Telescopic Belt Conveyor

Introduction

A Telescopic Belt Conveyor is a retractable conveyor system composed of nested belt sections that extend into trucks, containers, or warehouse zones to significantly speed up loading/unloading processes. Light, mobile, and adjustable, these conveyors offer ergonomic and efficient material handling solutions across industries.

Specifications

• Length (Extended): Typically 6–18 m (20–60 ft); up to 24 m in heavy-duty models
• Length (Retracted): Usually half the extended length (e.g., 3–12 m)
• Belt Widths: 400–1,200 mm (common 600–800 mm)
• Load Capacity: 100–500 kg/m (standard 50–100 kg/m for light models, up to 500 kg/m heavy-duty)
• Belt Speed: 0.3–1.5 m/s (18–90 m/min)
• Motor Power: 0.75–7.5 kW, typically 1.5–5.5 kW
• Sections (Stages): 2–4 telescoping stages
• Frame Material: Aluminum, MS, or stainless steel
• Height Adjustment: Manual, hydraulic, or electric between ~800–1,200 mm
• Mobility: Mounted on wheels or tracks; some models offer ride-on platforms
• Safety Features: Emergency stops, anti-pinch guards, anti-collision sensors, LED lighting

Ideal Applications & Industries
