Abstract
Systems and methods for automatically leveling a base frame of a bulk material transport conveyor include raising or lowering either or both radial travel wheels mounted on generally opposing sides of the base frame. Actuators normally used to raise or lower the radial travel wheel actuators may be controlled in response to inclination and/or limit sensors mounted on the conveyor.
