Skatewheel Conveyors

Skatewheel conveyor that moves flat-bottomed cartons and totes on free-spinning wheels with no power. Light, easy to reposition, with flexible and curved sections for tight spaces.

Overview

Enhance Workflow with Deluxe Systems’ Skatewheel Conveyors

Skatewheel conveyor moves flat-bottomed cartons, totes, and packages on rows of free-spinning wheels, with no power required. The wheels give lower rolling resistance than rollers for light loads, so product moves with a light push or a slight pitch.

It is light, easy to reposition, and a fit for shipping lanes, pack stations, and temporary or flexible setups. Curved and flexible sections route product around corners and expand or contract to fit the space, and the wheel beds splice into roller and powered runs where a line needs both. Best suited to firm, flat-bottomed items that track straight on the wheels.

Why It Matters
