Heavy product

Pallet conveyors are durable, versatile and able to both transport and accumulate heavy products. A variety of loads are available with pallet handling systems, and they can accommodate most pallet types.

  • Heavy duty loads: 3,000 – 6,000 pounds
  • Consult factory: 6,000 – 10,000 pounds

Palletized product

As its name suggests, a palletizing system is the perfect option to move your pallets. No more carrying pallets from one end of your warehouse to the other on forklifts. These systems provide continuous, automated flow of product, cutting down on labor and maintenance costs.

How can you apply your pallet handling system?

Accumulation

A common use of pallet conveyors is accumulation. Zero pressure accumulation systems reduce the possibility of damage to your product while transporting it within your production area. Stability and simple operation helps provide a continuous flow of material, without the hazard of harm to the product.

Transport

When you need to get your product from one end of your production area to the other, pallet handling systems can do that, too. It's important to get your material safely from point A to point B, and these systems do the job simply and well.

What else can a pallet handling system do?

Your system will work best when it is created to do everything you need it to do�that can be anything from reorienting product to changing its direction completely. That's where system accessories come in. Create a complete system with these accessories:

  • Curves
  • Transfers
  • Lift & Rotate
  • Turn Tables
  • Pivot Carts
  • Pop-up Stops
