A conveyor assembly which includes a continuous belt for carrying bulk material such as stone, ore, grain etc. is provided. The conveyor transports the material to a discharge point where the material is discharged from the belt as the belt wraps around a head pulley. The belt is troughed between the area that the material is loaded onto the belt and the head pulley. A plurality of belt supports support the belt between the area where the material is loaded onto the belt and the head pulley. Each belt support includes a central roller for providing generally frictionless rolling support for the central portion of the belt. Each belt support further includes a pair of wing supports for supporting the troughing side of the belt. Each wing support includes a roller adjacent the central roller and a pair of slider bars supporting the marginal edges of the belt. The slider bars support the marginal edges of the belt between successive belt supports to retain the belt in engagement with a skirt to prevent spillage of material.
