Expanding Roller Conveyor Systems

The expanding roller conveyors and expanding skatewheel conveyors are very flexible and can greatly help your temporary conveying needs.

If you need a conveyor from time to time but not permanently, this could be the solution. These flexible roller conveyors have attachments such as connector plates and end stops that can be removed or repositioned if required. 

Automation Supplies only offer robust constructions for their mobile powered roller conveyors and mobile gravity expandable conveyors. There are low cost conveyors available, but our experience is that you really get what you pay for here, and there are many sagging examples of these conveyors out there that show how quality is an inescapable essential with these conveyors. 

Flexible roller and skatewheel conveyors provide cost effective flexible conveying solutions for a variety of products and materials handling applications such as loose loading and unloading of delivery vehicles, warehouse and factory handling applications and linking between packaging and other factory machinery. 

Above are 3 similar looking conveyors but they are different for different jobs. Gravity rollers can transport most objects easily and the adjustable stands and use of connecting plates and end stops make these conveyors very popular. The centre conveyor is a skatewheel version of the same dimensions. With a lower weight capacity these conveyors are preferred where the product might not have a totally flat bottom. The option on the right is motor powered and can be plugged in and ready to go in seconds. If you have a long run or a slight incline, this is the option for you. It might be more expensive true, but one operator can stand at the end of the line and load or unload without the need for other operators.
