As mining and bulk material handling operations across Africa continue to expand, ensuring the safe maintenance of conveyor systems remains a top priority. Supporting this need, ASGCO has expanded its Belt Lifter product line with a new model designed to safely service larger conveyor belts used in demanding industrial applications.
The latest Belt Lifter is engineered to handle conveyor belts ranging from 48 to 72 inches (1,200 to 1,800 mm), providing maintenance teams with a reliable solution for lifting belts during routine inspections, idler replacement and conveyor component maintenance.
Designed for strength, durability and stability, the unit accommodates conveyor stringer widths from 56.5 inches (1,435 mm) to 86.5 inches (2,197 mm), making it suitable for large conveyor installations commonly found in mining, quarrying, cement production and bulk material handling facilities.
Weighing 47.2 kg (104 lb), the Belt Lifter features a compact yet robust design with a closed height of 216 mm and a maximum lifting height of 482 mm. Its rugged construction enables dependable performance in harsh operating environments where reliability and safety are critical.
The equipment is designed to improve workplace safety by securely elevating conveyor belts, allowing maintenance personnel to safely access idlers, rollers and other conveyor components without unnecessary risk. By creating a stable working platform, the Belt Lifter also helps reduce maintenance time and improve operational efficiency.
For Africa’s mining sector, where conveyor systems are essential for transporting ore, coal, aggregates and other bulk materials, reliable maintenance equipment plays a vital role in minimising downtime and extending equipment life. As mines continue to increase production and modernise operations, specialised maintenance tools such as ASGCO’s expanded Belt Lifter range can help improve safety standards while supporting more efficient maintenance practices.
The introduction of the larger Belt Lifter further strengthens ASGCO’s portfolio of conveyor maintenance solutions, providing mining companies and industrial operators with equipment designed to meet the demands of high-capacity material handling operations.
