Pallet Gravity Roller Conveyor
Pallet Gravity Roller Conveyor (or Non-Driven Pallet Roller Conveyor), is a cost effective way to improve pallet handling efficiency. Around the UK, various pallet types are used to move goods. Most commonly used types are standard Euro and UK pallets. Both Euro and UK pallets can be wooden or plastic, but they will be the same overall dimensions regardless of the material they are made from.
Pallet movements within a warehouse or factory, generally require the use of manual pallet trucks or fork lift trucks (FLT). Both truck types require a human operator to control the truck, resulting in a large amount of non-value adding activities being performed by operators. In some operations, there are multiple touch points of pallets through processes. Meaning a lot of time is wasted just moving pallets around. This is where pallet gravity roller conveyors come in, removing a large portion of non-value adding activities from operators, as the need for pallet trucks is significantly reduced.
Non-driven pallet roller conveyor is a very cost effective way to reduce the amount of handling that is required by human operated pallet trucks. Gravity roller conveyors for pallets can be used to assist operators with the movements of pallets around a warehouse or factory. Operators can simply push a pallet from one process to another, without the need for manual pallet trucks or FLT. Operators are still required to push the pallets, but the time to move the pallets from point A to point B is significantly reduced.
Non-driven pallet roller conveyors can also be used as a storage buffer, installing a declined run of non-driven conveyor will allow the conveyor to accumulate pallets along its length, with a single loading point, and a single offloading point. a declines section of conveyor can also provide a very cost effective means of transporting pallets over a specified distance.
