Hitch Guards
Hitch Guards
Hitch Guards are engineered to provide a smooth transition of product over the conveyor hitch, preventing small objects from becoming lodged in the hitch, which can cause longitudinal conveyor belt tears, damage to conveyed products, and costly periods of unscheduled downtime. Designed to permit individual segments to release from the support bar, objects are quickly dislodged while remaining segments stay secured for continued operation.
Why Hitch Guards?
- Support bar and segments can be easily customized for any belt width
- Durable UHMW segments provide for low friction and high wear
- 3” segments are easy to install and quickly release under pressure of trapped objects
- Compatible with mechanical and endless belt splices
- Choose from a Universal Mounting System or a Scanner Eye Mounting System
- Specially designed gauge for proper positioning in the hitch allowing for optimal installation and performance
- Bright yellow color makes segments easy to monitor for replacement
