[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 742818, member: 12570"] You bring up a valid concern. We have one of these on our main belt. It is supported by cables on each side. There is less than 3' between the chute and the belt when the chute is raised so obviously no one could stand under it. The chute is also above a gap in the belts (3-4" gap) where pkgs can get hung up. The potential for injury does exist if a loader is reaching to free packages in that gap and the cables were to break. The one concern that I do have, and one that I have pointed out to both mgt and Keter, is that there is no black foam protection (think of the stuff used to insulate copper pipes, but thicker) to cover metal corners. The proximity of these corners to the walkway near the belt lends itself to potential injury. [/QUOTE]
