A skate-wheel conveyor converted into a belt conveyor, a kit including components for the conversion, and a method for carrying out the conversion. C-shaped collars having an open neck are slipped onto the skate wheels of an existing skate-wheel conveyor. The gap across the neck is narrower than the diameter of the skate wheel. Support surfaces at the ends of the C-shaped collars across the gaps support the bases of wear surfaces, such as wear strips, that form a conveyor carryway to support a conveyor belt. Fasteners retain the wear strips in place, bridging the gaps in the collars to surround the skate wheels in a secure connection.
