Portable Conveyor for Construction & Industrial Sites Across New Zealand
Shifta, Best Conveyor For Rubble, Aggregates and Soils
The Shifta is already well known and respected in the industry as being the best conveyor of rubble, aggregates and soils, and this popular lightweight machine, with its aluminium construction, is now even more portable than before.
Common Site Problems the Shifta Solves
On plenty of Kiwi sites, the hard part is not the digging; it is shifting the material once it is loose. Tight access, steep banks and awkward corners stop trucks and diggers from getting close, so the job falls to the wheelbarrow and a worn-out team by knock-off time. The Shifta sorts that. One person can move rubble, aggregate, soil and sand up a slope as steep as 55 degrees, at up to 90 tonnes an hour, with no back-breaking barrow runs. It is light enough to carry around the site and follow the digger, quiet at just 60dB, and you can link lengths together to reach round, over and through the spots other machines cannot. That means less labour, faster clean-ups and a big pile gone in days, not weeks.

Applications
Ideal For Any Site
Construction Sites
Move rubble, aggregate and spoil efficiently on tight access residential and commercial building sites across New Zealand.
INDUSTRIAL SITES
High-throughput material movement at 90 tonnes per hour. Run multiple Shiftas from a single 5KVA transformer for maximum output.
EXCAVATION & EARTHWORKS
Tackle deep excavations and difficult terrain with a conveyor that handles steep 55° angles where other machines simply can’t go.
SOLO OPERATIONS
Designed for single-operator use. One person can load, run and reposition the Shifta independently, reducing labour costs on site.
LIMITED ACCESS AREAS
The lightweight aluminium design means it can be carried and set up by one operator in spaces where larger machinery can’t fit.
BACKFILL & REINSTATEMENT
Quickly and cleanly backfill trenches or reinstate sites with soils and aggregates, reducing manual handling and project time.

FAQ’s
What can the Shifta move?
The Shifta is built for rubble, aggregate, soil and sand. Its tough rubber troughed belt handles bulky material with ease, and the large hopper takes big loads, so it is ideal for the sort of mixed material you deal with on most sites.
How steep a slope can it handle?
The Shifta conveys material up an incline of up to 55 degrees. That makes it perfect for tricky sections and banks where the lie of the land would stop most other machines and force you back to the wheelbarrow.
How much material can it shift and how fast?
It moves up to 90 tonnes an hour, with a belt speed you can set between 20 and 32 metres per minute. One operator can clear a big pile quickly, so you save hours of hand-barrowing and heavy lifting.
Is it easy to move around the site?
Yes. The Shifta has a lightweight aluminium build, so one person can carry it and shift it closer to where the digger is working. It comes in 3m, 4m, 5m and 6m lengths, and you can link lengths together to reach round, over and through awkward spots.
What power does it need, and is it noisy?
A single Shifta runs on a 110/240V 3kVA supply, and a 5kVA transformer lets you run up to five machines at once. It is also quiet at just 60dB, so it suits sites with noise limits or work near neighbours.
