Carriage GuardingCarriage Guarding

The ANSI/ASME B-20.1 code requires that the VRC be guarded so as to prevent injury from inadvertent physical contact. In other words, there needs to be protection from material falling or protruding from the VRC carriage.

Your basic VRC carriage has 42” high pipe rails on the non-operating side(s) and snap chain(s) across the operating (loading / unloading) end(s).The floor of the carriage is typically painted steel plate, either smooth or diamond tread.

Options available to increase your carriage guarding include:

  • Carriage GuardingFlattened expanded metal carriage side guards (48”, 60”, 72”, or full carriage height).
  • Galvanized tread plate carriage side guards (48”, or full carriage height).
  • Painted sheet metal carriage side guards (48”, 60”, 72”, or full carriage height).
  • Our exclusive, fully enclosed ArmorCar™ carriage with galvanized tread plate floor and
    walls, roll-up doors, and an expanded metal roof.
  • Flattened expanded metal carriage roofs, used on full load height guarded carriages.
    Galvanized tread plate carriage floor.
