'''Portable Conveyor''' is any type of transportable conveyor, usually having supports which provide mobility.If you own a construction or storage business, or any business which can benefit from a solution for safely moving material along an incline, a portable conveyor which prevents items from rolling back down could be useful.Portable conveyor is extremely convenient and can easily move boxes, cases and cartons up inclines. | |||
The portable conveyors, sometimes called Grasshoppers, comprise the bulk of the equipment making up the pad building system. Belt width varies from system to system due to design capacity variations.The length also varies, but the standard is 38 meters (125 feet) long. These [[Conveyors]] are installed end to end to form a continuous line from the [[Overland Conveyors]] discharge along specified lines to the start of each cell or panel. | |||
Portable conveyors are comprised of field bolted prefabricated truss sections and a head and tail section. One end is elevated by struts from an axle equipped with large, high flotation tires. The [[Conveyor Belts]] are driven by an electric motor that is serviced from a 4,160 volt trailing cable through a step-down transformer. The portable conveyors are moved around the pads by the use of a large fork truck or front end loader. The feed hoppers are extra wide and long to reduce spillage. Portable conveyors used to transport material up ramps are equipped with motors and gear reducers with higher ratings or dual drives. | |||
