About Gravity Roller Conveyor

ASI carries a variety of manufacturers of used gravity roller conveyors. Some of the used conveyor we offer: Rapistan, Matthews, Automotion, Alvey, Bestflex, Hytrol, Omni, TWG, Roach, Metzgar, Bushman, and Ermanco gravity conveyor.

Gravity conveyor may also be referred to as: heavy duty roller conveyor, gravity roller conveyor parts, heavy duty gravity roller conveyor, gravity skate wheel conveyor, roller conveyor and non-powered conveyor

Gravity roller conveyor is a powerless free flowing conveyor system for transporting products throughout the warehouse. They can be set up at a decline 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 manually pushed, which is ideal for areas where products need to be manipulated manually. Gravity roller conveyor is used with power conveyor to make a complete conveyor system.

Gravity conveyor comes in two styles: skate wheel and roller. Skate wheel conveyor is very lightweight and is used for medium to lightweight applications. It contains many individually turning “skate” wheels per row to transport product. This style of gravity conveyor requires very little pitch to transport products automatically but can only be used with products that have a flat bottom, like boxes, binstrays, and totes. Skate wheel conveyor curves (45 and 90 degrees) can also be added to move products around corners or other obstacles within the warehouse.

Gravity roller conveyor is a little more heavy duty, and can also move loads either horizontally or at a decline. Roller conveyors allow for the transportation of products without a flat bottom, like pallets, and curves can also be added to the system (45 or 90 degrees). In addition to curved sections of gravity roller and gravity skate wheel conveyors, there is also flexible conveyor that comes in both roller and skate wheel. Flexible conveyor is also gravity powered, flexible around corners and other obstacles, and can expand and contract to custom lengths. This is ideal for setting up temporary conveyor lines near shipping and receiving areas to quickly and efficiently load and unload the trucks.

Why buy used? Most people these days are skeptical when they see a big price saving when buying used. All used conveyors are cleaned, inspected, and tested prior to being packaged and shipped. Any worn rollers or wheels are replaced, and used conveyor is backed by a 30 day ASI guarantee. If any parts are found defective, ASI will replace it with another pre-owned part.

Advantages of Gravity Roller Conveyor

Gravity roller conveyors offer several advantages in various industries and applications. Here are some of the key advantages:

  • Cost-Effective: Gravity roller conveyors are relatively simple in design and construction, which makes them cost-effective compared to more complex conveyor systems. They require less maintenance and have lower initial investment costs.
  • Low Power Consumption: Since gravity roller conveyors rely on the force of gravity to move items, they don't require motors or power sources, leading to minimal energy consumption and lower operational costs.
  • Quiet Operation: These conveyors operate quietly, making them suitable for environments where noise levels need to be minimized, such as retail spaces or quiet manufacturing areas.
  • Flexibility and Customization: Gravity roller conveyors are modular and easy to assemble. They can be configured in various layouts, including straight lines, curves, and even inclines or declines. This flexibility allows for custom setups tailored to specific space and operational requirements.
  • Low Maintenance: With fewer moving parts, gravity roller conveyors require less maintenance compared to powered conveyor systems. This translates to reduced downtime and lower maintenance costs.
  • Durability and Longevity: Gravity roller conveyors are typically constructed from robust materials like steel or aluminum, making them durable and capable of withstanding heavy loads and harsh environments.
  • Safe Handling of Goods: These conveyors are designed to provide gentle and controlled movement of goods, reducing the risk of damage to delicate or fragile items during transportation.
  • Zero Energy Accumulation: Gravity roller conveyors are ideal for situations where you want to create accumulation zones with zero energy consumption. Items accumulate naturally due to gravity, allowing for efficient staging and manual picking processes.
  • Employee Ergonomics: Gravity roller conveyors can help improve the ergonomics of material handling tasks by reducing the need for manual lifting and carrying. This can lead to a safer and more comfortable work environment for employees.
  • Integration with Other Systems: Gravity roller conveyors can be easily integrated with other types of conveyors or material handling equipment, such as powered conveyors, lifts, and sortation systems, to create more complex and efficient production or distribution processes.
  • Reduced Footprint: Gravity roller conveyors can be designed with a relatively small footprint, maximizing the utilization of available space in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, or retail environments.
  • Sustainability: Because they don't rely on electricity, gravity roller conveyors contribute to energy savings and can be considered a more environmentally friendly option compared to powered conveyor systems.
