Skatewheel or Roller: Which Gravity Conveyor do You Need?
Skatewheel Conveyor is made with steel skatewheels mounted on axles to convey product.
This is the most economical type of conveyor. It is frequently used for loading trucks with the conveyor
set up on removable stands or supports. 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.
Skate wheel conveyors flow better than roller conveyor. A minimum of ten wheels should be positioned
beneath your load at any given time.
Gravity Roller Conveyor uses rollers for greater weight carrying capacities than skatewheel.
Rollers are recommended for uneven, open, or rimmed bottom packages. They have springloaded
axles for easy removal & replacement. Unlike skatewheel conveyors, product should
never be wider than the rollers. Use at least three rollers under a product at any given time.

In
general, use
Skatewheel conveyors for items with smooth, flat bottoms. Gravity
