Bedding Conveyors
The Felco Bedding Conveyor allows an excavator operator to control
when, where, and how much bedding material is placed in the trench
while bedding pipe.
 Mounted
between the tracks and attached to the carbody, the Felco Bedding
Conveyor taps into the excavator’s track drive circuit to
power the conveyor’s hydraulic motor. The 3 to 8 cubic yard
hopper is mounted on the rear of the conveyor, providing clearance
from the counterweight and allowing the excavator to move freely
along its tail swing arc. The standard Bedding Conveyor, delivering
one cubic yard of bedding material every 7 to 10 seconds, is easily
removed using quick disconnects on the hydraulic lines and pin connections
holding the conveyor to the carbody.
 Using
a loader to charge the hopper with bedding material, the conveyor
transports the material between the tracks to the nose of the conveyor
and into the bucket. Because the operator controls the conveyor
from inside the cab, he can fill the bucket with the exact amount
of bedding material, placing it where and when he needs it.
Bedding Conveyors are indispensable for projects involving tight
work areas and narrow alleyways, and they will increase production
of any project. Efficient and timely material placement increases
production, reduces job and street congestion, and minimizes the
impact of overheads. Placing bedding material with a Bedding Conveyor
is more efficient than cycling to a stone box or dumping directly
into the trench with a loader.
In addition to increased production, using a Felco Bedding Conveyor
has safety benefits! Since the operator is controlling the conveyor
from inside the cab, he has a direct line of sight into the trench,
as well as on both sides. Filling the Bedding Conveyor hopper with
material rather than dumping from the trench side keeps a loader
away from the trench edge, reducing the opportunity for accidents.
With six models, we have a Bedding Conveyor to fit almost every
excavator and job site. Let us provide production, efficiency, and
safety to your project.
