Conveyor Rollers
The conveyor rollers used within Gravity roller conveyors ordinarily have a spring loaded shaft for easy removal, or a female threaded shaft.
We manufacture and supply a wide range of conveyor rollers to suit all applications, please see the conveyor rollers page to learn more, or contact our helpful sales team with details of your requirements.
Gravity Skate Wheel Conveyors
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
Flexible Conveyors
Flexible conveyors expand and flex allowing them to bend to suit the environment or application. They are mounted on castors for ease of maneuverability.

Special use gravity roller systems
As well as bespoke roller conveyors, Spaceguard also manufactures products for managing waste fluids. For example, coolants and oils.
In this area Spaceguard has many years of experience. We also deliver solutions which safely and cleanly manage liquids within your production areas.
Previous uses include for example, aircraft wheels, and machined engine parts. Also for paint production, and oil manufacturing. Delivering to you robust special application roller conveyors which especially suit your needs.
Gravity storage roller racking
Gravity roller racking provides an ideal solution for assembly cells and also order fulfillment lines. It is up to 80% more productive compared to conventional static racking.
The use of Carton flow racking also allows staff to be more productive by reducing manual handling. As a UK manufacturer Spaceguard is able to build first in first out, or push back racking, to suit your specific products.
Lean Gravity Conveyor Workstations
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.
Pedestrian access lift up gates
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.
Transfer Cars
The Roller Conveyor Transfer Car runs on floor mounted tracks to travel between the gravity lines. Built to suit application, for example, board handling.
Other Gravity Roller Conveyor System Accessories
Fixed End Stop - Bar fixed across the end of conveyor to stop product
Roller End Stop - Used to aid in removing product from the end of the conveyor
Roller Brake - Used to stop a bank of rollers for production accumulation.
