Pallet Conveyor Systems and Integration

Move pallets between stations without a forklift and a driver for every one.

Every routine pallet move that waits on a forklift is queue time, labor and one more chance for damage. Pallet conveyor turns the routine moves into flow: CDLR and chain conveyor carry the loads, transfers change their direction, stackers and dispensers handle the empties, and staging lanes hold product where the next process wants it.

CDLR and chain conveyor sized to your real pallet weights.

Right-angle chain transfers and turntables — no forklift touch.

Pallet stackers, dispensers and staging built into the flow.

The Four Jobs of a Pallet System

Carry, turn, feed and stage — a working system does all four without a forklift in the loop.

Carry

CDLR and drag chain runs move loaded pallets between processes — steady, predictable and indifferent to breaks and shift change.

Turn

Chain transfers and turntables change pallet direction in place, so the layout can use the floor instead of a forklift’s turning radius.

Feed

Pallet dispensers meter empties to palletizing one at a time; stackers collect them back into neat stacks — both are fabrication-shop staples of ours.

Stage

Accumulation and staging lanes hold finished pallets ahead of wrapping and shipping, so the dock pulls from a queue instead of chasing product.

The Load Decides the Hardware.

A clean GMA pallet and a beat-up captive pallet are different design problems. Roller centers, chain strands, frame gauge and transfer style all come from what your pallets actually look like on their worst day — which is why we start by looking at the loads, not the catalog.

Pallet flow as one designed path.

From Palletizer to Truck Without a Touch.

Palletizing, wrapping, staging and shipping are usually bought as separate machines and connected by forklift. Designed as one path — conveyor, transfers, wrapper and controls — the end of the line runs itself, and the forklifts go back to the exceptions.

Conveyability: Your First Call When Pallets Sit and Forklifts Circle.

Flow for the routine moves; forklifts for the exceptions.

One team of top-tier problem solvers.

Start with what failed and what production is experiencing — not just the replacement part.

Speed, responsiveness and lead-time flexibility.

Service has to fit the urgency, shutdown window and reality of the operating plant.

Value engineering inside the real budget.

Repair what is worth repairing, modify what is causing the problem and upgrade only where the system has truly outgrown the old answer.

Custom plans built around the plant you have.

Legacy equipment, multiple manufacturers and incomplete drawings are normal inputs.

No passing the buck when the interfaces get messy.

Mechanical, controls, fabrication, installation and future support stay connected through one team.

Get Our Conveyor Maintenance Checklist: Catch the Wear Before It Costs You a Shift.

Chain, drives, stops and transfer hardware carry the heaviest loads you run. The checklist covers what to look at weekly, monthly and quarterly.

  • What to check and how often to check it.
  • How to spot early signs
  • Print once, coverage all quarter.

Pallet Handling FAQs

Loads, rough pallets, phasing and controls.

What pallet weights can the systems handle?

CDLR and chain conveyor are specified to your actual loads — tell us the real range, including the heavy exceptions, and the frames and drives get sized to it.

Our pallets are in rough shape. Does that matter?

It matters a lot — bad bottom boards push the design from rollers toward drag chain. Bring us your worst pallets, not your best.

Can pallets change direction without a forklift?

Yes. Chain transfers and turntables handle right-angle moves and rotation in place.

Do you build pallet stackers and dispensers?

Yes — pallet stackers, dispensers and rotators are regular products of our fabrication shop.

Can a pallet system be added a section at a time?

That’s a sensible way to do it. Start where pallets wait longest — often staging ahead of wrapping or shipping — and extend from there.

How does the system talk to our palletizer and wrapper?

Through the controls scope — permissives, release signals and sequencing get engineered with the equipment on both ends.
