Dirt Conveyor Systems | Heavy-Duty Dirt Handling Equipment for Tough Applications

Maximize Productivity & Reduce Labor Costs by Up to 70% on Your Construction Sites

Dirt conveyors deliver unmatched efficiency for construction projects that require moving dry soil, aggregate, sand, gravel, wet slurries, and mud. Our custom-engineered dirt conveyor systems feature narrow widths and compact designs specifically created to access confined spaces where traditional equipment simply cannot operate.

For enhanced mobility in challenging construction environments, we mount our dirt conveyor systems on rugged wheeled undercarriages, allowing quick repositioning as your project evolves. When your construction site requires moving material over longer distances, our dirt conveyor systems can be configured in cascading arrangements, transferring material seamlessly from one conveyor to the next. Strategic cleats and buckets positioned along the belts prevent material rollback, ensuring efficient operation even on steep inclines.

A high-performance dirt conveyor system from West River Conveyors will move 30-50 tons per hour—significantly more than conventional methods using wheelbarrows or trucks—while reducing labor requirements by up to 70% and slashing your operating costs.
