Buying Guide

Match roller diameter to load and handling

Roller diameter (e.g., 1.5") affects throughput and weight distribution—larger diameters roll smoother under heavier or uneven loads

Choose width and length for your workflow

Select conveyor widths (12"–24") and lengths (3'–5') that fit your product footprint and process layout to minimize transfers and handling

Prefer galvanized or steel frames for durability

Galvanized rollers and steel frames resist corrosion and hold up better in workshop or assembly-area environments than untreated metal

Consider gravity vs. powered conveyors

Gravity conveyors are cost-effective for moving items downhill or between workstations; choose powered systems only when controlled movement is required

Check roller spacing and construction

Tighter roller spacing improves support for small or flexible items; look for consistent roller spacing and solid axle construction for reliable operation
