Our gravity conveyor product range with aluminium side frames and low weight rollers is popular with users who have light weight applications or who need the conveyor itself to be light weight.
These conveyors are not actually any cheaper than normal steel framed conveyors because they are produced in lesser volumes than the steel framed gravity conveyor units that we offer.
However in certain situations they have advantages over their steel framed stable mates.
Where the user is having to move conveyors around to meet production requirements, they have the option of our flexible conveyors that expand and bend, or they can use the fixed aluminium framed gravity conveyors, often fitted with castor's to make movement easy.
These aluminium fixed conveyors are significantly cheaper than the expanding roller conveyors, but they obviously are not as flexible in use.
They are also obviously lighter than their steel variants, so the effort taken to move the conveyors is much less, which can be a solution to strain injury potential in some factories and warehouses.
Rollers are available in BZP steel, with aluminium and even plastic rollers as an option.
