    Use rails to convey packages and pallets in flow racks and confined spaces. They are easier to maneuver and take up less area than a full conveyor.
    Note: Capacities are based on a fully supported rail.

    Galvanized Steel Frame—Rails with a galvanized steel frame have a thick coating for more corrosion resistance than rails with a power-coated frame.
    Style D—Style D rails have a flange that extends beyond the wheel to keep material flowing along the channel.

    Flanged-Wheel Flow Rails

    The flange on the wheels separates and guides packages as they flow down the rails. Rails are a lightweight solution when you don't need a complete conveyor in confined spaces such as flow racks and assembly areas. The flange location is based on facing the unloading end of the rail.
    Note: Capacities are based on a fully supported rail.

    Multidirectional Flow Rails

    Rotate materials in any direction on these flow rails. Use them to convey packages and pallets in flow racks, assembly areas, and confined spaces.
    Note: Capacities are based on a fully supported rail.

    Flange Mount Ball Transfer

    Ball transfers rotate to accommodate changes in direction.
    Threaded-Stud Mount Ball Transfer—Threaded-stud-mount ball transfers are attached to the rail with a stud and nut.
    Flange Mount Ball Transfer—Flange mount ball transfers are riveted in place.
