Pallet conveyors
Pallet conveyors are ideal for transporting both wooden and plastic pallets, with the most common use being for EUR pallets. These systems are highly adaptable, allowing customization to accommodate different pallet sizes, increasing their versatility in various applications.
Using pallet conveyors improves the efficiency and speed of the transport process, leading to optimized manufacturing and warehousing operations. These conveyors can also be used as buffer storage, reducing the need for manual handling and improving overall logistics. As a result, the return on investment for these systems can be very quick and cost-effective.
The system can include various integrated processes such as weighing, scanning, contour checking, automatic strapping, and depaletizing (de-stacking equipment). This flexibility ensures that the conveyors meet the specific needs for pallet handling in your production or warehouse environment.
Our pallet conveyors are available in both powered and non-powered versions, offering an optimal choice for various conditions and customer requirements.

FAQs
A pallet conveyor is a conveyor system for the automatic transport of pallets between workstations, warehouses and lines. It handles pallets without the need for manual transport by truck, speeds up the flow of load units and reduces manual handling. It can handle wooden and plastic pallets, including standard Euro pallets, and can be adapted to other dimensions. It often connects receiving, production, packaging and dispatch into one smooth route.
Pallet conveyors are suitable wherever larger numbers of pallets are moved regularly, typically in distribution centres, parcel depots and manufacturing operations. They are used in receiving and dispatch, as a connection between a production line and a warehouse or as an accumulation zone before further processing. They help where manual pallet transport causes delays and ties up labour. Specific solutions for distribution warehouses can be found in the distribution centres section.
Pallet conveyors are divided by drive into powered and non-powered (gravity) versions and by conveying-surface design, most commonly roller and chain versions. Other types include transfer tables, turntables, turntable-transfer combinations, pallet loading modules and vertical conveyors (pallet lifts). The choice depends on the type and condition of the pallets, required throughput, route length and whether the conveyor only transports or also performs an accumulation function as a buffer. The operating environment and the direction in which pallets enter and leave are also important. We design the appropriate variant according to the specific requirements so that it matches the real goods flow and downstream technologies. Comparing chain conveyors and roller conveyors can also help.
Load capacity, speed and dimensions are designed according to the specific configuration and required operating capacity. The conveyor is sized for the weight and type of transported pallets, the required throughput and the dimensions that must pass through the line, from standard Euro pallets to non-standard formats. Because this is a custom solution, we determine the parameters on the basis of the real load, pallet flow and operating layout.
Yes, a pallet conveyor can be supplemented with a wide range of downstream processes and connected to existing technology. Weighing, scanning, pallet-profile inspection, automatic wrapping or labelling and pick-up and unloading equipment can all be integrated into the route. The conveyor therefore does more than move pallets from one place to another; it becomes part of a complete line. A pallet conveyor can also be connected to robotic workstations, where it supplies and removes pallets between downstream operations. As a manufacturer and integrator, we design the connection to your warehouse and control systems according to the specific operation. Related solutions are also available in the palletizing section.
