Accident prevention grills

Accident prevention grills provide safety for operators against the furnace pit which is revealed when the furnace is tipped. There are 3-sided accident prevention grills which raise themselves automatically to a height of approx. 1 m behind the furnace and inclined toward the front at each side by means of counterbalance weights. A later construction works without counterbalance weights, and instead uses pre-loaded springs, which allow a maximum movement of 1.2 m.
