Why The Grate Guys
What to expect from conveyor guards in St. Thomas
Inspection stays visible
Expanded metal, perforated panels, or framed mesh can protect moving parts while letting operators see belt tracking and buildup. Solid plate is not always the right guard.
Removable for maintenance
Bolted panels, captive hardware, and manageable section sizes let maintenance staff reach bearings and rollers without cutting guards off later.
Clearance for moving belt
Guard brackets are set far enough from the belt, return rollers, and product path to avoid rubbing. A guard that contacts the conveyor becomes a machine problem.
Made in Canada
Why Canadian-made metalwork matters
Custom metalwork made in Canada gives contractors, property teams, and facilities tighter quality control, faster lead times, and fewer cross-border delays. The work is fabricated in our Toronto shop, with Canadian steel and other metals selected when the application requires them.
Custom, local, built to spec
We support your conveyor guards with Canadian-made fabrication, Canadian steel, clear local coordination, and a shop team close enough to solve site details before they become delays.
