Transloaders play a critical role in modern bulk material handling by facilitating the movement of product between trucks, railcars, storage systems, and processing points. For industries that deal with high volumes and limited space, they help reduce manual handling, speed up transfer, and keep operations moving efficiently. Cambelt’s high-incline transloaders are especially valuable in applications where steep elevation changes, compact layouts, or [...]

If you’re running sidewall (pocket) conveyors on steep angles—even up to near-vertical lifts—you know the problems are different and more urgent than on flatter systems. Cleat pull-off, pocket bridging, and splice failures aren’t just nuisance repairs; they stop production. This article walks through engineer-tested fixes for high-incline sidewall belts, real-world installation outcomes, and a clear checklist you can use when asking for [...]

Selecting the correct sidewall conveyor belt is the single most important decision for steep-incline bulk handling—get it wrong, and you’ll see chronic spillage, cleat failure, frequent downtime, and ballooning maintenance costs. Sidewall belts work by containing material in pockets formed between vertical sidewalls and cleats, so designs must be chosen around material behavior, incline, belt carcass flexibility, cleat attachment, and transition [...]
