Abstract: The present invention is directed to a conveyor assembly and carrier for use with a conveyor wherein the carrier includes a frame having a longitudinal axis, a first pair of load wheels rotatably coupled to the frame, and a first pair of stabilizer wheels positioned laterally outward of the first pair of load wheels and rotatably coupled to the frame. The conveyor includes the carrier, a drive, and a stabilizer track having first and second channels spaced from one another. The first pair of stabilizer wheels are disposable for movement within the channels.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for monitoring chain pull of a conveyor drive that includes a conveyor drive having a fixed frame, a moveable frame, a spring assembly and a sensor assembly. The moveable frame supports a motor and is biased against the fixed frame by the spring assembly to oppose a force generated by the conveyor drive chain pull. The sensor assembly can be installed or removed without disassembly of the spring assembly and preferably without substantial interruption to the operation of the conveyor drive.

Abstract: An improved conveyor track system is provided wherein the track segments are provided with longitudinal channels of T-shaped cross-section which are offset from the centerline of the track and which accept rectangular splice bars that are used to secure the track segments together. The system is provided with a series of yokes which are connected to the track segments by means of bolts and rectangular connectors disposed in the longitudinal channels of the track segments, and whose position on the track segments is adjustable in both a horizontal and vertical direction.
