Choosing the Right Conveyor

A material conveyor moves firewood, mulch, aggregate, bagged goods, and other materials up, over, and into trucks, bins, and stockpiles, replacing heavy manual lifting and speeding up production. For firewood processors, landscapers, and material handlers, a conveyor keeps the whole operation flowing.

Choose based on length, belt width, and incline capability, plus how it's powered. Longer conveyors reach higher stockpiles and truck beds, wider belts move bulkier material, and the drive should match your throughput and where you'll set it up.

Sizing a Conveyor to Your Job

Start with the height you need to reach and the material you're moving. A longer conveyor loads taller trucks and builds bigger piles, while belt width and cleats determine what it can carry up an incline. Match the drive and capacity to your daily volume.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I move with a conveyor?

Firewood, mulch, soil, gravel, sand, bagged products, and similar bulk or unit materials. Cleated belts help carry loose material up steeper inclines without rolling back.

How long a conveyor do I need?

Base it on the discharge height you need, such as loading a truck or topping a stockpile, plus the incline angle. Longer units reach higher but need more space to set up. We can help you size it to your setup.

How is a conveyor powered?

Depending on the model, conveyors run on electric or gas drives. Choose based on where you'll operate it and whether power is available on site.
