At West River, we understand that efficiency, price, and equipment durability are your leading concerns when purchasing conveyor equipment. We are committed to building quality products by listening to and understanding our customers’ needs.
Conveyor Systems
West River builds durable, custom conveyor systems for the mining industry. Our conveyors are engineered to efficiently and safely transport copper, coal, salt, potash, and precious metal ores.
Our rugged conveyors withstand the mining industry’s challenges.
Long runs
High temperatures
Uphill hauls
Heavy, abrasive materials
Dirty or dusty environments
We build our custom conveyor systems tough and can provide a complete turnkey conveyor package or individual conveyor system components and parts.
Underground mining conveyor systems must be high-quality due to the combination of dust, dirt, and confined spaces. These systems are also subject to various complex OSHA, MSHA, and state regulations.
We offer a variety of conveyor structures and belt options to meet your underground mining needs, such as conveyor structures, belts, terminal equipment, and accessories.
Every underground application is different—ask us about custom equipment packages tailored to your needs.
Move massive quantities of bulk materials from their source to stockpiles or processing facilities with overland conveyors, and keep operational costs and disruptions to a minimum.
Our customizable used and rebuilt conveyors are a prime option for managing your mining equipment needs. They offer many benefits our customers have come to appreciate, such as cost savings and customization.
In addition to manufacturing our products, such as custom conveyor belt drives, we carry a wide assortment of terminal equipment from industry-leading brands. We can provide you with new, used, and rebuilt components and build whatever you need to your specifications.
West River’s structure comes in CEMA B, C, D, E, and E+ and can be used for longwall and room-and-pillar operations. If conveyor specifications are provided, we can provide engineered idlers upon request.
Abrasive materials, heavy loads, and environmental factors can all contribute to conveyor belt failure. West River Conveyors offers underground and surface mining conveyor belts that can withstand the rigors and prevent unplanned downtime.
“I would like to express my appreciation and gratitude for the exceptional support provided by Russ during a recent troubleshooting effort. His availability, technical expertise, and proactive approach were instrumental in resolving the issues efficiently and effectively. Russ’s dedication to fostering and maintaining strong, long lasting professional relationships surpasses the typical sales mentality I have grown used to dealing with elsewhere. His commitment to his customers and consistent follow through has built a foundation of trust that I professionally continue to rely on. Having someone so dependable and relationship focused adds tremendous value, and it speaks volumes about the culture and professionalism of West River as a whole.

“I have had excellent success with everything I have purchased from West River. The service is great! I have called after hours and received the same top-notch service. The pulleys that I bought have been top-quality and are doing very well. I recently had some alignment work done on our slope belt, with the same high quality workmanship. I would recommend West River to anyone needing gearboxes, pulleys, alignment, or other conveyor components.”
– Steve Bjork, Preparation Plant Maintenance Chief
“West River is a friend to the mining industry, supplying quality components at a competitive price!”
– Barry Tackett, Operations Manager, Mountain Aggregates
“From the beginning, we wanted to standardize our conveyor equipment. We knew we wanted to minimize the number of spare parts and pulleys. This has been the only time in my career I’ve been able to accomplish this task. The good relationship that we’ve developed with West River is attributed to the genuinely good people that run the company. In my experience, many vendors are primarily interested in maximizing their profit margin but I truly believe the team at West River has the best interest of the customer at heart.”
– Brad Rigsby, General Manager, Black Panther Mining

All phone calls and emails are replied to in a timely manner and deadlines are always met even when they may seem unachievable.”
