Pallet Handling

Pallet handling equipment is essential to productive operations, enabling pallet stacking or separating, or transporting pallets across different transport levels. Designed to connect transport lines or re-orientated pallet direction, within a variety of different production plant heights, this equipment can be flexibly combined to support multiple material flow sources.

The pallet handling problem

Transporting often large and heavy palletized goods through the plant can pose a number of challenges:

  • Transporting pallets, particularly via forklifts and other more “manual” methods, can incur significant costs in terms of both time and effort
  • Pallet stacking or movement can be particularly dangerous for workers
  • Multi-directional workflows can make pallet transportation complicated and inefficient

Pallet handling equipment

We offer a wide range of pallet conveyors, from the more economical drive-less models to high-powered, driven rollers or chain conveyors, complete with reversible transport direction.

Using transfer units and turntables, these conveyors can be used flexibly to connect or change the direction of different pallet transport lines as required. This means that several material flow sources can be combined, offering an almost endless number of material flow targets.

Power-driven roller conveyers are especially designed for the lengthwise transportation of empty or full pallets. 

 

This makes them ideally suited for conveying Euro pallets, and for operation in low building heights such as at the manual shuttle car transfer level. Large roller diameter and narrow roller spacing enable quiet and smooth pallet transportation, even under heavy loads.

The chain pallet conveyor is better suited for crosswise transportation and for heavy loads, thanks to the double, straight linked chains. Transfer units, and the turntable, make any angle with the track run possible, supporting 90° angle parallel or swivel lifts, as well as being able to change orientation from lengthwise to crosswise, and vice-versa.

Pallet Handling Benefits

  • Tailored to the task: We tailor our conveyor units to suit our clients’ specific task requirements.
  • Diverse range: We provide a diverse assortment of pallet handling equipment, including chain conveyors, buffer conveyors, turntables, transfer units, pallet dispensers and pallet testers.

 

 

  • Modular solutions: Our modular system of standard components enables businesses to add elements as needed, including lifts, shuttle cars, lane connections, crossovers, roller lanes, etc.

 

 

Pallet Handling Systems

We offer an extensive assortment of pallet conveyor systems, all individually designed to support the movement of pallets in multiple directions, orientations, and dimensions.

 

Our modular approach enables us to tailor these solutions to your specific logistic requirements, giving you the opportunity to achieve the process productivity you need.

Pallet Handling and Accessories

We provide regular and heavy duty pallet conveyor units to support the multidirectional transfer of pallets to meet the demands of today’s production plants.

 

Lengthwise and crosswise conveyors

Built to handle the heaviest pallet loads, our power-driven pallet roller conveyor is primed for transporting empty or full pallets in the lengthwise direction. A large roller diameter and narrow roller spacing, guarantees quiet and smooth pallet transportation.

For transporting pallets in the crosswise direction, our double-chain, pallet chain conveyors are the perfect choice. These are fitted with small idlers to support jerk-free transfer at the connection points.

Chain Conveyors

Our chain conveyors are heavy-duty, with 3-phase gear motors for the transport of heavy goods, EURO-Pallets, and large containers. They consist of two parallel rectangular profiles with screw-secured plastic slide rails for the chain conveyor belt run.

 

Idler units enable the smooth transfer of pallets when transported transversely. To operate the chain conveyor effectively, the product base must be level or fitted with skids running at right angles to the working direction.

Transfer units

For many plants, transporting pallets in one direction is not an option. This is why we provide a choice of transfer units – or pallet turntables – to change the directional flow.

Switching direction at a 90° angle, our parallel pallet lifter or swivel lifter units can change the pallet direction from lengthwise to crosswise – or the other way around – at the transfer station.

 

Our pallet turntable units make any angle within the track run possible, orientating or re-orientating pallets in either lengthwise or crosswise direction as required. A pallet turntable with a continuous turn drive is ideal for larger rotation angles – e.g. for all-round labeling or all-round visual inspection.

Modular design Benefits

  • Pallet lifts for pallet placement/removal via manual pallet shuttle car
  • Pallet shuttle cars for distribution or lane connection
  • Platforms and crossovers for operating personnel

 

 

  • Pallet dispensers for empty pallet distribution
  • Accumulation roller lanes for buffering and provision
  • Tailor-made designs for bespoke customer requirements
