Conveyors


Browse our product categories for the latest products available in the materials handling market and request information from suppliers of these products.


24-volt live roller conveyor
The E24 conveyor incorporates 24- volt live roller technology to provide high performance and reliable operation in a safe, quiet working environment. It is ideal for facilities with frequent layout changes or for manufacturers who need to quickly change process lines. Features include long life drive motors that run only when needed and minimal maintenance requirements. The conveyor resolves issues such as heat dissipation, limited motor life span, lack of sufficient torque and the inability to use 1.375 inch rollers. EZ-Logic technology, featuring dynamic zone accumulation, is included....more

Conveyor with built-in transfer capacity
The space-saving Q-Squared series conveyor offers transfer and materials handling capabilities. Features include modular plug-and-play operation, audit/bypass functions and optional adjustable width. The conveyor’s built-in corner rotate, shuttle, elevator and lift gate options operate without control panels, supervisory PLCs or pneumatic distribution. It assembles, integrates and reconfigures without disrupting surrounding production lines. As a transfer conveyor or as a buffering return line on palletized assembly lines, the conveyor is ideal for applications including automotive component assembly and manufacturing environments....more

A 20-millimeter rolling knife edge transfers parts from in-feed to out-feed. To eliminate external interference, a compact center drive is located below the conveyor. Antistatic, FDA-suitable belt options include urethane, polyester and PVC with smooth woven and velvet surfaces. Standard belt curve is 90 degrees, with an optional 180 degree model available. Automatic belt tensioning accommodates stretch to reduce wear and ensure fixed installed dimension....more

Dock conveyor handles oversized loads
Used at the dock, a gravity-operated multi-functional conveyor assists loading and unloading large, oversized and unwieldy products directly to and from over-the-road trucks at docks. The system’s collapsible crossbar legs, rails and bi-directional 48 x 48 inch transfer cart are constructed of reinforced aluminum. It can be dismantled or re-assembled in 30 minutes without tooling for portability. Standard height of the conveyor is 40 inches, which may be raised in 2 inch increments to 48 inches. The conveyor handles a maximum load capacity of 4,000 pounds. ...more
