Abstract

The invention relates generally to a mounting assembly for facilitating displacement of an idler roller support extending, in use, generally transversely across a travelling path of a conveyor belt. The mounting assembly including at least two end mounting arrangements, the two end mounting arrangements being for mounting the idler roller support towards opposite ends of the idler roller support respectively, in which the mounting arrangements are arranged for permitting displacement of the idler roller support relative to the travelling path of the conveyor belt.
