Miniveyor™ Plug & Go, while small and lightweight, are very powerful. Standard conveyors are large and bulky, with motors mounted outside the frame. The Miniveyor™ Plug & Go uses powerful 370 and 550 watt motors mounted inside the end rollers and specifically designed and manufactured for the application. With a high point load movement of 130 Kg the Miniveyor™ Plug & Go can move anything that is thrown at it.
Miniveyor™ Plug & Go are often used in rental applications where operators are not familiar with conveyors, so every part of the system has been designed with safety in mind. The drive units are contained within the frame offering NO pinch or nip points and the belt edges are protected under guard.
Manufactured in 3 and 4.5 metre lengths and weighing only 73 Kg, they can be carried into position and set-up in minutes. A composite core sandwiched between stainless steel plates means they are structurally strong while light and durable. The units stack and lock for easy transport and no special transport is required.
With the ability to increase the distance and the direction of the conveyor by linking additional units. Easy to put together and to create the best solution for your needs.
Miniveyor™ Plug & Go are built for a tough and demanding environment and are corrosion free with a stainless steel and aluminium construction. The drive motors are sealed to IP65 standard. They couldnt be built any tougher!

In all these applications Miniveyor™ Plug & Go is an ideal solution to difficult excavation or conveying problems.
