Dirt conveyors are for short duration jobs that involve moving dry soil, aggregate, sand, or gravel, even wet slurries, and mud. They’re fabricated in narrow widths and short lengths to access confined spaces and may be mounted on a wheeled undercarriage for mobility. Longer distances are easily covered by cascading from one conveyor onto the next. Cleats or buckets on the belt prevent material rollback.

A dirt conveyor will move more tons per hour than you could achieve with wheelbarrows and require a fraction of the labor. If you’re looking for a way to get a project finished faster, a dirt conveyor may be the tool you need.

Applications for dirt conveyors include:

• Excavating pits, trenches, or basement spaces
• Moving fertilizer or grain in and out of storage bins
• Taking sand and gravel to locations lacking truck access

West River Conveyors are experts in building systems for conveying wet, dry, heavy, and abrasive materials in places like mines, quarries, ports, storage yards, power plants, and construction sites. We engineer our custom dirt conveyors to suit your needs, build them from quality materials, and source components from industry-leading manufacturers.

CUSTOM DIRT CONVEYOR PACKAGES

A dirt conveyor can move from 25 to 50 tons/hr depending on width. Shorter conveyor lengths offer superior mobility, especially when mounted on a wheeled undercarriage. Reduce side spills with troughed belts or ask about side extensions.

West River Conveyors can prepare a custom package meeting your requirements for a dirt conveyor. This will address:

• Width and length required
• Belt construction (including covers and cleats/buckets)
• Drive system
• Motor phase and voltage
• Motor size and mounting location
