5.8 Conveyor Axle Position
Axle position on the wheel base frame is based on whether the
conveyor is equipped with a power pack. Tongue weight varies
depending on conveyor length and installed accessories.
The standard CT conveyor comes with pressure and return
hoses for the hydraulic motor to drive the conveyor chain. It
requires an external power source, typically provided by the
wood processor. If the accessory power pack is installed on
the conveyor, the axles are repositioned to lower weight on the
tongue.
Axle Location on Wheel Base Frame
The axle is positioned and bolted to the conveyor frame
based on the measurements in the following table. Measure
from the front of the wheel base frame to the center of the
axle (measurement 'X').

spanner bar is installed and all fasteners are properly
