Gravity roller conveyors are ideal for the inclusion into assembly or order fulfilment work stations. Including the use of roller conveyors results in the reduction of manual handling, and subsequently the improvement of personnel working ergonomics.
The workstation can also include packing aids, scales, lighting, and IT equipment, and as a result yields additional productivity improvements.
These units are designed to suit your specific requirements. Ideal in this case to improve productivity and ergonomics whilst also reducing operator manual handling, giving ongoing payback on your investment.

The conveyor lift up gate. Allows for access through fixed conveyor lines. These are generally for warehouse pathways or emergency access routes.
Spaceguard lift up gates are manufactured using a pivot bush. Giving additional strength to the gate. The weight of the gate section is supported by industrial gas springs. This as a result makes the gate light to operate. When positioning the gate - note should be taken to the product on the conveyor. To ensure it doesn't fall off.
Incidentally it may be possible to use the gate section as a stop. This section of roller track should also only be used in horizontal applications with either gravity or driven roller.

An alternative to gravity rollers is skate wheels. Skate wheels are suitable for lighter loads, and are available in zinc plated steel or PVC. They generally move faster than standard rollers, and are used for flat bottom items. They can also handle items that are wider than the width of the conveyor

A gravity conveyor is an un-powered roller conveyor which uses either manual force, or gravity decline to move products along the conveyor. As a rule, when used on an incline the product must have sufficient weight to allow the conveyor rollers to turn. Additional braking may be required if particularly heavy loads are used.
Please see our full conveyor product range for other types of roller conveyor.
Gravity conveyors can be made to order to suit your space or project requirements.
