Had a newbie call me about "Lining" the conveyor deck. AFAIAC this is "Common Knowledge". Basicaly you have strips of steel on top of the conveyor deck where the pusher / rollers ride. His deck was wearing and the distributor reccomended the lining.

So it got me to thinking. About 30 or so years ago we decided that whenever we installed a new conveyor we would line the deck (or order it that way) before the rollers had a chance to wear the deck. This saves the structure and you jsut replace the lining / flat stock periodicaly when it becomes thin.

Do most of you do this?

On 4wheel dolly conveyors this is very common. This is also part of the reason for the creation of the 6wheel dollies.

Heck, my Flapan conveyors are 2 wheel dollies.
