DURATRANS XD® CONVEYOR

Installation

Preparing the Pit
18) The 1” higher and 1” lower dimensions should be held as possible. But DO NOT install a
conveyor section going downhill.

Note: If passenger side goes downhill, set that conveyor section level or just uphill a little from the
elevation setting of the previous section.

19) This map should help you see the floor and conveyor layout throughout the tunnel.

Setting the Conveyor

1) Starting with the entrance section, lift the section to the elevation that fits your application.
With the transit check both sides of the tire track to insure the section is level. A small level
may help.
Note: The entrance section should be away from the entrance wall 6 inches, half of the 1 extra
foot.
2) Insure that the section is on the string line, tack legs to the conveyor and down the angle on
the shelf, in addition to the top of the driver sidewall.

Note: Only tack-weld sections into place.
3) Move on to the next section and repeat steps 1 and 2 while making sure the string is still in
place throughout the conveyor install.
4) Periodically, get out of the pit, look down the sections that have been tack-welded to insure
the conveyor is straight.
5) When you get to the exit section remove the string and place the exit down into the pit and
level it.

Note: After the conveyor is tacked into place, the area for Grating can be measured and the
Grating can be ordered or fabricated. An angle must be welded onto the passenger side of
the conveyor sections to support the Grating .Grating is field supplied.
