Conveyor on Wheels

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving packaged goods between workstations or different areas of a facility.
• Loading and unloading vehicles, especially where fixed conveyors are impractical.
• Temporary production lines or event setups requiring flexible material handling.
• Bridging gaps in existing conveyor systems or reconfiguring layouts quickly.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, load capacities typically range from 50 kg to 200 kg per metre, depending on construction and motorisation.

Power supply

Commonly, motorised units require a 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase supply, though unpowered gravity roller versions are also prevalent.

Conveyor type

Units of this type are typically belt, roller (gravity or powered), or sometimes modular plastic chain, chosen based on product characteristics.

Adjustability

Many conveyors on wheels feature adjustable height and sometimes variable speed, offering operational flexibility.

Mobility

Equipped with robust castors, often with brakes, for easy repositioning within a facility.

Construction materials

Typically constructed from mild steel, painted or powder-coated, or stainless steel for food-grade or corrosive environments.
