Buying Guide

Choose width for your load footprint

Match conveyor or skate wheel width to the pallet, carton, or tote dimensions—options here range from 12" to 24" to accommodate narrow to medium inventory widths

Pick roller diameter for smooth handling

Roller size (for example 1.5" diameter rollers in some models) affects how easily small or irregular items track and how weight is distributed across the line

Consider frame length and modular runs

Available lengths include 3' and 5' sections; shorter modules work for pop‑up stations while longer 5' frames reduce joints for continuous gravity flow

Check material and finish for environment

Galvanized rollers and steel frames resist corrosion in humid or workshop settings and are appropriate for general industrial inventory transport

Balance capacity and light‑duty needs

These light‑duty gravity conveyors suit low to moderate loads; confirm manufacturer weight capacity for repetitive pallet or carton handling
