Help: Supports
About this Section:
Floor supports are optional equipment on most conveyors.  Most supports have a specific adjustment range.  Permanent supports have a pivoting connection plate where the support attaches to the conveyor section.

Some things to consider when selecting floor supports.

  • Supports are an option on all conveyors.
  • Permanent floor supports are intended to be lagged to the floor.
  • Temporary floors supports are portable and can be adjusted without tools.
  • Consider adding knee braces with floor support on free standing conveyor sections.
  • The amount of adjustment in the floor support is dependant on the height of the support.
  • Supports are required at each location where bed sections join.  Supports are commonly supplied on 10 ft. centers. 5 ft. centers is common to achieve extra load capacity on gravity conveyors.
  • Curved conveyors require a support at each end and a single center leg on the outside radius of the curve.
  • Sharing supports is easily achieved when the two joining conveyors have the same frame depth.
  • Consider the drive depth below the frame when determining the minimum height of your conveyor.
  • Be aware that replacement supports are specified by the height of the SUPPORT itself. Options listed in the online store for a particular conveyor are generally specified to the top of the conveying surface.
Permanent Floor supports are available on all conveyor widths.
