Conveyor Trucks Engineered To Amaze

After working extensively in construction, it was a natural step to get into the business of offering high-quality conveyor trucks. In 1998, CAD Northwest started the materials placement phase of our business in Salem, Oregon, while we were subdividing land and putting in utilities. When we found these trucks, they were a new idea and not well known. However, these trucks saved us so much time and effort that we bought two. As our business continued to grow, we added more equipment to serve our customers' needs more efficiently.

Specifications

The conveyor is 20 feet long and folds up against the truck while transporting material from the rock source. When we are on-site, the conveyor moves horizontally and vertically to maximize the throwing distance and has a variable high-speed conveyor, so we can either drop the material off the end of the conveyor or speed it up and shoot the material up to 125 feet from the back of the truck.

Limitations

In many cases, we have thrown materials more than 140 feet. Not all rock can be shot that far, however. Naturally, throwing uphill creates more restrictions compared to doing the same downhill. Sometimes rocks roll and bounce on the belts and cannot be thrown as far. A few examples include:

• Crushed Rock

• Sand

• Large Rock

• Round Rock

New Fleets

We have recently added our newest stone slinger conveyor trucks, which have significant upgrades over previous models. The new, wide-track conveyor system enables the operator to deliver materials much faster than before, while decreasing the mess that plagues other brands. The operators can accurately offload in three to five minutes for some applications. Additionally, there have been several upgrades in the hydraulic remote drive systems, giving these machines more power for longer distances. They are regarded as the best high-tech machines on the market.

Operators

Any piece of equipment is only as good as the operator. Our operators are trained to place the materials quickly and smoothly to make your job easier and more profitable. When we say we place material to grade with little or no hand work or additional equipment, we mean it.

Remote Control

Sidewalk grade is a snap with our conveyor trucks. Materials are remotely placed in the forms while the operator drives the truck from a remote control. Shoulder rock can also be expertly placed by our automatic conveyor trucks.
