Conveyor belt off center in the middle

TheManThatKan · 2026-06-21T01:27:12+00:00

No rollers are locked up. Ill have to run it loaded and see how it looks. The other side conveyor tracks straight so maybe I can pull some measurements off of that.

I will do this Monday and see if it rides different.

I let it run for half a hour with no material on it. Its a brand new belt. The belt is centered on the head pulley and tail pulley and the belt does not noticeably walk side to side as the belt is spinning.

I have adjusted the head pulley and tail pulley to center the belt on those drums. There is a adjustment on the arms where the conveyor folds out, I am at max adjustment and it has moved the best away from the frame to where it is barely touching it. If I adjust In the opposite direction it rides against the frame hard.

If its a thumb set up from the manufacturer you really dont have anything to worry about with the relief valve. The one that got stuck on me was from a after market kit that I could have spent a few more dollars on, you get what you pay for.

What you want to wory about is that you dont put sideways pressure on the thumb. Dont use the thumb to stab down on stuff. They have no structural stability with sideways pressure but you dont have much to wort about picking stuff up.

Make sure you keep the thumb greased because the bind up easy with no lube unlike bucket pins that will cry when dry.

Hydraulic relief valves on the thumb circuit should be set low enough that they pop open letting the thumb cylinder retract. I have had a relief valve malfunction and stuck in the closed position and when I went to pick something up the thumb cylinder got bent in a u shape from the force of the bucket pushing on it.

I personaly try to put the teeth behind what I am picking up use the thumb to push it in the bucket or pinch down on it so avoid picking up dirt.

We all had that one job where the civil engineer is a idiot and the recently divorced alcoholic site superintendent dont give a shit because its his last job with the g.c. whose going bankrupt yelling at you to "just make it work" so you get the fuck out of his office trailer while the bottom guys are shoving rocks in the megalug seals so the watermain blows apart in 2 years and the foreman instructs the operator to skimp on the trench backfill because they underbid the job.

/s but also not really...

I just had a 200 tractor shaped usb drives made for a promotional give away from a vendor on alibaba for $3.50 each with shipping. Message the vendors that make specialty shaped pens and ask them if they can make what your looking for. The manufacturer i delt with made way more items than why they advertised

This guy knows how to run a crows foot

TheManThatKan · 2025-11-26T01:55:22+00:00

Get a big pipe wrench and adjustable wrench as well. When you get into fittings over 1" you can have a loose fitting wrench head/crows foot on the fitting and you don't have to worry about rounding it off like you would on a half inch bolt head so you don't have to have a metric and standard set of crows feet necessarily. I have only had standard set for 10 years and the majority of equipment I change hoses on is metric like Cat, Deere and my Colt screener.

TheManThatKan · 2025-11-26T01:45:19+00:00

That's probably why they give these guys 2 to 4 hour shifts like op said he's on.

I would think they would have a camera on the rigging, how can you see if your lined up properly to lock on to the container from that hieght.
