      Generic Cleat Illustration

      Cleats are used to convey materials up an incline and prevent product rollback, as well as to create separation between the products or materials that are being conveyed. Other names for cleats include flights, lugs, and profiles. We offer a wide variety of cleat styles and patterns to fit every application need.

      • T-Cleat for most incline needs
      • Scoops cleats for steeper angles
      • Thin line cleats for smaller pulley diameters and lower tonnages
      • Available in many size, styles, and colors

      • T-Cleat T-Cleat

      • Super Heavy-Duty T-Cleat Super Heavy-Duty T-Cleat

      Lightweight & Heavy-Duty Cleat Minimum Pulleys

      Volta Blue Cleated Belt

      When a belt involves multiple components (ie. Base belt, V-guide, sidewall, flange, lacing, etc.) it is important to consider the minimum pulley dimensions of all components when determining an appropriate minimum pulley dimension for the entire conveyor system.

      When selecting a fabricated belt, the "largest" minimum pulley diameter for each component must be chosen as the smallest pulley diameter to use. Undersized pulleys can create a number of issues, including:
      • Shortened belt life
      • Ply separation
      • Creation of stress cracks in covers
      • Causes cleats to lift from belt covers
