A reciprocating grate conveyor such as that used in a heat exchanger particularly adapted for cooling granular material such as cement clinker with the improvement of an apparatus for balancing the load on the drive mechanism. The conveyor includes a series of grates with movable grates alternating with fixed grates. The grates are mounted on a frame which is secured to wheels which ride on incline tracks. Means are provided for reciprocating the frame and thus, the movable grates. A weight arrangement is pivotally connected to the conveyor support structure for exerting a force on the movable grate support frame in the direction of material movement.
