The Model #2580T24FB Telescoping Cantilevered Extendible Conveyor consists essentially of a fixed main section, extending telescoping boom section, a conveyor belt and drive, a telescoping boom drive, controls and other appurtenances. The Conveyor is designed for installation on a truck loading and/or unloading dock. The Conveyor is complete and ready for operation upon delivery, requiring only anchoring of the fixed main section to the dock, or mounting on proper floor track and attaching holddown devices, and connection to an electrical supply outlet by the proper personnel. Throughout this manual the Model #2580T24FB Telescoping Cantilevered Extendible Conveyor will be referred to as the Conveyor
The retracted length of the conveyor is 25 feet 3 inches while the extended length, beyond the fixed base main section is 55 feet 6 inches. The overall height from the dock measured vertically to the top of the load carrying surface 42-1/2". All parts of the conveyor are standard commercial products except for such modifications as were necessary to conform to the requirements of the design specifications. The component parts of any one conveyor are interchangeable with corresponding parts on any other conveyor of the same type
The design and construction of the conveyor ensures safe, efficient and economical operation under normal operating service conditions and meets the applicable safety requirement of the American National Standard Association publication B-20.1 and the National Electrical Code, publication NFPA No. 70, 1984. All exposed parts of the Conveyor are guarded to prevent injury to personnel. Sharp corners, edges, braces and trim are rounded to prevent injury to employees or damage to clothing or the product. The Conveyor is grounded to prevent shock to personnel operating the conveyor, and the forward end of the conveyor has a safety plate so movement of the boom will stop automatically if the boom contacts the operator, product or any resisting object.
The conveyor requires only one operator and utilizes pushbutton controls for all motion functions. The conveyor is capable of transporting all size product within the designed size of the conveyor. The full load speed of the belt at all extensions of the telescoping boom in either the load and/or unload direction is 90 feet plus or minus 5 feet per minute. The extending and retracting speed of the telescoping boom is approximately 30 feet per minute at all boom extensions with the belt stopped or running while continuously loaded. The operator is able to stop the boom extension or retraction at any intermediate position. A brake on the telescoping boom drive holds this position against the reactive force of loads on the belt. IT IS RECOMMENDED TO RUN THE BELT WHEN EXTENDING OR RETRACTING THE CONVEYOR BOOMS TO PROMOTE BELT TRACKING.
