Custom Conveyor Frames and Structures
Send the conveyor layout, loads, mounting interfaces, material, finish and quantity. We will identify the fabricated items, inspection requirements and exclusions in the quotation.
Load case
Belt, material, equipment and maintenance loads supplied by the buyer
Interfaces
Roller centres, mounting points, adjacent steelwork and installation envelope
Fabrication
Material, sections, joints, finish and supplied condition
Acceptance
Dimensions, records, packing and project-specific inspection points
Product and supply boundary
Define the Frame, Bracket or Structure Required
Show where the item sits in the conveyor and the interfaces it must support. The quotation will state whether the supply covers idler frames, brackets, larger fabricated structures or a combination.
Idler support
Idler Frames
When sourcing an idler frame manufacturer, provide the roller arrangement, trough or return position, mounting centres, support points and project load information. The quotation will identify the frame, brackets and any supplied assembly items.
Mounting and adjustment
Conveyor Brackets
Send the mating dimensions, hole pattern, adjustment range, material and finish. The quotation will list the bracket geometry, supplied parts, finish and exclusions.
Drawing-led steelwork
Conveyor Structures
Share the conveyor layout, spans, support locations, loads and connection details. We will identify the frames, supports and fabricated sections included in the quotation.
From Conveyor Layout to Fabricated Structure
We manufacture conveyor frames and structures for different belt widths, with design support available. Share the conveyor layout, loading and installation interfaces so we can define the fabrication drawings and assembly scope.
Design and fabrication inputs
- Structure
- Idler frames, support brackets, trusses and custom welded structures
- Layout
- Belt width, roller centres, trough angle and mounting interfaces
- Load path
- Design loads, support spans and connection details
- Materials and finish
- Plate and section grades, thicknesses and corrosion protection
- Final checks
- Critical hole positions, straightness, flatness and delivered assembly weight
Project inputs
Information Required to Quote the Structure
Send the latest drawing or layout with the information below. If the design is still developing, we will list the missing dimensions and interfaces that must be confirmed before quotation.
Position and duty
Show the conveyor location, belt direction, material handled and the function of the frame or structure.
Loads and design basis
Provide the applied loads, operating conditions and the buyer-approved design basis for the quoted structure.
Mounting and adjacent interfaces
Identify roller centres, anchor points, hole patterns, elevations, clearances and connections to existing steelwork.
Material and sections
State the material grade, plate thicknesses, profiles and any customer-controlled joint details.
Finish and environment
Specify the required finish and describe corrosion, abrasion, washdown or outdoor exposure where relevant.
Quantity and project stage
State the required quantity and note whether the layout is at concept, tender, approval or issued-for-manufacture stage.
You will receive a confirmed supply boundary, a list of open technical points and the information needed to complete the quotation.

Conveyor Structure Fabrication Requirements
We review the complete frame or structure against the supplied drawing. The quotation will list the material preparation, welding, supporting operations, finish, records and packing included for the project.
Material preparation
Cutting, blanking, drilling and section preparation are planned from the approved material and drawing.
Fit-up and welding
Fixtures, joint access and welding sequence are reviewed against the assembly geometry and requested records.
Post-weld operations
Machining, straightening, heat treatment or other supporting work is included only when the drawing or specification calls for it.
Finish and packing
The specified surface finish, identification, assembly condition and export packing are recorded in the quoted scope.
Acceptance plan
Agree the Frame Checks Before Production
Send the dimensions, inspection points and records required for acceptance. ROCKVANTA uses them to prepare a project-specific inspection plan.
Envelope and mounting points
Check the overall dimensions, elevations, hole patterns and interfaces identified on the approved reference.
Geometry
Confirm the straightness, squareness, spacing or alignment criteria that affect installation and roller position.
Material and fabrication records
Identify the certificates, weld records, NDT or other documents required for the quoted structure.
Finish and release
Agree the finish checks, identification, packing status and release records needed before shipment.

Five Manufacturing Bases for Drawing-Defined Structures
ROCKVANTA owns and operates five specialized manufacturing bases. We review the structure, material, interfaces, fabrication, finish and inspection requirements, identify the base suited to the quoted work and coordinate supporting processes internally.
The quotation review will confirm the proposed manufacturing base, available capacity, production timing, inspection requirements and supplied scope.
