Used Incline Conveyor

incline conveyor

Incline conveyors move product with increased safety between various floors of a warehouse, storage facility, and distribution center. This conveyor type effortlessly unloads, heavier material or inventory at desired heights without needing the involvement of a facility employees. Incline conveyors give the ability of controlling transportation of products from floor level to a mezzanine, platform, or building to building. This saves valuable floor space and time by conveying products to an overhead location without the use of a forklift. Incline conveyors are perfect for industrial facilities with multiple levels elevating the need for an inclined belt conveyor. This type of conveyor will help to curtail onsite injuries of workers as they’ll no longer be at risk of lifting heavy materials to different levels. Ideally these are used in manufacturing plants, transportation, distribution centers, packaging lines, metal stamping, and any area/environment that requires an elevation change.

About Incline Conveyors

Used incline conveyor manufacturers include Buschman, Mathews, Rapistan, and Speedway. American Surplus stocks these brands along with Hytrol, Ermanco, ACSI, and Interlake. Design and installation of used belt over roller conveyor, by trained professionals, is available nationwide.

Incline conveyors may also be referred to as: incline conveyor with hopper, stairway conveyor, used belt conveyor equipment, and incline conveyor belt.

Incline conveyors convey products and materials between floors, mezzanines, work platforms, docks, or overhead conveyor lines. There are many factors to consider when picking the right incline conveyor, and many options to choose from to meet your specific material handling needs.

Some of the common styles of incline conveyor belts include cleated, plastic, wire, and synthetic. The material chosen for the belt typically depends on the material being transported, and the angle of incline or decline. In general, cleated incline belts are also recommended for any application where the product is being transported at an angle steeper than 30 degrees.

Note: If packaging is bulky or top heavy, it is not recommended to set the angle close to 30 degrees. We can help you determine the appropriate weight and size capabilities of your used incline conveyor. The type of material being transported also determines the maximum incline that can be used. For example, plastic bins and totes slip the easiest, cardboard boxes grip a little bit better, and rubber products tend to grip the conveyor the best.

Used incline conveyors may come with adjustable speed controls. The variable speed option should be chosen in situations where product needs to be slowed down or stopped so it can be weighed, packaged, handled manually, etc.

Why buy used incline belt conveyor? Conveyor can be pretty expensive when designing an entire system, or even just purchasing a few sections. Used incline belt conveyor from ASI is around half the cost of new, and is cleaned, tested, and inspected to ensure quality. We understand that you may be skeptical when considering buying used, but we can ensure you that if you work with ASI you will be satisfied with your purchase. Saving you money is our main goal, and has led American Surplus to success for over 30 years.
