Gravity Conveyors

Gravity roller conveyors use the force of gravity to convey a load from A to B. They can be used to decouple the unloading process in the container from the palletizing process on the inbound floor. This is typically usefull for manual unloading of multi-SKU containers.

Flexible conveyors

Flexible roller conveyors have a scissor frame that is able to withdraw and extend like an accordion. Depending on the roller diameter and pitch, they are able to realize an extension ratio of 1:2 to 1:3. There are powered and non-powered (gravity) versions available.
