A linkage system for the articulated connection of two sections of a conveyor is described. The linkage system has a first and second linkage assembly, each comprising a first linkage body having a conveyor engagement portion at a first end and a first sleeve formation at a second end, a second linkage body having a second sleeve formation at a first end and a first linkage formation at a second end, and a pivot member, wherein the first and second sleeve formations are shaped so as together to be assembleable to provide a single sleeve formation into which the pivot member may be surroundingly received. The first and second linkage formations of the first and second linkage assemblies are mutually adapted so as to be mountable together in rigid fixed relationship. A conveyor assembly, an assembled conveyor and a method for the articulated connection of two sections of a conveyor embodying the same principles are also described.
