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.
