Engineered Overland Conveyor

Made-to-Order Material Handling

While haul trucks can bring flexibility to transport applications, the short and long-term economic implications are causing operators to seek alternatives. In many cases, engineered overland conveyors (sometimes called “groundline”) are the most cost-effective method of transporting bulk material to processing plants or loading facilities. 

Unstable fuel prices, permitting regulations, labor training and equipment maintenance all hit the pocketbook. As a result, more and more operations conduct feasibility studies into the use of overland conveyors for long-distance transport.

Calculations projecting the use of conveyors combined with haul trucks — or conveyors replacing haul trucks — support a dramatic return on investment following installation.

Features

Engineered Overland Conveyor by Superior Industries
01.

Superior Components

Perhaps our most unique feature is conveyor components manufacturing. All the idlers, pulleys, scrapers and accessories are built by Superior.

02.

Custom Engineering

From channel depth to mechanical systems, every detail is based on specifications of your application like material characteristics and capacity.

03.

In-House Engineering

100% of your new equipment is designed within the same company that manufactures the overland conveyor. Right here at Superior.

04.

Total Package

As manufacturers of entire processing plants, a conveyor is never an independent project. It’s designed to work with the rest of your equipment.

05.

Drive Design

Be confident that the engine of your conveyor — the PT components — are specced, assembled and tested all within Superior.

Personal Ingredients

From head to tail, our overland conveyors are 100% Superior.

While most conveyor manufacturers outsource parts production, Superior uses our own ingredients. All the idlers, pulleys, scrapers and accessories – basically the operating components of your conveyor – are designed and built right here.
