Heavy duty conveyors are designed to transport extremely heavy, oversized, or high impact loads within industrial material handling systems. These conveyors are used in demanding environments where standard conveyor designs are not suitable due to load weight, product dimensions, or operating conditions. Heavy duty systems support controlled movement of large components while maintaining structural stability and predictable operation.
Heavy duty conveyor designs commonly include chain driven live roller systems, belt conveyors, and transfer units engineered for high load capacities. Heavy duty CDLR conveyors are capable of moving sheet metal loads up to 60,000 pounds, supporting fabrication and metal processing operations. Live load chain transfers and belt conveyors rated for loads up to 12,000 pounds are used to manage product transfers and directional changes without compromising alignment or load control.
Heavy duty conveyors are typically integrated into automated or semi automated production lines where reliability and durability are critical. Frame construction, drive components, and conveyor surfaces are selected to withstand continuous operation, impact loading, and harsh industrial conditions. These systems are engineered to support consistent material flow across complex layouts.
12K Heavy Duty Chain
Heavy duty chain drag and transfer conveyors are designed to move extremely heavy products through assembly, staging, and transfer points where forklifts, operators, and automated processes intersect. These conveyors use hardened chain strands riding on steel wear surfaces to carry loads that exceed the capacity of conventional roller or belt systems.
Heavy Duty CDLR
Heavy duty CDLR conveyors are designed to move large, heavy, and rigid loads using chain driven live rollers that provide positive traction and controlled movement. These conveyors are commonly used where pallets, skids, fixtures, or containers must be conveyed with precise control through assembly, inspection, or staging areas.
651RBW | Heavy Duty Roller Bed Conveyor with Wire Mesh Belt
The 651RBW heavy duty roller bed conveyor with wire mesh belt combines the open belt design with additional roller support beneath the mesh surface to accommodate heavier unit loads. The conveyor uses a robust structural channel frame and precision AMI bearings to support constant speed movement of loaded products through environments such as oven, cooling, or oily part handling.
Heavy Duty Modular
Heavy duty modular conveyors are designed to support flexible system layouts while handling demanding loads in industrial material handling environments. These conveyors use standardized modular components that can be configured into straight runs, curves, merges, and transfers, allowing systems to adapt to changing production needs without extensive structural modification.
Pneumatic Shuttle Cart
The Heavy Duty pneumatic shuttle cart enables the transfer of product between conveyor lines. The dual stage cylinders hold and pull the conveyor into position.
CD880 | Heavy Duty Chain Drag
The CD 880 8-strand Heavy Duty Chain Drag conveys stacks of steel panels. Two stacks, weighing over 11,000 lbs. total, can be in motion at once. The conveyor is 18’6” long and 31’5” wide. ref#535313
