Coupling guard
Thread Content
Hello everyone. There are quite a few pumps in my workshop, and I need to turn them manually every day. However, the coupling guards on these pumps are fixed in place with bolts; I have to tighten those screws each day just to turn the pumps, which is time-consuming and not very efficient. Therefore, I was wondering if there are any coupling guards that come with a mechanism for easy turning of the pumps, or ones that are semi-open with clips. If such products exist, could you recommend them to me? Pictures would be helpful as well.
There are such things! It’s usually this type with a flip cover

It’s quite common; one can make it oneself or request it when ordering the complete unit
There are two hinges on one side, and a buckle on the other side; they are riveted together. The image is for reference only
@Foam, no infringement here: lol
If possible, one can carry out the modifications oneself; it’s quite simple – a flashlight, a rivet gun, a angle grinder, two hinges, a set of locks, and several rivets are all that’s needed
The shield can definitely be made by oneself
