Heavy Duty Roller Conveyor | 2.5″ Dia. Rollers | 48″ BF x 5′ Long
Gravity roller conveyors are popular due to the versatility they offer while still being an extremely cost-effective solution. These heavy duty roller conveyors are excellent for both permanent and temporary conveyor lines that are often found within assembly areas, shipping departments, warehouses, and more. Heavy duty roller conveyors can typically support heavier loads than a traditional skate wheel type conveyor. Ultimation’s heavy duty roller conveyors are available in stocking lengths of 5′ and 10′, and stocking widths of 48″ between frame (51″ overall width). For larger widths, please contact us for a quote.

How to Choose and Configure the Right Heavy Duty Roller Conveyors:
- Choose the gravity conveyor between frame width based on the product dimensions. Allow 1″ each side, and consider wider widths or fixed and/or adjustable side guides if the product may move sideways on the conveyor as it moves.
- Decide on the length you need. Lengths of 5′, 10′ and curves can easily be joined together to achieve the layout required.
- Decide on support centers. Support must be provide either at 5′ or 10′ intervals for all loads.
- Review the tables showing maximum “live” (moving) loads per foot that the conveyor frame is suitable for – remember to count the maximum number of products on the conveyor at once.
- Make sure the product will move smoothly along the rollers and not get stuck between rollers. Choose the roller center distance (3″, 4-1/2″ or 6″ between rollers) so that the product is always gliding on at least 3 rollers at the same time (more if the product is uneven on the lower surface)
