Ideal for warehouses, production lines, and distribution centers, gravity roller conveyors enhance workflow and require minimal maintenance—boosting productivity and workplace safety. Models available for light to heavy-duty applications.
Easily customized for your materials, flow, & budget.
Gravity roller overview:
-
Construction:
- Comprises a series of steel rollers within a steel frame; available in light, medium, and heavy-duty constructions to suit an array of material needs
- 16" - 54" standard overall widths in lengths of 5' and 10' sections; ensure product width does not exceed roller width
- Up to 620 lbs. live load capacity per foot and 250 lbs. load per per roller
- Frames can be joined with additional sections; available in straight, spur, or curved configurations
- Optional adjustable ground supports allow you to create the perfect gravity decline or flat work area
- Rollers are equipped with ball bearings and spring-loaded axles for easy removal and replacement
⚠️ To maintain optimal and safe performance, a minimum of 3 rollers should be placed under the load at any time. Closer roller spacing reduces the risk of oddly shaped materials getting stuck when being transported.
-
Benefits:
- Ideal for moving an array of light to heavy packages and materials, including uneven, and irregularly shaped items
- Requires no power and relies on gravity or manually-assisted action to move products, making it an economical solution
- Less manual exertion required for employees versus manual handling, reducing costly injuries
- Easily incorporated into existing workflows and spaces
- Highly flexible and reconfigurable as operational needs or flow changes
- Can be integrated with ball transfer tables for free spinning and efficient routing of packages on your conveyors
-
Options:
- Large variety of standard sizes are in stock and ready to ship
- Configureable for your specific application and products, including setting rollers high or low in the frame
- Roller spacing options of 1.5" - 6" (on center) depending on series; ensure at least 3 rollers support material at all times
- Steel or aluminum frames and varying sized rollers ensure capacity requirements and budget are met
- Variety of standard powder coat colors available
- Accessories include: end stops to prevent cartons from falling off end of conveyor; guard rails to prevent items from sliding off; and stationary or tripod floor stands
