Pallet Conveyor Systems

Heavy-Duty Precision for Palletized Logistics

Product Overview

LEADOR’s Pallet Conveyor Systems are engineered to handle the transportation, accumulation, and sorting of palletized goods — whether in manufacturing plants, AS/RS zones, or shipping docks. These conveyors support pallet weights up to 2,000 kg and are designed for seamless integration with robotics, lifters, shuttles, and stretch wrappers.

Offered in multiple formats — including chain conveyors, roller conveyors, turntables, and transfer modules — our pallet systems deliver high stability, precision alignment, and robust performance across demanding environments.

Introduction & Core Benefits

Leador Tech’s Pallet Conveyor Systems are purpose-built, heavy-duty material handling solutions designed to automate the movement, accumulation, and precise positioning of palletized goods within factories, warehouses, and distribution centers. Unlike lighter-duty conveyors, these robust systems are engineered to withstand the significant weight and dynamic forces associated with industrial pallets (e.g., Euro pallets, standard US pallets, plastic pallets). Leveraging technologies such as robust chain conveyors and heavy-duty roller conveyors, our systems provide uninterrupted, controlled flow of goods from receiving to shipping, ensuring efficiency, safety, and reduced reliance on manual forklifts in designated areas.

Engineered for the most demanding industrial applications, Leador Tech’s Pallet Conveyor Systems boast exceptional load-bearing capabilities, reliably handling pallets weighing hundreds or even thousands of kilograms. Built with heavy-gauge steel, reinforced frames, and robust drive components, our systems ensure long-term durability and continuous operation even in the harshest environments, minimizing wear and tear.

Automating pallet movement with our systems significantly reduces bottlenecks and accelerates material flow throughout your facility. By providing continuous and precise transport, accumulation, and transfer points, our Pallet Conveyors ensure that goods are moved efficiently to their next stage, whether it’s storage, production, or shipping, leading to substantial gains in overall throughput.

Leador Tech’s Pallet Conveyor Systems are designed to accommodate a wide range of pallet types and sizes, including standard wooden, plastic, and specialty pallets. Our modular approach allows for highly flexible layouts, incorporating straight sections, curves, transfers (e.g., 90° or 180° turns), merges, and inclines/declines, to perfectly match your facility’s unique configuration and operational requirements.

Automating pallet transport significantly minimizes the risks associated with manual forklift operations, reducing the potential for accidents and product damage. Our systems are equipped with advanced safety features, ensuring controlled movement and safe interaction points, protecting both your personnel and your valuable inventory.

Our Pallet Conveyor Systems are designed to be the foundational link in a fully automated logistics chain. They seamlessly integrate with Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS), Robotic Palletizers/Depalletizers, Stretch Wrappers, Labeling Systems, and other material handling equipment. This ensures a cohesive, high-performance system for your entire pallet flow.

Pallet Conveyor Types

01. Heavy-Duty Roller Pallet Conveyors

Principle: Consist of robust, large-diameter rollers driven by powerful motors (e.g., chain-driven, or accumulation-ready designs). Ideal for smooth, quiet transport and zero-pressure accumulation of pallets, allowing them to stop without contacting each other. Applications: Buffering zones, feeding/discharging AS/RS, palletizing/depalletizing lines, general transport where accumulation is needed, precise positioning.

02. Chain Pallet Conveyors

Principle: Utilize two or more strands of heavy-duty roller chain running in parallel beneath the pallet. The chains engage directly with the bottom of the pallet, providing positive and continuous drive. Extremely robust and ideal for demanding, heavy-load applications, often in harsher environments. Applications: Raw material receiving, heavy manufacturing, connection points for shuttle carts or transfer cars, long-distance heavy transport, high-speed transfers.

03. Pallet Transfer Cars & Turntables

Principle: Transfer Cars: Mobile platforms on rails that move pallets between multiple conveyor lines or bays, bridging gaps in the system. Turntables: Rotating platforms that change the orientation of a pallet by 90° or 180°, crucial for precise positioning in automated processes. Applications: Connecting different areas, changing pallet orientation for stretch wrapping or robotic operations, feeding multi-lane systems.
