Extendible fences for extendible conveyors are disclosed. An example conveyor includes a fence assembly having a plurality of channel segments including at least a base channel segment, an intermediate channel segment, and a distal channel segment. The fence assembly is adjustable in a lengthwise direction such that the fence assembly is longer in the lengthwise direction when a main conveyor assembly is in a fully extended configuration than when the main conveyor assembly is in a fully retracted configuration. The intermediate channel segment is interposed between the base channel segment and the distal channel segment with respect to the lengthwise direction. Each channel segment of the plurality of channel segments includes sidewalls extending upward from a bottom panel. The intermediate channel segment to move in translation in the lengthwise direction relative to an intermediate conveyor section. The bottom panel of the intermediate channel segment is positioned between an upper portion of a conveyor belt of the main conveyor assembly and an upper load bearing surface of the intermediate conveyor section. The upper portion of the conveyor belt being interposed between the sidewalls with reference to a lateral direction, where the lateral direction is horizontal and perpendicular to the lengthwise direction.

A container-guiding apparatus for guiding containers along an arcuate path includes a concave guide-region and a guide belt that forms a resting region for containers to laterally guide containers along the path. The guide belt, which is driven to endlessly circulate, applies feed forces to the containers to force them along the transport direction.

A cable stacker comprising a belt conveyor (21) for conveying the cable along a conveying direction, a discharge device for dropping a cable into a collection tub (241), and a guide element (50) for damping a meandering movement of the cable that is to be put down.

A cable stacker (20) having a first belt conveyor (21) for conveying the cable along a conveying direction X, the first belt conveyor (21) being designed to receive a belt, and the first belt conveyor (21) having a conveyor path with an input path portion and an output path portion. A main frame (23) is provided on which the first belt conveyor (21) is arranged, a counter barrier (40a) being provided for guiding the cable. In the region of the input path portion, the first belt conveyor (21) has a first drop barrier (31a) for preventing uncontrolled slipping of the cable from the conveyor path (22), the first drop barrier (31a) being movable relative to the counter barrier (40a) at least into an active position.

A material transfer system includes one or more of the following features: (i) a rotatable conveyor assembly is configured to enable adjustment of a radial position of the item guide surface of each item pocket for adjusting pocket depth; (ii) the rotatable conveyor assembly is configured to enable adjustment of an arcuate offset distance between the item guide surface and the item push surface of each item pocket; and/or (iii) the guide surface is formed, at least in part, by at least one flexible rail that is adjustable between multiple orientations and the flexible is configured to flex in a manner such that, in each one of the multiple orientations, the guide surface follows a substantially arcuate path with a set radius, wherein the set radius varies between the multiple orientations.

A conveyance facility for conveying a bag along a conveyance path includes a carrier including a traveling wheel traveling on the conveyance path, and a support supporting the bag being suspended, the carrier conveying the bag along the conveyance path; and a traveling rail provided along the conveyance path, and supporting the traveling wheel so as to be travelable. The traveling rail includes an accumulation belt causing the traveling wheel to travel in frictional contact with the support; and a tracking conveyance belt being meshed with the support to thereby cause the traveling wheel to travel.

A conveyor includes two fences located on two sides of a platform. A fence-adjusting apparatus includes a primary driving unit, a secondary driving unit and a transmission. The primary driving unit includes two primary movable elements, two primary tracks and a primary driving element. Each primary movable element is connected to a corresponding one of the fences. The primary tracks movably support the primary movable elements. The primary driving element is operable to move the primary movable elements along the primary tracks. The secondary driving unit includes two secondary movable elements, two secondary tracks and a secondary driving element. Each secondary movable element is connected to a corresponding one of the fences. The secondary tracks movably support the secondary movable elements. The secondary driving element is operable to move the secondary movable elements along the secondary tracks. The transmission operatively connects the primary driving unit to the secondary driving unit.

Conveyor apparatus, systems and methods are provided. In some embodiments a rail is supported in spaced-apart relation from an idler assembly of the conveyor by a bracket mounted to the conveyor. In some embodiments the bracket is mounted (e.g., removably mounted such as by a clamp) to an idler assembly of the conveyor (e.g., an end stand thereof). In some embodiments a retractable idler support is slidably mounted to a base frame and advanced between a first and second position.
