Carry-Side Trackers
Control misalignment where loaded belt behaviour begins.
Carry-side mistracking often begins near loading, where material position, belt dynamics and trough geometry create the first movement away from centre. Tru-Trac carry-side trackers are specified to correct the belt while it is carrying material, helping reduce edge damage, spillage and downstream instability.

02 / Where it begins
Where carry-side mistracking actually begins.
Off-centre loading, material turbulence, belt sag and trough geometry compound at the loading point. The visible damage — edge fraying, spillage, transfer wear — usually shows up downstream of where the drift actually started.
- 01Off-centre material loading creates lateral force on the belt.
- 02Belt sag at the load zone changes effective trough geometry.
- 03Speed and tonnage shifts move the equilibrium tracking point.
- 04Pre-existing belt camber or splice asymmetry compounds drift.
03 / Carry-side architectures
The Tru-Trac carry-side range, matched to duty.
Each tracker family is specified by operating envelope — belt width, speed, material, environment and failure history. Engineering review is the source of truth.
01 · Apex · STD / HD / XHD / EXHDApex Taper Trough Tracker
For carry-side belt tracking where compact fitment, fast autonomous correction and duty-rated performance are required. Best for applications where belt drift begins under load or immediately after loading. Specify by belt width, speed, trough angle, material, environment and duty tier.

04 / Selector
Match the carry-side tracker to your conveyor.
The selector returns a recommended tracker family + duty tier from your conveyor inputs. Engineering Review Required is a normal outcome for borderline or high-risk applications.
Specify the right carry-side tracker for the duty.
Carry-side problems compound downstream. The right tracker, in the right position, stops drift before it becomes edge damage.
