-
They are designed as “plug-and-play” material management/handling solutions for moving dirt, aggregate, bricks, and similar bulk materials.
-
Good for use in tight or restricted access locations (e.g. basements, trenches, backyards) or where access is tricky.
Features & Highlights
Here are things LINKIT does well / what makes it attractive:
-
Mobility & Portability: The units are designed to move. Folding wheel frames, stackable designs.
-
Power & Control: 110V operation makes it more convenient; linking multiple units under one power source helps with efficiency.
-
Forward & Reverse, Multiple Speeds: Useful for adjusting flow, clearing material, flexibility in operations. I
-
Rugged Build: Rubber chevron belts, robust aluminum frames, internal belt scrapers, etc. Designed to handle tough material.
Limitations / Things to Watch
While LINKIT is pretty capable, there are some constraints:
-
Capacity Limits: For extremely high volumes or very large particles/materials, you’ll need to check whether LINKIT will suffice or if a heavier duty conveyor is needed.
-
Power Source Dependence: Even “portable” equipment like this needs reliable power. While 110V helps, having enough generator capacity (if off-grid) or clean power is important.
-
Setup & Alignment: When linking multiple units and setting up hoppers/extensions etc., alignment and slope need to be managed well so material flows, doesn’t jam, and safety is maintained.
-
Wear & Maintenance: Rubber belts, chevrons, and scrapers wear. Access to parts and ease of maintenance matters. InterQuip seems to provide resources/manuals etc. for this.
Good Fit / Use-Cases
Here are scenarios where LINKIT is particularly useful:
-
Excavation work in confined spaces (basements, under existing structures).
-
Landscaping projects where materials (soil, mulch, rock) need to be moved over uneven ground or around obstacles.
-
Remediation/tunneling where traditional dump trucks or loaders can’t reach or are impractical.
-
Jobs where you need to move material away from the site quickly and want to reduce manual labor.
-
Temporary or short-term projects where investing in permanent conveyors doesn’t make sense.
