Trunking sections are designed to provide superb dust and weather tight protection. Sections are jigged and continuous seam welded. Angle iron or plate flanges, depending on the series, are engineered for the job and minimize overlap to prevent the trapping of corrosive moisture or product. 14, 12, and 10 gauge trunking is available. Reinforced inspection stations ensure trunk integrity when removable covers are off. Inspection ports can be positioned in four different locations by rotating the section and cover, allowing for easier ongoing inspection and maintenance.
Ladder and safety cage are standard galvanized construction. Head service platforms, distributor service platforms and OSHA rest platforms are painted or hot dipped galvanized and come assembled to save valuable time during installation.
