A shock-absorbing suspension for a conveyor assembly includes brackets that attach to the parallel support beams of the conveyor. The brackets support corresponding saddles, that in turn, mount the conveyor assembly. In a preferred embodiment, the saddles are mounted above inverted U-shaped brackets that are attached to the top flange of the support beams. Dual coil springs are positioned vertically between the brackets and the saddles, with one spring on each side of the support beams. Within the springs are guide pins to restrict lateral movement, while adjustable fasteners preload the springs. In an alternate embodiment, the bracket/saddle combination is reoriented to provide increased overhead clearance. Each longitudinal end of the combination is covered by a skirt of flexible rubber to protect the interior from dust and debris. The brackets on opposing support beams are connected by a telescoping linkage that adjusts the spacing between the bracket/saddle combinations to match the spacing between the support beams. A kit is also provided for retrofitting a conveyor assembly.
