16' Belt Drive Conveyor

WALLENSTEIN CT16B 16' Belt Drive Conveyor is a towable trailer firewood conveyor designed for use with Wallenstein wood processors and splitters. Its 16 ft conveyor trough moves split firewood to a maximum pile height of 8.5 ft, helping reduce manual handling and streamline firewood processing. The CT16B uses engine power transmitted through a drive belt to operate a heavy-duty conveyor chain, combining the belt-drive designation with a robust 662 pintle chain and 2 in high serrated cleats for moving firewood along the trough. Pivoting wheels, an adjustable axle, and a clevis hitch support positioning and transport around the worksite.

Efficient Firewood Conveying

The CT16B is built for transferring split wood from a processor or splitter into a higher storage pile, truck, trailer, or other collection area. Its 16 ft trough provides extended reach, while the maximum pile height of 8.5 ft allows firewood to be stacked efficiently without requiring repeated manual lifting. The conveyor is towable, making it suitable for moving between processing locations when configured with the appropriate towing equipment.

The material-conveying mechanism is a 662 Pintle Heavy Conveyor Chain driven by an engine-mounted system and bottom sprocket. Two-inch high serrated cleats provide a positive conveying surface for split firewood. The conveyor working width measures 8 in at the bottom and flares to 20 in at the top, providing a trough profile suited to handling firewood while helping contain material as it travels.
