Ceiling Supports provide safe and sturdy means of gaining high conveyor elevations. Used when maximum utilization of floor space is needed or when required height exceeds floor support capability. 5/8 inch fully threaded steel rod connects to 1-1/2 in. I.D. (1/9 in. O.D.) support which bolts to underside of conveyor with "U" brackets. Ceiling Supports can be supplied with gravity or powered conveyors. It is recommended that guard rails be used on conveyors that are ceiling hung.
Some things to consider when adding casters:
- Make sure the overhead structure is capable of supporting the weight of the conveyor when it is fully loaded with the heaviest product. An architect is a good resource to determine if a roof structure is capable of handling the added load. An engineer may be required to determine what is required to connect the support to other structures.
- It is recommended that guard rails be used on conveyors that are ceiling hung.
- Additional bracing may be required to prevent the conveyor from swaying in certain conditions such as, starting and stopping.
- 5/8 in. dia. x 8 ft. long unplated fully threaded rod
- Sturdy crosspipe mounts to underside of bed section.
- Available on most standard with conveyors.
