'''Gravity Skatewheel Conveyor''' is a lighter-weight and more economical alternative to gravity roller conveyor. Skatewheel conveyor is typically used where its lighter weight makes it easily movable. | |||
Gravity skatewheel conveyor is made with steel skatewheels mounted on axles to convey product. This is the most economical type of [[Conveyors]]. It is frequently used for loading trucks with the conveyor set up on removable stands or supports. Gravity skatewheel conveyors are good for items with a smooth, flat bottom. Unlike power conveyor, the load can be wider than your conveyor if centered correctly.Skatewheel conveyors flow better than [[Roller Conveyors]]. A minimum of ten wheels should be positioned beneath your load at any given time. | |||
[[Gravity Conveyors]] move the load without utilizing motor power sources, usually down an incline or through a person pushing the load along a flat conveyor. A gravity conveyor can utilize skatewheels or full rollers.Skatewheel conveyor is useful in setting up temporary lines in warehousing activities, shipping departments, assembly areas, etc. | |||
