Superior Industries has introduced a new conveyor mobility option – Radial Travel Tracks. When applied with the company’s TeleStacker^® telescoping radial stacking conveyor, it allows high-capacity radial stockpiling in applications, such as low pressure soils, sand or wet clay, where maximum flotation and traction is required. It is a particularly suitable and cost-effective mobility option for gold and copper heap leach operations. The tracks can be retrofitted onto existing conveyors and provide versatility for site to site operation.

The company says, “When combined with the new track-mounted Mobile Pivot Base conveyor mobility option, producers realise the ultimate in mobility with the combination of free-ranging onsite and transfer point mobility, as well as radial travel capability – all while reducing the need for haul trucks and loaders, and additional labour and material handling.”

They are engineered for easy, simple bolt-on installation and consist of two 609 mm steel tracks on each side of the conveyor, which attach directly to the FD axle radial fold-down arms, and are easy to remove for road portability. The system is designed to reuse existing planetary drives and is equipped with hydraulic hoses and fitting connections.

Superior Industries also offers non-powered travel tracks for use on short stackers, jump or grasshopper conveyors. The tracks can be bolted on right over the standard tyre hub when flotation and traction is needed.

Headquartered in Morris, Minnesota, Superior Industries designs and fabricates a full line of portable and stationary conveying equipment including telescoping conveyors, truck unloading systems, feed systems, and design-build conveyor systems; and a complete line of idlers, pulleys and other conveyor components.
