Handling & Use Requirements

Equipment must be used within rated load capacities and installed on suitable warehouse flooring. Improper loading, uneven distribution, or use outside intended applications can result in structural failure.

Inspect all shipments upon delivery and note any freight damage before signing. Installation and final configuration should be verified by qualified personnel to ensure safe operation.

Delivery & Freight Shipping

All equipment ships via LTL or dedicated freight carriers and is delivered curbside or dock-high depending on facility setup. Liftgate service is not included unless specifically requested at the time of quote.

You are responsible for unloading the shipment and must have appropriate equipment (forklift or dock access) available at delivery. Failure to meet delivery requirements may result in re-delivery fees.

Description

Portable Flexible Gravity Conveyors for Loading, Unloading & Temporary Conveyor Lines

18" width flexible gravity conveyors are designed for warehouses, shipping stations, packaging lines, and temporary material handling applications where fixed conveyor systems are impractical. These expandable gravity conveyors provide a portable solution for moving cartons, totes, boxes, and packaged products through loading docks, assembly operations, and fulfillment workflows.

Unlike permanent conveyor systems, flexible gravity conveyors can expand, collapse, curve, and reposition as operational requirements change. The conveyor folds down for compact storage when not in use, making it well-suited for changing layouts, temporary shipping lanes, seasonal demand increases, and limited floor space.

Best Applications for Flexible Gravity Conveyors

Loading and unloading trailers
Temporary shipping and receiving lines
Packaging and assembly operations
Warehouse overflow handling
Ecommerce fulfillment stations
Sortation and carton movement
Mobile conveyor line extensions
Seasonal or temporary conveyor setups

When Not to Use Flexible Gravity Conveyors

Powered conveying applications
Incline applications requiring controlled speeds
Pallet handling
Loads exceeding rated capacity
Permanent high-speed automated conveyor systems
Products with unstable or irregular bottom surfaces

Facilities requiring continuous powered movement or high-throughput automation should use powered conveyor systems instead.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What products work best on flexible gravity conveyors?

Flexible gravity conveyors are designed for cartons, boxes, totes, and packaged products with stable flat bottoms. Do not use them for pallets or unstable products that cannot roll consistently across skate wheels.

Can flexible gravity conveyors replace powered conveyor systems?

Flexible gravity conveyors are intended for temporary or mobile material handling applications. They are not designed for continuous powered automation or high-speed production environments.

Are flexible gravity conveyors suitable for loading docks?

Yes. Flexible gravity conveyors are commonly used for trailer loading and unloading because they can curve, reposition, and collapse for storage. They should only be used within their rated load capacity.

Can these conveyors stay installed permanently?

Flexible gravity conveyors are designed for portable and temporary conveyor workflows. Facilities requiring permanent conveyor lines should use fixed conveyor systems instead.
