Interactive Buyer Guide

Find your conveyor by reach.

Start with the job: low pile, truck, trailer, processor output, or maximum yard stacking. The finder below gives you a clear model to start with.

Step 1: Choose the max reach you need

Longer conveyor = higher pile and more working distance from the splitter or processor.

*Prices, availability, options, and shipping are subject to change. Hydraulic setup requires compatible auxiliary hydraulic output.

The Lineup

Five belt conveyors. Choose your reach.

How to Choose

Buy the reach, not the confusion.

1
Where does the material need to land?Ground pile, truck, trailer, bin, or processor output area.
2
Pick length by max reach.If you are between sizes, step up. Extra reach usually gives more flexibility.
3
Choose the power setup when you order.Use the 3.5 HP engine for standalone operation or choose hydraulic drive when compatible equipment can power it.
4
Add chip separation if cleanup matters.Use the optional chip separator when you want less debris in the finished pile or loading area.

Most buyers should start at C24B.

The 24′ conveyor gives strong reach without jumping to the longest unit. It is a solid starting point for processor-style workflows, truck loading, and higher-output yards.

Power and Options

Set it up for the way you work.

Hydraulic Power

Run it from compatible equipment.

Choose hydraulic drive when your processor, splitter, or other power source has compatible auxiliary hydraulic output. The product page lets you select the power setup when you order.

Watch wood move.

Reach and workflow are easier to understand when you can see the conveyor clearing material from the machine.

Why Belt

Built to keep wood moving.

A belt conveyor is a straightforward answer when you need to move split wood and other suitable material away from the machine, reduce hand labor, and keep the operation from backing up.

Wood Conveyor Buyer Guide

Hud-Son belt wood conveyors for processors, splitters, stacking, truck loading, and material handling.

Hud-Son belt conveyors are built for wood-processing operations that need to move material away from a wood splitter, firewood processor, or staging area. Choose from five belt conveyor lengths—12′, 16′, 20′, 24′, and 32′—based on the reach height and working distance needed for your pile, truck, trailer, bin, or yard layout.

  • Best for: split wood and firewood handling, processor output, trailer loading, truck loading, and yard stacking.
  • Primary decision: choose by maximum reach first, then select engine or hydraulic drive when ordering.
  • Construction: 18″ belt, heavy-duty 2×4 tube steel frame, and hardwood slide rails.
  • Options: hydraulic drive, chip separator, and model-specific conveyor options.
Questions Before You Buy

Get the right fit before it ships.

What size wood conveyor do I need?

Choose by maximum reach. The C12B reaches 6′ fixed, C16B reaches 9′6″, C20B reaches 11′, C24B reaches 12′6″, and C32B reaches 14′. If you are between sizes, step up for more pile height and working distance.

Should I choose the 3.5 HP engine or hydraulic drive?

Choose the 3.5 HP engine for standalone operation. Choose hydraulic drive when your processor, splitter, or power source has compatible auxiliary hydraulic output. Select the setup on the product page when ordering.

Is a belt conveyor better than a chain conveyor for wood handling?

For split wood and firewood, a belt conveyor is a clean, simple choice because it carries material away from the machine with less noise and fewer chain-contact issues. The right choice still depends on the material, workflow, and production volume.

How do I know if I need the 24′ or 32′ conveyor?

Use the C24B when you need strong reach for processor-style work and truck loading without going to the longest unit. Use the C32B when you need maximum reach, higher piles, or more distance from the machine.

What does the optional chip separator do?

The chip separator allows chips and smaller debris to fall through while the larger material continues forward. It works with most conveyors and provides adjustable redirection. Call Hud-Son to confirm fit and details.

Can these conveyors move materials other than firewood?

Possibly. Suitability depends on the material size, weight, moisture, belt traction, incline, and loading method. Contact Hud-Son with the material and intended use before ordering.

Can Hud-Son help confirm the right conveyor before I order?

Yes. Contact Hud-Son with your splitter or processor model, target pile height, truck or trailer height, hydraulic availability, material, and desired options. A specialist can help confirm the fit.
