    Flexible Roller Conveyors

    Expand, curve, and retract the accordion-style frame to position these conveyors wherever you need them. Snake them around obstacles in cramped areas, bend them into a horseshoe to connect two trailers, or stretch them out to extend an existing line. When they’re not in use, retract these conveyors down to a fraction of their length. Their rollers are designed to smoothly transfer flat objects or ones with uneven bottoms. Shipping tubes, drums, and pails are less likely to get stuck in between rollers than between skate wheels.
    Note: Weight capacities are based on an evenly distributed load. The length of the material you're conveying should be at least three times the roller spacing.

    An accordion-style frame lets you quickly curve, expand, and retract these conveyors. They have skate wheels for flat-bottom objects in assembly lines or packaging and shipping applications. A package stop on one end keeps boxes from sliding off.
    Note: Weight capacities are based on an evenly distributed load.

    Ready-to-Run Flexible Roller Conveyors

    Expand, retract, and curve these conveyors wherever you need them—they’re ready to run once you plug them in. These conveyors are ideal in situations where you need flexibility, such as loading and unloading trucks, connecting two trailers, or extending an existing line that you've outgrown. They have rollers to convey objects of different shapes and sizes in assembly, packaging, and shipping applications. To save space, these conveyors compress down to 8 1/2 ft. when they are not in use. They’re sometimes kept in storage as a backup line, so you can pull them out if other conveyors unexpectedly shut down.
    Grab the handles at each end to move these conveyors into place. The legs adjust to your desired height. Connecting hooks on each end can fasten them to other conveyors. Lock the casters to keep them in place. A knob on the controller face lets you adjust the speed. To prevent damage, sensors at the end of the conveyor will stop the rollers if a package is nearing the edge.
    Note: Weight capacities are based on an evenly distributed load. The length of the material you’re conveying should be at least three times the roller spacing.

    Fully Retracted

    Extend these conveyors more than 60 ft. to move items over long stretches and then retract them to a more compact 10 ft. for storage. Often used to load trailers, they’re best for light duty loading of boxes and other flat-bottomed objects. The first section of these conveyors features a roller conveyor extension. The rollers on the extension have a higher capacity than skate wheels to resist more impact as boxes are loaded onto the conveyor. A package stop on one end keeps boxes from sliding off. To facilitate positioning, these conveyors have handles and multidirectional wheels with rollers that rotate around the wheel core to allow movement in any direction. A floor lock keeps the conveyors in place.
