A belt turn conveyor includes a conveyor support having first and second generally stationary vertical bearing surfaces and first and second generally stationary horizontal bearing surfaces. An endless belt is rotationally supported by the conveyor support and includes bearing assemblies for engaging the vertical bearing surfaces for retaining the endless belt on the conveyor support. An elongated strip of low friction flexible material is secured to the endless belt for engaging the horizontal surfaces of the conveyor support to restrain vertical movement of the endless belt.
