Tubular-frame conveyors are superior in every way to any other type - and only Marco has manufactured tubular frame conveyors continuously since we pioneered them over 50 years ago.

Today, many thousands of conveyors around the world stand as proof that Marco tubular-truss conveyor frames last longer, re-configure more easily, and withstand the pressures of moving without bending.

Most importantly, Marco's tubular frames are an integral part of Marco's Belt SaverTM technology, designed to preserve your conveyor's most expensive and vulnerable moving part.


Marco Tubular-Truss Conveyor Frames: stronger, straighter, and longer-lasting than any other conveyor on the market today.

No matter what kind of materials you're moving, whether they're hot, cold, abrasive or corrosive, Marco tubular-truss conveying systems will do the job more efficiently over a longer period of time at a lower total cost.

Here's Why:


Marco Conveyors Are Stronger

Strength Throughout The Frame
Unlike other brands, Marco truss sections are interchangeable, making them easier to align, assemble, replace or rearrange. Because chord flanges connect with 4 bolts, it's easy to align the joints with a drift pin.

Marco Conveyors Preserve The Life Of The Belt

Belts Last Longer
Pulleys, frames and mounts provide about 100% more side-to-side room than most brands, and are thus more forgiving of misaligned and wandering belts.

Marco Frames Last Longer

Cleaner Frames For Longer Life
Debris can't build up on Marco's tubular frame, dramatically reducing moisture retention that corrodes metal.
Rust-Free On The Inside
Completely sealed chord ends keep moisture out.
Rust-Busting Finish On The Outside
Marco's 2-component urethane paints are the best available protection against tough wear and harsh chemicals. A rust-inhibiting pigment is included in the 4 mils of paint. To create the ideal surface for paint adhesion, frames pass through an 8-wheel steel shotblasting chamber just before painting. Abrading meets or exceeds Metal Surface Specifications of the Steel Structures Painting Council.
Quality Assurance Throughout
All materials meet or exceed American Institute of Steel Construction specifications for structural steel construction. All welds conform to the American Welding Society Structural Welding Code.

The Marco Advantage Extends Beyond The Frame

Easier Belt Training
Marco idlers are angled 2o in the direction of travel to facilitate training. Customers have reported spending only 30 minutes to train 300' of belt on a new Marco conveyor.
Longer Idler Roll Life
Double thickness at the roll edge extends the life of the component by strengthening its point of greatest wear. Some Marco owners have reported going nearly 30 years before changing rolls.
Added Belt Protection
Pedestal-mounted return idlers do not restrict the conveyor belt as do conventional hanger mounts.
