Benefits of Flexible Gravity Conveyor
Flexible gravity conveyor’s capability to expand and contract helps to make it easy to fit any area within a warehouse. The flexibility allows the conveyor to be able to maneuver and transport objects all around warehouse obstacles. Unlike most conveyors, flexible conveyors can be manipulated into curved configurations to deliver materials to numerous loading/unloading docks. Flex gravity conveyors don’t need additional power, making them perfect temporary conveyors in any warehouse space its needed. Used flexible gravity conveyors can be set up at a decline and at various angles and bends to have products flow automatically from an area of high elevation to low elevation. They can also be set up horizontally for products to be pushed, which is ideal for areas where products need to be manipulated manually.
The ability to move loads without motor power will be a huge cost savings for your facility. A gravity conveyor moves the load without using motor power resources, typically down an inclination or through workers manually pushing the load along a flat flexible gravity conveyor. These types of conveyors can use skatewheels or full rollers.
Flexible gravity conveyors can be used in more than just loading and unloading trucks. Some other areas you can use flexible gravity conveyors to increase productivity in your facility are:
- Warehouse Transportation
- Order Picking
- Pick Modules
- Receiving/Shipping
- Order Fulfillment
Types of Flexible Conveyors
Flexible Gravity Roller Conveyors
Unlike flexible power roller conveyors, the flexible gravity roller conveyors can expand, contract, and curve to get loads where they need to be. Ideally, they are used for packaging, assembly, and small to standard volume shipping and receiving.
Flexible Gravity Skatewheel Conveyors
Gravity flow skatewheel conveyor is an inexpensive alternative for transporting lightweight boxes, trays, or totes. Used widely in shipping/receiving and assembly areas, the skatewheel conveyors decrease physical material handling of lightweight objects across short distances.
Why Buy Used Flexible Gravity Conveyor
Why buy used? You might ask yourself this question, and the only straightforward answer is that it saves you money. You might ask, am I really getting the same quality? Will it really work just as well? The answer is always yes when buying from a trusted used dealer like ASI. All used conveyors are cleaned, inspected, and tested prior to packaging and shipment. Most used conveyor is backed by a 30 day ASI guarantee. If any parts are found defective, ASI will replace it with another used part at no cost to the purchaser.
