What is a dirt conveyor?

A dirt conveyor is a motorised belt conveyor designed to continuously transfer soil and other bulk materials.

What types of materials can be transported with a dirt conveyor?

You can use the dirt conveyor for a wide variety of materials such as soil, sand, gravel, small rubble and even waste. As the conveyor is equipped with a belt with chevrons, it is important that the product being transported is not sticky. For larger materials, the construction conveyor is more appropriate.

What lengths are available and how do you choose the right size?

Five lengths are available for purchase and hire: 6 m, 8 m, 10 m, 12 m and 14 m. The choice of length depends mainly on the distance to be covered and the required discharge height. As a general rule, we recommend not exceeding a 25° angle of inclination. For a 14 m conveyor at a 25° angle, the discharge height is 5.5 m. Our team is at your service to determine the most appropriate conveyor length for your needs.

Is the dirt conveyor easy to move around on a construction site?

Yes. The dirt conveyor is equipped with wheels, a drawbar and lifting rings. You can tow or lift the conveyor to move/reposition it easily.

Is training required to operate the dirt conveyor?

No. The dirt conveyor can be used immediately by your teams. Start-up instructions are provided with the equipment.
