Gravity Roller Conveyor

Gravity roller conveyor is a common material handling system, which is mainly composed of multiple metal or plastic rollers. The goods are automatically slid or pushed down by the force of gravity. This type of conveyor system does not require an external power source or other motorized equipment and can be directly installed on a flat surface. Therefore, it is usually used for the transportation of light to medium weight items such as packaging boxes, paper, lightweight mechanical parts, etc.

 

In logistics, gravity roller conveyors can be used in loading docks, warehouses, and distribution centers to move goods efficiently from one place to another. They help to reduce labor costs and increase productivity by automating the transportation process.

1. Easy to install: Gravity roller conveyors are easy to install on a flat surface and do not require any electrical power source or specialized installation.

    

    

2. Low maintenance: Since there are no motors or other moving parts, gravity roller conveyors require minimal maintenance.

    

3. Cost-effective: Compared to motorized conveyors, gravity roller conveyors are relatively inexpensive and require less energy to operate.

    

    

4. Versatility: Gravity roller conveyors can handle a wide range of products, including boxes, bags, and even irregularly shaped items.

    

5. Sustainability: Gravity roller conveyors use less energy and are a more environmentally friendly option compared to motorized conveyors.
