Two Custom-Designed Push-Pull Systems

Key Considerations:
Harsh Environment: Chain is constantly exposed to weld spatter and smoke.
The weld is performed while the system is pushed out 17 feet.
System Specifics:
2 Rigid Chain Push/Pull Systems:
System 1: Guides the gauge box. Equipped with special oversized rollers and side roller brackets. A specially machined housing accommodates the oversized rollers.
System 2: Also has oversize rollers, gripper plates, as well as, pins to attach the electrical hose carrier plates. This system includes a special-machined zero-degree housing for a straight through chain drive.
