Where the Chain Conveyor Excels

Heavy Pallet Transport

Built for sustained, high-load duty cycles where rollers struggle—handles full pallets, bulk loads and rugged bases with confidence.

Configurations & Integrations

Straight runs, accumulation sections, chain transfers and turntables; links cleanly to palletisers, stretch wrappers, infeed/outfeed lanes and safety systems.

Typical Applications

Warehouse infeed/outfeed, buffer zones before wrappers/palletisers, cross-docking, and manufacturing cells moving heavy or uneven-base pallets.

FAQs about the Chain Conveyor

Key answers on pallets, strands, bases, transfers, speeds, maintenance and safety.

Which pallet types are suitable?

Euro, CHEP and custom pallets with solid runners or bottom deckboards. For damaged or highly uneven bases, chain is often preferable to rollers.

Why triple-strand instead of two-strand?

Three strands improve stability and load distribution for heavier pallets and wider bases, reducing wear and skewing.

Can chain conveyors accumulate pallets?

Yes, with controlled accumulation and photo-eyes. For zero-pressure between pallets, we’ll design appropriate zones and controls.

What about transfers and direction changes?

Use chain transfers, turntables or right-angle cross-transfers to move pallets between perpendicular lines or rotate for orientation.

How do I choose the right speed?

Typical options are 12, 15 or 18 m/min. We match speed to throughput, stopping distance and downstream equipment.

What maintenance is required?

Periodic chain tension checks, lubrication to spec, inspection of polymer guides and sprockets, plus cleaning to keep debris clear.

Is painted steel suitable for my environment?

Painted steel is ideal for dry industrial areas. For washdown or corrosive settings, specify stainless steel constructions.

How is height adjusted on site?

The frames include adjustable feet/stands to set top-of-chain height within ~425–1,175 mm for smooth handshakes with adjacent equipment.

How are motors sized?

We select 0.75–3.0 kW based on pallet mass, friction, start/stop frequency and incline/transfer requirements.

What safety features are available?

Guarding, e-stops, pull cords, interlocked gates and beacons/sounders to CE standards; we integrate with your site safety systems.
