Who needs gravity conveyors? Any firm that needs to transport products or work in process from one to another work area. Some applications require power, however many customers use gravity conveyors with a mini roller coaster concept, whereby gravity does the work – or just to make moving product easier than using a Platform truck. We provide not only Heavy duty gravity conveyors that handle over 2,500 pounds per roller, but also the smallest mini gravity conveyors on the market. Our mini gravity conveyors have a .750 inch roller diameter for those light, small loads. How else would you convey a 6 inch long box?
Buying gravity conveyor is a very easy proposition. The first step is to understand that A Plus Warehouse is the best source. The next step is to consider your shortest and widest box. You should have a between frame dimension greater than your maximum width, and with the shortest length box, you still need to have 3 rollers under the load. Select a roller center to accommodate this rule. The final step is just to make sure the correct capacity is chosen, as well as the type material required – steel, aluminum or stainless steel.
There are many firms that produce gravity conveyors, and they all produce similar product. The key is to choose a dealer that stocks your product, so you can get delivery now. After all, do you want delivery now, or someday? So, if you are Between Los Angeles and Boston or Dallas and Chicago – A Plus Warehouse has your gravity conveyors in stock, and is ready to ship now!
Gravity conveyors are part of an integrated conveying system including power conveyors, diverters, accumulating sections, and perhaps even conveyor bridges. We also sell cross over ladders that are used to cross over conveyor system components. Many people need Production Tables along side their gravity conveyors as well. In this way, workers are able to do productive work along side the gravity conveyor system. Let’s consider how conveyors are such an important part of your materials handling system. Of course work in process starts at the loading dock. We sell the Dock Boards, Dock Bumpers and Dock Levelers you need to safely and efficient unload your trucks. You may then unload the truck with the help of our Expandable Conveyor or perhaps a gravity conveyors section. From there you may well need to access the product with a Jib Crane and Hoist. Then you may well store the product on our shelving and racks. Gravity conveyors, then are a very important part of the total system.
