1. A conveyor apparatus comprising:
a conveyor frame embodying a structural support for a conveyor surface, the conveyor frame defining a conveyor length that extends in a length direction and comprising:
a plurality of opposing sidewalls extending in the length direction, including a first sidewall defining a first lateral side of the conveyor frame and comprising a first guide track extending along a first inner surface thereof in the length direction, and a second sidewall defining a second lateral side of the conveyor frame and comprising a second guide track extending along a second inner surface thereof in the length direction; and
a plurality of bottom panels, each provided beneath at least a portion of the conveyor surface and extending between the first sidewall and the second sidewall, wherein a first bottom panel of the plurality of bottom panels is engaged with both the first guide track of the first sidewall and the second guide track of the second sidewall such that the first bottom panel is configured to be selectively moveable throughout a first range of motion that is defined at least in part by the first guide track and the second guide track; and
wherein the first guide track comprises a first bottom surface extending in a first laterally inward direction at least substantially perpendicularly from the first inner surface of the first sidewall, and the second guide track comprises a second bottom surface extending in a second laterally inward direction at least substantially perpendicularly from the second inner surface of the second sidewall; wherein the first laterally inward direction and the second laterally inward direction are at least substantially opposite directions.
