Designed for heavy loads and complex workflows, they streamline operations, reduce manual handling, and ensure smooth, reliable performance – delivering measurable gains and a strong return on investment. Implementing pallet handling conveyor systems offers several quantifiable benefits:

• 40% Productivity Boost: Streamlined workflows drive efficiency, eliminating bottlenecks and accelerating throughput. By integrating automation, businesses can achieve 25-40% faster order fulfillment and greater operational agility.

• 25% Increase in Space Utilization: Efficient pallet flow on conveyors can free up valuable warehouse space by optimizing storage and movement of goods.  

• 100% Scalability: With appropriate design, pallet conveyor systems can be customized and expanded to accommodate changing production needs and future growth. 

Cost Saving Advantages

Implementing pallet handling conveyors leads to significant cost reductions by decreasing reliance on manual labor, minimizing product damage, and enhancing overall operational efficiency. The automation of heavy load transport reduces labor costs and lowers the risk of injury-related expenses, contributing to a more cost-effective operation.

• 20% Decrease in Product Damage: Gentle, consistent handling minimizes mishaps, preserving product integrity and reducing waste. Translating into 20% reduction of cost through fewer returns, lower replacement costs, and enhanced customer satisfaction.

• 50% Labor Cost Reduction: Automation slashes manual handling demands, cutting labor expenses by 20-50% while reallocating workforce to higher-value tasks. Resulting in a leaner, more cost-effective operation with optimized resource utilization.

• 30% Workplace Injury Reduction: Automated systems take the strain off personnel by handling heavy loads, significantly lowering injury rates by up to 30%. A safer environment means fewer disruptions, improved morale, and long-term cost savings.

Pallet Conveyor Types

Pallet handling conveyors come in a variety of types, each designed to tackle specific operational challenges with precision and efficiency. From rugged chain-driven systems built for heavy-duty loads to PLV or slat solutions ideal for varying product sizes, there’s a pallet conveyor to fit every need. Whether you require seamless accumulation, transfers, or multi-directional movement, these systems provide the adaptability to keep operations running smoothly and efficiently.

• Drag-Chain Conveyor: Used for heavy-duty pallet handling, up to 6000 lbs, and a great solution for loads not easily conveyed on roller conveyors. Allows products to be moved between different conveyor lines or sections within a system, often at a 90-degree angle.

• Chain-Driven Powered Roller: Perfect for handling pallets, heavy components, drums, and other unit loads. With chain-driven rollers, they deliver the strength and reliability needed to move the heaviest loads with ease.

• Gravity Roller Conveyors: Provides an economic pallet solution and are easy to install and relocate since they don’t contain motorized parts.

• Poly-V Belt Conveyor (PLV) or Slat: Optimal for light-duty pallet handling when low maintenance or a quieter conveyor is needed.

Enhanced Conveyor Automation

By automating the transport of diverse pallet load types, these systems streamline operations, reduce costs, and adapt to the evolving needs of various industries. Investing in a tailored pallet handling conveyor solution positions businesses to enhance productivity and maintain a competitive edge.

• Bar Code Scanners and RFID Systems: Integrated scanning solutions that track and identify pallets in real-time, supporting inventory management and logistics tracking.

• Sensors and Controls: Integrated sensors and control systems monitor pallet position, speed, and accumulation, enabling automated handling and optimizing throughput.

• Pallet Stops: Mechanically or pneumatically operated stops that control pallet flow, allowing for accumulation, staging, or separation at specific points along the conveyor.

• Load Accumulators: Designed to buffer palletized loads, allowing for smoother processing in high-throughput operations and preventing congestion.

• Transfer Units: Devices such as chain or roller transfers that enable pallets to be moved between conveyor lines at right angles, facilitating multi-directional movement.

• Powered Turntables: Motorized versions of turntables that automatically adjust the orientation of pallets without manual intervention, enhancing automation.

• Lifting Stations: Vertical lifts or scissor lifts that raise or lower pallets to different elevations, supporting multi-level conveyor systems and ergonomic handling.
