Gravity skate wheel conveyor
Clamping roller conveyors are similar to roller conveyors and are ideal for non-powered conveyors where handling smaller or lighter items is required. The use of clamps allows for a reduced spacing between individual transport elements, making it possible to efficiently transport even smaller items.
One of the main advantages of clamping roller conveyors is their ability to accumulate items on the conveyor, as the clamps are independent of each other, ensuring smooth and continuous movement of materials without unnecessary blockages. This independence also facilitates smoother passage through curves, which is beneficial in space-constrained applications.
Another advantage is the ability to manufacture variable scissor conveyors, which allow for adjustments in length, trajectory, and inclination according to the specific needs of the application. These conveyors provide high flexibility in the design and implementation of intralogistics systems.
A potential disadvantage of clamping roller conveyors may be their higher cost compared to traditional roller variants, which should be considered when deciding on the optimal solution for a given operation.

A skate wheel conveyor is a gravity conveyor similar to a roller conveyor, but instead of full rollers it uses rows of smaller skate wheels. It is used for non-powered transport of smaller and lighter items, where goods move under their own weight or with a light push from the operator. Thanks to the closer spacing of the wheels, it can also handle smaller goods.
The main difference is the conveying element. A skate wheel conveyor uses closely spaced individual wheels, while a roller conveyor uses full-width rollers. The smaller spacing between the wheels allows even smaller or lighter items to be transported reliably. Independent rotation of the wheels also enables goods to accumulate one behind another without jamming. For a comparison of the alternatives, see roller conveyors.
A skate wheel conveyor is suitable for smaller and lighter items where smooth movement is required. It is typically used in distribution centres, parcel depots and industrial applications. It is particularly suitable where transported items need to accumulate behind one another without blocking and where a gravity, non-powered solution reduces operating costs.
Yes, we design and manufacture skate wheel conveyors to suit each specific operation. The length, route and angle of inclination can all be adapted so that the solution fits the layout of your warehouse or line. The exact dimensions, load capacity and wheel arrangement are always based on the required capacity and the type of goods being transported. Design, manufacturing and installation are provided by us as a Czech manufacturer and integrator.
Yes, a skate wheel conveyor can be connected to an existing conveyor route and other warehouse technologies. As an integrator, we connect it to downstream conveyors, sorting or packaging workstations so that the sections follow on smoothly. We design the exact configuration and method of connection according to the operating layout and required goods flow. Related elements can be found in the conveyors section.
