Goal Post Structures for Catwalk Support
In modern grain storage facilities, goal post structures are an essential support system for catwalks, conveyors, and elevators. Designed in a robust “H” or “U” frame style, these structures provide maximum strength, stability, and durability, ensuring safe access and reliable support for heavy conveyor loads across silo spans.
Why Goal Posts Are Important
- Structural Support: Safely carry catwalks and overhead conveyor systems between silos.
- Load Bearing Capacity: Designed to withstand high static and dynamic loads of chain conveyors, belt conveyors, and maintenance traffic.
- Safety Assurance: Ensures secure walkway access for inspection and service personnel.
- Flexibility: Can be tailored for various silo heights, spans, and catwalk widths
Design & Features
- Heavy-Duty Fabrication: Built with high-grade steel and industrial-grade coatings for corrosion resistance.
- Custom Heights: From 6 m to 35 m, depending on silo size and layout.
- Modular Design: Easy to assemble, dismantle, and expand as storage capacity grows.
- Foundation Anchoring: Strong base plates and bolted connections ensure structural stability.
- Integrated Safety Options: Handrails, ladders, and maintenance platforms can be incorporated.
