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.
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.
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.
Roller Conveyor Merges
The 30 º and 45 º Roller Conveyor Merge is used to bring two conveyor lines together.
Flexible Conveyors

Conveyor 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.
Ball Transfer Tables
Ball Transfer Tables have rolling balls instead of straight parallel rollers. They're ideal for use with loading or feeding machines or for moving goods & materials.
Frame:
Welded Mild Steel
Ball Diameter:
22mm
Ball Pitch:
150mm, 100mm, 75mm, 52mm
Load Rating:
40kg per ball
Ball Table Configuration:
Square or Diamond
Roller Conveyor Transfer Car
The Roller Conveyor Transfer Car runs on floor mounted tracks to travel between the gravity lines. Built to suit application, for example, board handling.
Roller Turntable
For changing the direction or turning items, can be used as part of a gravity roller conveyor system.
Gravity Skate Wheel
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
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.
Conveyor Rollers
The Conveyor rollers used within Gravity roller conveyors ordinarily have a spring loaded shaft for easy removal, or a female threaded shaft.

What is a Gravity 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.
