we are still trying to figure out the best method for putting a guard over it, we are worried that if you put something directly across and it were to bend due to impact and flex into the roller. It may cause the roller to catch and motors to stall. We are definitely working on it. If you have any ideas to help us out let us know.

Dan,
if your not out of envelope yet, just take a peice of angle stock, and bolt it to the front spanning between the peices of square stock. that should give your rollers enough protection, just a suggestion.
