Non driven roller pallet conveyor

Applications & Use Cases

• Used for temporary storage or accumulation of pallets in a production line.
• Ideal for manual loading and unloading stations where powered movement is not required.
• Suitable for gravity-fed systems on a slight incline, or where pallets are pushed manually.
• Commonly found in packaging areas, dispatch zones, and assembly lines for buffering.
• Utilised in conjunction with other conveyor types to create integrated material handling solutions.

Typical Specifications

Typical capacity

Units of this class typically handle pallet weights ranging from 500 kg to 2000 kg, depending on roller strength and spacing.

Power supply

Non-driven roller conveyors do not require an external power supply, relying on gravity or manual force for pallet movement.

Roller material

Rollers are commonly made from mild steel, galvanised steel, or sometimes stainless steel for specific applications.

Frame construction

The frame is typically constructed from robust mild steel, often painted or powder-coated for durability.

Pallet compatibility

Designed to accommodate standard Euro pallets or industrial pallets, with roller widths matched to pallet dimensions.

Typical footprint

The footprint varies significantly based on length and width, but individual sections are commonly available in lengths from 1m to 3m.
