Steel & HDPE Rollers & Idlers for Peak Performance

Steel tube rollers are the most common types of idlers that you’ll find on conveyors in the mining industry because they are designed for heavyweight applications. However, HDPE rollers are becoming increasingly popular in harsh, high-moisture environments due to their corrosion resistance capabilities. WRC offers both steel and HDPE idlers and all of our idlers are designed to meet or exceed the load limits established by CEMA.

If your conveyor is working in demanding applications and needs to conform to CEMA standards, West River can provide:

Industry-leading idler brands with West River’s frame workmanship
Idlers and conveyor structures that are ideal for harsh mining environments
Idlers that are best for underground conveyor applications
Idlers that utilize the best ball-bearing technology
Idlers that have low Total Indicated Runout (TIR)
Idlers that have superior sealing systems

“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

“West River’s conveyor systems have given us a great level of reliability. In the years that we have been using them as our supplier, we have not had a single breakdown, no quality issues, and no under-design problems. West River’s dedication to excellence in customer service is exceptional. All phone calls and emails are replied to in a timely manner and deadlines are always met even when they may seem unachievable.”
