REMOVABLE PLASTIC CORROSION PROTECTION ON AN ELEVATOR GUIDE RAIL

摘要

A guide rail (24) for an elevator system includes a plastic layer (50) covering over at least guiding surfaces (40) of a blade portion (28). The plastic layer (50) is applied to protect selected surfaces during shipment and storage, for example. At an appropriate time during installation, the plastic layer (50) is removable to expose the protected guiding surfaces (40).
