Gravity Conveyors

Low-cost, basic material handling

Gravity conveyor mechanizes an operation that doesn't justify more costly powered equipment. The conveyors quickly and effortlessly move thousands of items in almost any direction... with virtually no operating or maintenance costs.

Move a wide range of material types and sizes
Wheel conveyors handle flat-bottom, moderate weight items. Roller conveyor can handle slightly heavier, irregular bottoms. Basic straight sections, as well as curves and other accessories, are available for both conveyor types. With these components and capabilities, gravity conveyor is an economical way to streamline many operations:

Work-in-process... This conveyor's low friction allows items to be pushed from station to station.

Receiving and shipping... With lightweight aluminum frames, portable gravity conveyors can be moved right into truck trailers for loading or unloading.

On-line, live storage... Lines of gravity conveyor are especially well suited to operations moving material on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis.

Accessories for a complete system
Spurs, Y-switches, swing gates, diverters, mobile sections, and extendible units are among the accessories that can complete a low-cost gravity conveyor system. Other accessories include guard rails, case stops, ceiling-mounted hangers, and floor stands
