The Problem: Heavy Loads, Confined or Hard to Reach Spaces
A confined or difficult-to-reach space is a problem when you need to deliver and/or remove a lot of material. Limekiln refits, for example, require hauling 200 tonnes of lime rock out of the kiln before the repair work can even begin, which makes the job difficult. The extra downtime and labour can be frustrating and costly.
Reducing the cost and increasing productivity are the goals. Workers, wheelbarrows, skid steers and other options are not practical in all situations.
The Solution
Convey it Systems came up with a workable solution to the problem of moving heavy loads in and out of confined spaces. Workers should not break their backs and twist their ankles using wheelbarrows to haul tonnes of materials. It can be done much faster and with increased safety.
If you have an area that is difficult to reach and which requires removal or delivery of a payload, you now have a portable, modular solution. Our conveyors have been operated at lengths from 20 to 320 feet, pushing as much as 2,000 lbs. when loaded.
Proven Situations
- Moving in new seats into stadium stands, up a steep incline
- Removing renovation debris from a hospital basement project up to the street level and directly into disposal bins
- Moving sandbags up and down a steep slope
- Moving materials between 2 homes in a residential area when landscaping the backyard
Experience in Tough Industrial Conditions
Convey-It conveyors were made specifically for assisting in the refit of limekilns and coal dryers, to haul out waste and fire brick to speed up repairs. Then, with no adjustments, they can be used to push the new brick back into the kiln to be set in place. Since Convey-It systems can carry materials right through functioning pneumatic rings, bricks can be laid at several locations in the kiln at the same time.
This time-tested industrial experience can be used on any job requiring moving material in or out of a confined space.
Reduce Labour Time and Labour Costs
In residential and medium-sized contracts, you need options.
A savings of 25% or more was achieved in kraft pulp mills by using our conveyors. In addition, this reduces expensive downtime and labour costs, and helps control worker injury rates and insurance.
Ease of Assembly
Assembly of our conveyors, adjustment of their length and disassembly can all be done very quickly. For example, a 100-foot system can easily be assembled inside a rotary limekiln by a 2-person crew in 30 minutes using only a wrench and pliers.

Convey-It systems are hydraulically powered and function reliably, even under harsh industrial conditions. Variable speed, forward and reverse controls and emergency shutoff are standard features.
No-Stall
The No-Stall feature ensures that when the loaded conveyor needs to be stopped, it can be restarted again. Other conveyor systems can require loaded conveyors to be cleaned off because of heavy loads. Convey it Systems are engineered to handle many requirements.
