What We Do

Complete Conveyor Services — One Reliable Partner

From first-time installations to 24/7 emergency breakdown response, Horizon Industrial covers every stage of your conveyor system’s life. Each service below links to a dedicated page with full details, equipment specifications, and pricing guidance.

01
Installation

Conveyor System Installation

We install belt conveyors, roller conveyors, chain-driven lines, overhead systems, and modular sortation networks. Every installation starts with a site assessment, load and layout analysis, and a fixed-price project plan — then we build to spec, on schedule.

02
Maintenance

Conveyor Maintenance Services

Unplanned downtime costs Alberta facilities $5,000–$15,000 per hour. Our preventive maintenance programmes inspect belting, pulleys, rollers, drives, and controls on a fixed schedule — so breakdowns happen on paper, not on your production floor.

03
Repair

Conveyor System Repair

Belt tears, pulley failures, roller seizures, drive malfunctions, control faults — our Red Seal millwrights diagnose and fix the problem fast. Most Calgary-area facilities receive an on-site technician within 4 hours of an emergency call, around the clock.

04
Belt Services

Conveyor Belt Services

We supply and install heavy duty rubber belting, food-grade PVC, lightweight modular plastic, and bulk material belting. Vulcanised splicing, mechanical fasteners, belt tracking adjustments, and full replacements — done properly, so it lasts.

What Makes Horizon Industrial Different?

There are dozens of contractors who will show up with a wrench. Horizon Industrial is one of a small number in Western Canada that combines Red Seal millwright certification, PMP-certified project management, and a dedicated conveyor specialisation. Here is what that means in practice.

What does conveyor installation cost? A basic in-plant belt or roller conveyor installation runs $15,000–$60,000. A full sortation system for a distribution centre typically ranges from $150,000–$750,000 depending on throughput, layout complexity, and controls integration. We provide fixed-price quotes after a site assessment — no surprises mid-project.

How long does installation take? A single-line belt or roller conveyor installation takes 3–10 days for a crew of two. A multi-zone sortation system takes 4–12 weeks. We schedule all work around your production calendar — nights, weekends, and statutory holidays are standard for facilities that cannot afford production stops.

What conveyor types do you install? Belt conveyors, motorised roller conveyors, chain conveyors, overhead power-and-free systems, screw and auger conveyors for bulk materials, vibrating conveyors for aggregate and grain, and automated sortation systems including cross-belt and sliding-shoe sorters. We work with all major Canadian and North American manufacturers.

Do you service equipment you didn’t install? Yes — and it is the majority of our repair and maintenance work. We diagnose and service equipment from Hytrol, Ashland Conveyor, Intelligroup, Rapistan, TGW, and custom fabricated systems. Bring us the make and model, or let us assess on-site.

Do you work in food processing facilities? Yes. We install and maintain food-grade and sanitary conveyor systems built to CFIA and HACCP standards. Our team understands washdown requirements, material restrictions, and the documentation needs of food and beverage processing environments.

What is your service area? Our primary area covers all of Alberta — Calgary, Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, Fort McMurray, and Grande Prairie. We also complete projects in BC and Saskatchewan. For remote northern Alberta sites, we coordinate fly-in/drive-out crew logistics at no extra complexity to you.

Industries We Serve Across Western Canada

Conveyor systems are the backbone of material handling across Alberta’s major industries. Each sector has different uptime requirements, load types, and regulatory standards. Horizon Industrial has direct field experience in all of the following:

About Horizon Industrial Services

Horizon Industrial was founded in Airdrie, Alberta in 2020. What started as a small industrial millwright operation has grown into one of Western Canada’s most trusted conveyor system contractors — serving over 60 facilities across Alberta and beyond.

Our team holds Red Seal Millwright certifications and our project leads are PMP-certified. We are Avetta-certified and carry full WCB coverage for all job sites in Alberta, BC, and Saskatchewan.

Conveyor systems are our specialisation — not a side service. That focus means our technicians have seen your problem before and know how to solve it efficiently. In 2024, we completed over 40 conveyor projects across Alberta, ranging from single belt replacements to full sortation system installations for national distribution networks. Our average emergency response time for Calgary-area facilities is under 3 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions — Conveyor Systems in Alberta

A belt conveyor uses a continuous loop of belting to move goods — ideal for irregular shapes, fragile items, inclines, and bulk materials. A roller conveyor uses rotating rollers and works best for rigid, flat-bottomed loads like totes, cartons, and pallets. Gravity roller conveyors need no power; motorised roller conveyors (MDR) give precise zone control and accumulation. Horizon Industrial installs and services both types across Alberta.
A structured preventive maintenance programme for a single-line conveyor system typically costs $2,000–$6,000 per year depending on line length, belt type, and visit frequency. Planned maintenance costs a fraction of unplanned repairs — a single emergency callout plus parts often exceeds an entire year of preventive maintenance investment.
In many cases, yes. For new conveyor additions alongside existing lines, installation can proceed during production hours with proper safety controls. For modifications to active lines, we schedule tie-in work during planned maintenance windows or statutory holidays. Our project managers specialise in minimising production impact at every stage.
The most common causes are: belt mistracking and edge wear from misaligned pulleys or off-centre loading; bearing and roller failures from inadequate lubrication; drive motor and gearbox failures from overloading or deferred maintenance; and belt splice failures on 24/7 systems. Most are preventable with a structured quarterly inspection programme.
Yes. Overhead power-and-free conveyor systems are used in automotive, manufacturing, and assembly environments where floor space is limited. We install monorail systems, enclosed track overhead conveyors, and power-and-free accumulating systems. Overhead installations require structural assessments — we coordinate with your facility’s engineering team as part of the project scope.
As a general rule: if repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, or if the system has had three or more major failures in a 12-month period, replacement is worth evaluating. Horizon Industrial offers no-obligation system assessments — we give you an honest recommendation based on equipment age, condition, parts availability, and your production requirements.
