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.

Inspect all items upon arrival before signing the Bill of Lading. Any visible damage must be noted at delivery—claims cannot be processed after acceptance without documentation.

Lead times vary based on product type, configuration, and supplier availability. You will receive confirmation of estimated ship dates after order review.

Description

Medium-Duty Galvanized Gravity Conveyor for Warehouse Product Flow

The 5' Medium Duty Straight Section Galvanized Gravity Roller Conveyor is designed for non-powered product movement in warehouses, distribution centers, assembly operations, and industrial material handling environments. This conveyor section uses gravity to move cartons, totes, packages, and other stable loads without motors or powered drive systems.

Galvanized steel rollers help protect against corrosion in humid or lightly corrosive environments while maintaining smooth product movement. The 3" roller centers support common medium-duty conveying applications in fulfillment, packaging, shipping, receiving, and manufacturing areas.

How Gravity Roller Conveyors Operate?

Gravity roller conveyors use free-spinning rollers to move products manually or by gravity without motors or powered drives. Products travel across the rollers using slight decline angles or operator push movement, making these conveyors ideal for low-maintenance warehouse and material handling applications.

Best-Fit Applications

Warehouse order fulfillment lines
Packing and shipping stations
Assembly operations
Distribution centers
Shipping and receiving lanes
Manual material transfer areas
Expandable gravity conveyor layouts

When to Use This Conveyor

Use when non-powered product movement is acceptable.
Use when handling cartons, totes, bins, or stable flat-bottom products.
Use when galvanized rollers are needed for added corrosion resistance.
Use when a modular conveyor section is needed for a warehouse, packing, or assembly layout.

When Not to Use This Conveyor

Do not use for powered conveying applications requiring controlled product speed.
Do not use for extremely small products that cannot bridge the 3" roller centers.
Do not use on steep inclines where products may accelerate uncontrollably.
Do not use in washdown food-grade environments requiring stainless steel construction.
Do not exceed the published conveyor load capacities.

Support and Configuration Notes

Optional conveyor supports are available for this conveyor section. Conveyor supports must match the BF, or Between Frame, width of the conveyor section being ordered.

Proper support spacing is required to maintain the published load capacities and conveyor performance. Larger systems should be reviewed based on product size, product weight, flow direction, throughput requirements, operator access, and facility layout.

📚 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What products work best on gravity roller conveyors?

Gravity roller conveyors work best with cartons, totes, bins, and stable flat-bottom products. Extremely small or irregular products may fail to move consistently across roller spacing.

When should galvanized rollers be used instead of painted rollers?

Use galvanized rollers in humid or lightly corrosive environments where standard painted rollers may wear prematurely. Do not use galvanized rollers as a substitute for stainless steel in washdown applications.

Can this conveyor be used on an incline?

This conveyor can be used on slight declines for gravity flow applications. Excessive incline angles may cause uncontrolled product acceleration and unsafe operation.

What is the difference between BF and OAW width?

BF (Between Frame) width measures the usable internal conveyor width. OAW (Overall Width) measures the total outside conveyor width including the frame.

Do conveyor supports need to match conveyor width?

Yes. Conveyor supports must match the BF width of the conveyor section to ensure proper installation and load support.

When should powered conveyor systems be used instead of gravity conveyor?

Powered conveyor systems should be used when applications require controlled product speed, automated accumulation, high throughput, or integration with automated warehouse systems. Gravity conveyors are best suited for manual or gravity-assisted product flow.
