    Abstract: A modular conveyor is provided that is assembled from components shipped as a kit to form a conveyor of variable configuration. The conveyor has side rails on opposing sides of the conveyor belt, with holes in the side rails adapted to allow mounting of supports at various locations. Holes in the ends of the side rails allow connections to end supports that contain hoppers, chutes or belt drive units comprising motors, gearboxes and drive shafts. Adjustable length legs have a U-shaped bracket that may be locked in a vertical position for supporting a horizontal conveyor, or angled to support an inclined conveyor segment. The legs are preferably pinned together for increased stability.
