Skate Wheel Conveyor

The skate wheel conveyor is often preferred for its convenience and efficiency in lightweight applications, this conveyor type is suitable for moving products that tend to have flat bottoms like boxes, totes and crates. Skatewheel conveyors have a lower-friction, easier rolling mechanism than other roller types, making them less reliant on slope for their operation, with free-spinning skate wheels for quick transportation. The presence of an independent, mounted wheel rotates to provide better tracking with packages. The lightweight construction of skatewheel conveyors make them much easier to move when being used in temporary applications; Also, the addition of hook and rod couplers and tripod supports, assists in quick teardowns and installations. Skatewheel conveyors are available in styles with curved, spurs and straight sections.
