Powered roller conveyors, also called live roller conveyors, use motor-driven rollers to transport goods efficiently along a desired path. They deliver safe, automated material handling solutions ranging from simple transportation conveyors to large, intelligent systems optimized for high-volume processing and complex routings. Available in many different styles, drive types, and configurations, they are designed for permanent installation and should be constructed for your specific workspace and optimal flow. Powered roller conveyors are used in distribution and manufacturing facilities to streamline order fulfillment, material movement, pallet handling, and many other transportation, accumulation, and sortation needs.
Quickly customized for your materials, flow, & budget.
Powered roller overview:
-
Construction:
- Comprises a series of powered steel rollers within a steel frame; suited for light to heavy-duty applications
- Industrial motors and drive systems ensure lasting performance and include: belt-driven, chain-driven, shaft-driven, and electric-zoned solutions
- 15" - 67" standard between rail widths
- Sections easily connect to create the length required to optimize your space
- Ability to transfer capacities up to 2,000 lbs. per linear foot
- Adjustable floor supports and ceiling hangers enable proper mounting
- Rollers equipped with sealed, pre-lubricated ball bearings
- Conveyor equipment to be utilized determined by your specific materials and needs; from simple to complex we handle it all
⚠️ To maintain optimal and safe performance, a minimum of 3 rollers should be placed under the load at any time.
