Incline Conveyors – Slider Bed & Roller Bed

Double nose-over, incline/decline belt conveyor

category blue arrowSlider Bed

Slider bed conveyors have a sheet metal frame with pulleys at either end. Compared to a roller bed incline, stopping a loaded slider bed may not shift product backwards as much due to friction between the belt and bed. This type of bed is also beneficial when moving products that do not have a flat bottom. Maximum load per linear ft: 100 lbs

Available overall widths: 18" | 24" | 30"

category blue arrowRoller Bed

Roller bed (Model RBI) inclined conveyors have a much higher load weight capacity than slider bed conveyors by reducing the friction caused by the belt against the bed surface. This conveyor also has a channeled frame equipped with a single transition roller on the end of the conveyor bed. Maximum load per linear ft: 225 lbs.

Available overall widths: 18" | 24" | 30"

Incline conveyors are excellent to convey between a mezzanine and floor level, docks, overhead conveyor to floor applications, and other areas where a items must be conveyed at an angle. Some applications are illustrated below:
incline conveyor Incline slider bed in an automotive parts application. Conveyor allows workers to easily pick or replenish a stocking mezzanine.
Incline conveyor in a distribution center application Incline conveyor in a distribution center application. Overhead conveyor system delivers to inclines, which then take totes of picked product to the packing & shipping area.
