Superior Industries, Inc., Morris, Minnesota, highlights nearly three decades of TeleStacker conveyor innovation this year, showcasing how ongoing engineering advancements help producers build better stockpiles, handle material more efficiently and operate more profitably. Since introducing its radial telescopic conveyor in 1997, Superior has manufactured more than 2,000 units worldwide. The manufacturer’s first TeleStacker conveyor was decommissioned following the 2025 production season after nearly three decades of operation at a Midwest sand and gravel facility—a testament to the equipment’s design and durability.
Over thousands of field applications, Superior engineers have continued refining the TeleStacker conveyor to address customer feedback and changing operating conditions. The result is a portfolio of seven active patents across the TeleStacker product line. Among those innovations are:
- FB® Undercarriage: Supports longer conveyors and larger stockpiles by improving structural stability and reducing flex throughout the machine.
- FD Auto Level Technology: Automatically levels the conveyor during radial travel to maintain proper operating position and help prevent belt mistracking.
- XTP Swing Axle: Simplifies the transition between transport and operation through faster power-travel engagement, fewer setup components and improved wheel alignment.
- 210-Foot Road-Portable Design: Uses a patented support structure that allows producers to build larger stockpiles while maintaining the stability and portability required for highway transport.
Today, Superior offers TeleStacker conveyors in standard lengths from 110 to 210 feet, with custom configurations and lengths available for specialized applications across aggregates, mining, and other bulk material handling industries.
