Handling & Use Requirements
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
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.

24-Inch Gravity Wheel Conveyors for Cartons, Totes & Lightweight Warehouse Flow
Gravity Wheel 24" Conveyor Systems are designed for manual and gravity-assisted movement of lightweight cartons, totes, boxes, and packaged products in warehouse, fulfillment, packaging, and shipping operations. These conveyor sections use free-spinning skate wheels to move products without powered motors, making them a cost-effective solution for temporary lines, packing stations, assembly areas, and flexible warehouse flow paths.
This system is configured specifically for lightweight unit handling with stable, flat-bottom products. Straight sections and curved conveyor sections can be combined to create custom gravity flow layouts for distribution centers, ecommerce fulfillment operations, manufacturing support lines, and shipping departments.
Available Gravity Wheel Conveyor Styles
Straight Gravity Wheel Conveyor Sections
Straight gravity wheel conveyor sections create direct product flow paths between workstations, packing stations, sortation areas, shipping lanes, and warehouse transfer zones.
- Carton transfer lines
- Order fulfillment operations
- Packaging stations
- Shipping departments
- Temporary conveyor setups
- Assembly support operations
45° Gravity Wheel Curve Conveyor Sections
45-degree gravity wheel conveyor curves allow gradual directional changes while maintaining continuous product flow. Use these sections where conveyor lines need moderate turns between workstations or around space constraints.
90° Gravity Wheel Curve Conveyor Sections
90-degree gravity wheel conveyor curves are used for major directional transitions, corner routing, multi-station layouts, and warehouse flow redirection. Product stability is critical when using 90-degree curves because unstable, soft-bottom, or unevenly weighted products may not track consistently.
Common Applications
- Ecommerce fulfillment centers
- Warehouse packing stations
- Carton handling operations
- Shipping departments
- Assembly support lines
- Distribution centers
- Packaging operations
- Sortation areas
- Temporary conveyor lines
- Manual product transfer zones
System Construction & Design
Gravity wheel conveyors use multiple independently rotating skate wheels mounted within formed steel side channels. The wheel design minimizes rolling resistance while supporting manual and gravity-assisted product movement.
- Formed galvanized steel frames
- Heavy-duty steel side channels
- Multiple wheel density configurations
- Straight and curved conveyor sections
- Modular expandable layout capability
Curved sections are commonly available with 4-foot or 5-foot outside radius configurations. Wheel spacing and wheel density directly affect product support and conveyor performance.
Operational Advantages
- Manual product flow without power: Moves products without powered motors, reducing energy use and simplifying installation.
- Flexible conveyor layouts: Straight and curved sections can be combined into custom warehouse flow paths.
- Lightweight system design: Easier to reposition than many powered or heavy-duty roller conveyor systems.
- Low maintenance operation: Fewer moving components than powered conveyor systems.
