Abstract

A belt turn conveyor includes a vertical support member extending to the ground and a lateral support which is cantilevered from the vertical support. An endless belt can be removed and installed by slipping the endless belt over an end of the lateral support opposite the vertical support. In this manner, the belt can be removed without disassembling the vertical support.
