Gravity Conveyors: Move Stock Without Power

Instead of drives, gravity conveyors use — you guessed it — gravity to move product. These systems generally come in roller and skate wheel types. Gravity conveyor is both versatile and cost-effective and provides solutions for light to medium loads, and heavy loads.

We carry used gravity conveyors of all types, including roller conveyor, skatewheel, pallet gravity, curves, spurs, stands and more.

Some of the brands in our used selection include:

  • Hytrol
  • Buschman
  • HK

Used Gravity Conveyors FAQs

What's the Average Load Capacity for a Gravity Conveyor?

Gravity conveyors work well with a variety of materials from flat bottomed boxes to uneven pallets, drums and more. When it comes to overall load capacity, though, you’ll need to consider a few factors. Changes in roller size, spacing and width between the frame all play a role in determining the overall capacity of a conveyor. Typically, you can expect an average load capacity of around 3,000 lbs.

How Should You Pick a Gravity Conveyor?

Here are some things to consider when choosing your gravity conveyor:

  • Choose width by accessing product dimensions. You’ll want around 1 inch of clearance on each side.
  • Plan out your conveyor system using common sizing increments of 5 feet and 10 feet. You can also use curved sections to facilitate specific layouts.
  • Consider frame materials. Manufacturers usually make frames out of durable steel, but you may find aluminum conveyors for lighter-weight construction.

Can You Customize a Gravity Conveyor System for a Specific Application?

Developing custom installations for your facility’s layout is easy to accomplish with gravity conveyors. Using different lengths of conveyor and curved segments means fitting to even the most difficult warehouse environments is possible. Additional design choices like pitch and the choice between roller or skate wheel styles can help meet demands for different load requirements and material types. If you’re considering a custom installation, we can help with facility design and layout.

How is Gravity Conveyor Measured?

Gravity conveyor is generally measured OAW (overall width, which is outside frame to outside frame) by the length of the conveyor.

Do Gravity Conveyors Need Electricity to Operate?

No. As the name implies, gravity conveyors leverage gravity to move products from one area to another. The mechanical roller wheels mean you won’t need an electrical hookup to operate this piece of equipment.

Are There Different Types of Gravity Conveyors?

While all gravity conveyors will use gravity instead of electrical power, you’ll find several different types of conveyors on the market. You can find flexible conveyors built for portability or gravity roller conveyor systems made for permanent installation on your warehouse floor.

What is the Minimum Angle for Proper Operation?

Without gravity, gravity conveyors won’t work. To ensure you have the momentum to move product, always abide by manufacturer recommendations for the angle of decline. Generally speaking, though, the minimum angle of decline is around 5 degrees.
