Floor supports are optional equipment on most conveyors. Most supports have a specific adjustment range. Permanent supports have a pivoting connection plate where the support attaches to the conveyor section.
Some things to consider when selecting floor supports:
- Supports are an option on all conveyors.
- Permanent floor supports are intended to be lagged to the floor.
- Temporary floors supports are portable and can be adjusted without tools.
- Consider adding knee braces with floor support on free standing conveyor sections.
- The amount of adjustment in the floor support is dependent on the height of the support.
- Supports are required at each location where bed sections join. Supports are commonly supplied on 10 ft. centers. 5 ft. centers is common to achieve extra load capacity on gravity conveyors.
- Curved conveyors require a support at each end and a single center leg on the outside radius of the curve.
- Sharing supports is easily achieved when the two joining conveyors have the same frame depth.
- Consider the drive depth below the frame when determining the minimum height of your conveyor.
- Be aware that replacement supports are specified by the height of the SUPPORT itself. Options listed in the online store for a particular conveyor are generally specified to the top of the conveying surface.
