FAQs
What’s the difference between skate wheel and roller models?
Skate wheel conveyors are lighter and ideal for smooth-bottomed packages, while roller models suit heavier items or irregular surfaces.
Do I need a powered model?
Powered flex conveyors are best for high-volume or incline applications. For manual handling and lighter loads, a gravity system is usually sufficient.
Are these conveyors portable?
Yes, all flex conveyors come with lockable castors and can be folded for easy relocation or storage.
