Our Heavyweight Sidewall Cleat Options

When it comes to steep-incline conveying, sidewall cleats are crucial for maintaining efficiency, reducing material rollback, and optimizing throughput. Motion Conveyance Solutions offers various heavyweight sidewall cleats, each designed to enhance belt performance in demanding industrial applications like mining, steel manufacturing, cement production and recycling.

Whether your operation requires superior load capacity, extreme durability or specialized cleat configurations, our DUROWALL™ cleat solutions provide the reliability and strength needed to keep your materials moving.

The Importance of Choosing the Right Cleat

Cleats help secure material on steep-incline conveyors, preventing product rollback and ensuring smooth transport. However, not all cleats are created equal—factors such as cleat height, material composition and attachment method significantly impact overall belt performance.

T-Cleats: The Standard for Lightweight Incline Conveying

We offer several cleat styles to accommodate different applications, ensuring that your conveyor system runs efficiently with minimal maintenance and downtime. T-cleats are among the most popular choices for steep-incline conveyors, providing high material retention while maintaining flexibility for various applications.

T-Cleat Specifications

Cleat Height	Minimum Pulley Diameter
1″	4″
2″	6″
3″	10″
4″	12″
5″	18″
6″	18″

These cleats are available in various rubber compounds, ensuring durability in abrasive environments and resistance to oil, heat and impact damage.

S-Cleats: Enhanced Material Retention for Steep Inclines

For operations that require maximum material containment, S-cleats (also known as scoop cleats) are a great choice. These cleats feature a curved design, allowing them to scoop and carry materials more effectively, reducing material fallback even at extreme inclines.

S-Cleat Specifications

Cleat Height	Minimum Pulley Diameter
3″	8″
5″	16″
7″	16″
9″	20″

S-cleats are ideal for handling fine or loose materials such as sand, grains and powders, where material loss can be a significant issue.

Super Heavy-Duty T-Cleats: Built for Extreme Conditions

For applications requiring extra reinforcement, super heavy-duty T-cleats provide superior structural integrity and wear resistance. They are designed to withstand high-impact loading zones, making them ideal for industries like aggregate, cement and foundry operations.

Super Heavy-Duty T-Cleat Specifications

Cleat Height	Minimum Pulley Diameter
2″	6″
3″	8″
4″	10″

Built with reinforced rubber compounds, these cleats extend the life of your conveyor belt and reduce maintenance costs, making them an investment in long-term efficiency.

Bolted Cleats: Maximum Durability for High-Impact Applications

For operations requiring the highest level of reinforcement, bolted cleats provide secure attachment and long-lasting durability. These cleats are mechanically fastened to the belt, making them ideal for heavy, coarse materials that put high stress on traditional cleat designs.

Bolted Cleat Specifications

Cleat Height	Minimum Pulley Diameter
4.5″	14″
5″	14″
6″	14″
7″	14″
9″	14″

Bolted cleats resist extreme material impact and minimize premature failure, making them ideal for conveyors handling rock, coal and construction debris.
