Applications & Use Cases

• Moving heavy pallets and containers within warehouses and distribution centres.
• Integrating into automated production lines for sequential product transfer.
• Buffering and accumulating pallets before further processing or dispatch.
• Handling goods in receiving and despatch areas of manufacturing facilities.

Typical Specifications

Typical load capacity

Typically designed for loads ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg per pallet, depending on roller and motor specifications.

Roller material

Commonly features steel rollers, often galvanised or powder-coated for durability and resistance to wear.

Drive mechanism

Units of this type typically utilise chain-driven or belt-driven rollers, powered by an electric motor with a gearbox.

Power supply

For this class of equipment, a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply is commonly required.

Typical speed range

Conveying speeds are typically between 0.1 m/s and 0.3 m/s, adjustable via variable speed drives.

Section length

Individual coupled sections commonly range from 1.5 metres to 3 metres in length, allowing for modular system design.
