Incline Roller Conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Moving products between different floor levels or to elevated processing stations.
• Loading and unloading vehicles or storage racks where a height differential exists.
• Integrating with other conveyor systems to create a continuous material flow.
• Transporting items over obstacles on the production floor.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities typically range from light to medium duty, handling individual items up to 50-100 kg, depending on roller strength and motorisation.

Power supply

Motorised incline roller conveyors commonly operate on 400V 3-phase or 230V single-phase power, with specific requirements varying by motor size.

Incline angle

Units of this type typically feature fixed or adjustable incline angles, commonly between 10 and 30 degrees, suitable for stable product transport.

Roller material

Rollers are commonly made from steel, stainless steel, or PVC, chosen based on the product being conveyed and the operating environment.

Throughput

Throughput rates are typically determined by conveyor speed and product size, commonly ranging from a few items per minute to continuous flow.

Footprint

The footprint will vary significantly based on length, width, and incline height, with units commonly requiring several metres in length.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What types of products are suitable for an incline roller conveyor?

  Incline roller conveyors are best suited for items with a flat, stable base that can be supported by the rollers, such as boxes, crates, pallets, and some types of containers. Irregularly shaped or very small items may require a different conveyor type.
