Meridian Grain Conveyors & Equipment

Meridian Manufacturing has been building grain handling equipment since 1965 — and it started right here in Manitoba, on a farm near the road marking the province’s east-west meridian line. That local pedigree matters: Meridian conveyors are engineered for the exact conditions Manitoba growers deal with every harvest, from canola to wheat to soybeans.

At Altona Farm Service, we carry Meridian’s truck-load belt conveyors, built to move seed, grain, and feed gently and efficiently. The 2000 Series conveyors we stock handle up to 12,000 bushels per hour, using a chevron belt and enclosed tube design that keep the commodity moving smoothly without damage. A 5-foot low-profile collapsible intake hopper reduces spillage at the truck, and gas or electric-drive options let you match the conveyor to how your operation runs.

Our current Meridian lineup includes the 2045-CR — a Canola Ready model with a belt built to handle canola’s small, oily seeds without the leakage or seed loss a standard belt can cause — and the 20-55, Meridian’s longer-reach conveyor for taller trucks and bins. Both are available to see in person in Altona.

As with everything we sell, we don’t just move Meridian conveyors out the door — we service them. Our shop stocks parts and handles seasonal maintenance, so your conveyor keeps running through planting and harvest.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

What is a Meridian Canola Ready (CR) conveyor?
Meridian’s Canola Ready belt is designed specifically to handle canola’s small, oily seeds without the leakage or seed damage a standard conveyor belt can cause — an important detail for Manitoba’s canola growers. The 2045-CR at Altona Farm Service comes with this belt as standard.

How much can a Meridian truck load conveyor move per hour?
Meridian’s 2000 Series truck load conveyors, including the models we carry, can move up to 12,000 bushels per hour depending on configuration and drive system. Call (204) 324-5523 for specs on the model that fits your operation.

Is Meridian a Manitoba company?
Yes — Meridian Manufacturing was founded on a farm in southern Manitoba in 1965 and remains headquartered in the province today. Altona Farm Service carries Meridian equipment built close to home.
