Irock Crushers says it builds high-capacity conveyors with heavy-duty components and channel frames for durability and longevity. The tracked T-8048 conveyor features a 48-inch-wide belt and stretches 80 feet in length. It can stockpile material up to 33 feet, 2 inches for more stacking before relocation. With the hydrauli- cally adjustable tail section, operators can reduce the drop height of material onto the conveyor to lesson wear and minimize spillage. The unit comes standard with a Deutz TD Tier 3 engine. This thermostatically controlled unit comes standard with hydraulic oil cooler to further prevent overheating.

The 36-inch x 130-foot SDX-130 stacker has a fully automated and flexible control system to keep control of the material quality. The SDX-130 also has an onboard diesel hydraulic unit to make it more portable and keeps the setup down to just 15 minutes, according to the manufacturer. McCloskey International | www.mccloskeyinternational.com KPI-JCI and Astec Mobile Screens' portable tow-behind conveyor is said to eliminate the costly double-handling of material and is built as a match for the FT line of continuous crushing and tracking impactors. The tow-behind conveyor is constructed with a hitch that can attach to a track plant and travel behind the plant as it moves. A bolt-on hopper side wall allows the conveyor to rotate 180 degrees to discharge material to either side or rotate 90 degrees to transport inline. The manufacturer says producers can achieve more than $1 per ton savings by eliminating haul trucks and replacing them with the tow-behind conveyor.
