The Conveyor Belt Covers Built for Real-World Conditions
When you’re running a bulk material handling operation, downtime is money. The RPS CH Series conveyor belt covers are engineered to protect your system from the elements while giving your maintenance crew fast, safe access when it counts. Whether you’re battling rain, wind, UV exposure, or material spillage, these covers keep your conveyor running cleaner and longer.
Unlike fixed covers that require complete removal for inspection, the CH Series uses a full 180° hinged design, so panels swing fully open and stay out of the way. No tools. No delays. No excuses.
CH Series covers are designed to meet or exceed CEMA (Conveyor Equipment Manufacturers Association) conveyor safety guidelines.
Every CH Series conveyor belt cover is fabricated and shipped from our facility in Elgin, Illinois.
Why Choose CH Series Conveyor Belt Covers?
Full 180° Hinged Coverage Each cover hood opens completely to one side, giving your team unrestricted access to the belt, idlers, and any material buildup — without removing a single panel. Inspections that used to take an hour now take minutes.
Retaining Bar for Hands-Free Operation A built-in retaining bar holds the cover open while your crew works. No propping, no holding, no safety risk. It’s a small detail that makes a big difference in the field.
Weather-Tight Protection CH Series conveyor belt covers shield your belt, idlers, and material from the hot sun, wind, snow, rain, and other damaging weather elements — reducing belt wear, preventing moisture contamination, and keeping material in spec.
Durable Galvanized Steel Construction Standard covers are fabricated from 22-gauge, G-90 galvanized steel. Support bands are 12-gauge, G-90 galvanized steel for belt widths up to 36″, and 10-gauge, G-90 galvanized steel for belt widths 42″ and above. Assemblies include heavy-duty galvanized steel mounting foot brackets and zinc-plated standard hardware.
Flexible Idler Spacing Assemblies are made to accommodate 3′ through 5′ idler spacing, with 4′-0″ as our standard. RPS can also cut covers shorter for special sections on your project.

18″ | 20″ | 24″ | 30″ | 36″ | 42″ | 48″ | 54″ | 60″ | 72″ | 84″ | 96″
