Gravity Conveyors
No motor required—gravity does the work, which keeps cost down and makes these a natural fit for loading docks and temporary setups.
Why Choose Gravity Conveyors
Gravity conveyor uses a slight downward pitch to move cartons or pallets along a bed of rollers or skate wheels with no motor at all. Product moves under its own weight, guided and slowed as needed by the incline and roller spacing.
Without power requirements or controls, gravity conveyor is the lowest-cost, fastest-to-deploy conveyor type available—portable sections are common at loading docks, unloading zones, and temporary or seasonal setups where a fixed powered line isn't justified.
