5.4 Front shield
1. Determine dimensions (Figure 25).
The width is a minimum of 6mm [1/4”] narrower than the inner container width.
The front shield is angled about 45 degrees. When the floor slats are in the rear
position, the slide strip must still lie fully on top of the floor slats.
2. Fabricate front shield. (KEITH Manufacturing Co. supplies this in most cases.) Form
the plate and attach angled steel for support. Rivet the plastic slide strip to the shield.
3. Mount front shield.
Screw the plate to the side of the container.
Provide clean-out holes below the slope sheet.
