Superior Industries’ redesigned impact cradle features larger pad cartridges, increased durability

Superior Industries has unveiled a revised design of its conveyor impact cradle. The new arrangement includes larger pad cartridges to enhance durability and a reinforced point of connection between the pads and cradle frame.

According to Superior's engineers, the conveyor impact cradle is a modern redesign of the traditional impact bed. While both products absorb the force of falling material to prevent damage to conveyor belts, the impact cradle is engineered to address common shortcomings associated with the design of traditional impact beds:

• Curved bed fully supports belting, leaving no gaps to trap fugitive material 
• Pads are easy to slide on or off cradle frame in tight, hard-to-access transition zones
• No special tools are required, which speeds up installation and maintenance
• One-piece pads made from a special urethane to reduce friction and enhance cushioning

In addition to these redesigned features, Superior's impact cradle is newly available in two more pre-engineered models: medium and heavy duty. These two models are now available in addition to the standard model, which was first introduced in 2017.
