Incline Conveyor

A cleated belt that lifts parts up to 45 degrees, into the gaylord, the grinder throat or the next machine. Welded frame, big pulleys, belt tracked before it ships.

Black LaRos straight incline conveyor with white cleated belt

What it does

Get parts up and over, without babysitting the belt

The 510 / 710 / 910 series inclines run at angles up to 45 degrees. Cleats are welded to the belt on the centers your parts need, so parts ride up instead of tumbling back.

Use one to fill a gaylord or tote, feed a granulator, or lift parts to a work station or the next process. Need a level load zone first? See the horizontal to incline. Need to clear an obstruction at the top? See the nose over.

Grinder opening tight? The ET series has a tubular discharge end for low-profile entry into a grinder throat.

Frame depth and drive size

The first digit of the model number is the frame depth. Bigger frames carry bigger internally mounted motors.

Incline conveyors we have built

Why LaRos

Why our inclines track and last

Ships ready to run

Fully assembled with the belt tracked, as big as fits in a dry van. You uncrate it, set it and add power. No week of assembly and belt tracking on your floor.

Welded C-channel frames

10 gauge steel channel, welded, with 3" x 2" tube cross bracing. Not T-slot aluminum extrusion. People stand on conveyors, so we build them to take it.

Bigger crowned pulleys

4-1/2" crowned pulleys at minimum, on 3/4" to 1-7/16" shafts. The bigger bend radius tracks better, carries heavier welded cleats and makes expensive belts last longer.

Heavier axles, bearings and stands

Larger axles and bearings than the light-duty lines, on sturdier stands. Usually Bodine gearmotors.

Smooth sides

Take-ups sit inside the frame, not hanging off the outside. No exposed spinning axles at the side of the conveyor.

Built to last decades

We regularly supply parts for LaRos machines 30 years old and more, from job and serial records going back to 1976.
