Disclosed herein is a conveyor system that includes: a plurality of elongate rib elements coupled in a spaced transverse configuration atop a pair of chassis rails, each of the rib elements defining an elongate through opening; a planar support element coupled atop the rib elements, for supporting a portion of the conveyor belt assembly; a conveyor belt assembly having a conveyor belt, a plurality of transverse belt support elements coupled across a plurality substantively parallel lengths of conveyor chains, and the conveyor belt; whereby the planar support element is sized to enable a path for the conveyor belt system when formed in continuous loop configuration being returned through the apertures defined in each rib element; and a pair of transverse axles operating about each end of the conveyor assembly, each axle having a gear for engaging a respective chain, wherein one axle is driven to move the conveyor belt assembly.

The apparatus is related to cargo transport systems, that use rail track structure as main transport for continuous hauling of lumpy and loose cargoes over distances of increased length. The apparatus is based on the task of creating a suspended-type cargo transport complex with the possibility of its use over significant distances of about 1,000 km and more. The claimed cargo transport complex, installed on supports above ground surface, consists of two strandscargo strand and return strand, which form track structure. The cargo strand is equipped by a loading drum, whereas the return strandby an unloading drum. Alternatively, loading-unloading devices may include bypass rollers instead of the drums for both loading and unloading. Both strands are fixed in load-bearing carcasses installed on each of the supports.

Alternatively, loading-unloading devices may include bypass rollers instead of the drums for both loading and unloading. Both strands are fixed in load-bearing carcasses installed on each of the supports. The track structure includes rail cords, which are prestressed and tensioned with longitudinal tension force F.sub.R, N, which may contain prestressed load-bearing elements. The form-shaping basis for both strands of the cargo transport complex is represented by bogies resting on the rail cords, whereby both strands are equipped with drive mechanisms. For resting on the rail cords, the bogies are equipped with support wheels that interact with the rolling surface of the rail cords and are positioned along the track structure with a pitch L, m. The bogies accommodate a cargo-handling belt, which is tensioned with longitudinal tension force F.sub.G, N, whereby the bogies and the cargo-handling belt accommodated therein feature a grooved profile of depth H, m, and width S, m of the load belt placed therein made with a grooved profile with a depth of H, m, and a width of S, m. The cargo may be distributed on the cargo-handling belt in the cargo strand of the transport complex.

A chain link for a plate link chain of a chain conveyor, having two disk-shaped side walls that are spaced apart from one another in parallel in a transverse direction of the chain link and fixedly connected to one another. The side walls each include a rabbet having a force transmission surface oriented essentially perpendicularly with respect to a longitudinal direction of the chain link, and the force transmission surface is designed and provided for the direct transmission of force to a conveyor plate of the chain conveyor. A kit comprising such a chain link and a conveyor plate, and a chain conveyor having a plurality of such kits are also provided.
