Frequently Asked Questions

• What is the difference between a live roller and a gravity roller conveyor?

  A gravity roller conveyor relies on the slope of the conveyor or manual pushing to move items. A live roller conveyor uses a motor to drive the rollers, providing powered movement.

• Can this conveyor handle irregular shaped items?

• What maintenance is typically required for a used roller conveyor?

• How do I determine the correct conveyor length for my application?

• Are spare parts readily available for unknown manufacturer roller conveyors?
