Portable Transfer Conveyor Components

Conveyors are critical pieces of equipment for the heavy construction industry.

Conveyor Structure

The structure of a portable transfer conveyor typically comprises a rigid fabricated steel framework, along with: 

  • Top and return idlers
  • Brackets
  • Stands
  • Spreader bars
  • All associated hardware

Intermediate sections can be skid-mounted for mobility and durability. West River Conveyors can design and build your structure from scratch or provide parts as needed.
