & CONSTRUCTION --- Conveyor Guard is constructed of
cold drawn #2-gauge wire fabricated into 2" x 4" wire mesh welded at the
intersections. The wire mesh fabric allows full, see-thru visibility, is virtually
maintenance-free and eliminates danger from fire and accumulated dirt. Wire meets
ASTM specification A-82-34 with minimum tensile strength of 70,000 lbs.

SECTION DETAILS --- Conveyor Guard sections are
shipped fully assembled to size and ready to install. Back and side units are
helixed together using #8-gauge steel wire. When not in use, sides and deck fold
together for flat, compact storage. Adjoining sections are helixed together at the
job site, providing positive fastening of consecutive units. 90° turns are easily
made by cutting corner section of standard deck to shape with wire cutters. (Excess
material can be used for patch work.)
SIZES --- Standard sections measure 8' in length. Side panels
are available in 1', 2', and 3' heights and deck units are furnished in standard 2', 3',
and 4' widths. Larger deck widths (from 4' - 6') are constructed with transverse
channels for added strength and can be supplied upon request.

Bends of 90° are easily made using standard sections.
