Idle roller conveyors are the simplest solution to internal material handling. As they are not automated, items will have to be pushed by the operator or, when possible, take advantage of gravity thanks to slight slopes (hence the name gravity roller conveyors).
The simplicity of their structure and set-up makes idle roller conveyors the most popular transportation system among businesses in the material handling sector.
Hand trucks that can be moved freely without track constraints. The fact that they do not require tracks makes them a useful and versatile choice in departments with limited space and many off-line processes. A mechanical locking system of the rollers stops transported materials from overturning.
Placed along idle roller conveyor lines, they are used to rotate material and are especially useful to prepare for the next department or manufacturing stage. They can also be used to rotate items 90° and continue along the line if limited space does not allow the use of curves.
Ideal to manage department workflows. A single cart can feed multiple roller conveyors, even across departments located far from each other. They can have fixed or rotating platforms.
Ideal for medium loads, idle rollers and curves can be used to move materials at ground or working height, depending on whether they are transporting piles of materials or final products.
