Beltcover
Strong weather proof belt covers by Gough Plastics
Better do the right thing
Beltcover, Gough Plastic’s unique conveyor belt cover system, not only keeps your material in and the weather out. It saves you time and money.
With new occupational health and safety regulations coming into effect in various locations around Australia, it is now essential for industries to cover their loads.
So we invite you to come undercover for a better look…
Better Made
Beltcover is the first product of its kind ever to be built solely for the purpose of covering conveyor belts. The moulded sections are made from polyethylene that’s tough, durable and extremely long lasting.
It has qualities that are far superior to corrugated iron and other alternatives that have been tried over the years.
Beltcover is cost effective, especially in the long run. Once installed, downtime for servicing is minimized due to its easy access features.
There are two styles to choose from, depending on your needs:
- An all-weather ‘roof’
- An on-belt containment
Better for you
Beltcover is the perfect cover for any application where increasingly stringent environmental regulations for noise, corrosion and dust control are in effect …
The on-belt version promotes a cleaner, healthier environment by containing dust and fibres and reducing pollution. The all weather keeps the environment at bay – come rain, wind, or cyclone, your product stays put and stays dry!
People’s exposure to potentially harmful dust and fibres in the air is greatly reduced. And reduces noise pollution.
Better fit
Beltcover’s modular design offers ultimate flexibility when it comes to fitting and maintenance.
The modular sections have an effective length of 2.2m or 1.77m with a model to suit the required belt or stringer width. The lightweight sections are easily maneuverable for convenient installation. Individual sections can also be cut to shorter lengths.
The covers can be easily retrofitted to your existing conveyor but the best option is to design them in from the start.
For special applications, Beltcover can be custom-made to whatever specifications you require.
Easy access
- Each medium section weighs, on average, a mere 27kg – so it can be easily opened by one person.
- A moulded hinged system allows foe easy installation and removal for maintenance. No more cranes or strains.
- Access to the belt is an easy one-person ‘flip-top’ operation from the side.
Made to fit you schedule
As a rough guide, approximately 100m per day can be fitted, with ground level access.
Covers are delivered to site pallatized for ease of unloading and postitioning on site until ready to install.
Better design
Beltcover is designed to withstand the harshest environments
The cover is designed to withstand wind loads to Region 'D' Cyclone Category 1 at an elevation of 30 meters above ground level.

Darwin Port Authority
The Darwin Port Authority have installed 4123 metres of Black, Medium Allweather Beltcover at wharf loading facilities in the Darwin Harbour. The system carries a number of products such as lead, zinc, and copper concentrate. All covers were fitted in situ, to the existing system.
Beltcover has been introduced to their system to help provide protection to the surrounding environment and to protect the products being conveyed from the extreme external elements in this part of Australia.
Incitec Gibson Island plant Brisbane
The Beltcover at Incitec is Medium Black to suit a 750mm wide system carrying fertiliser to the ship loading facility on site.
The initial set up of units installed measured 120 metres in length, with another 100 metres since installed.
Incitec have installed the new polyethylene Beltcover which will protect their product range from the outside elements during transportation. No more corrosion problems and easy accessibility for maintenance.
