Gravity Roller Conveyors
Gravity roller conveyors are generally used to convey trays, slave boards, cardboard boxes, plastic totes etc.
These conveyors use the force of gravity to move products, there is no power, hence they are simple and
extremely cost effective. You can either free wheel the products manually (horizontally)or include a slight
decline to allow a fall over a certain distance. LAC’s gravity conveyors are extremely modular and
therefore can be utilised in many ways.
LAC Conveyors offer a standard and bespoke range of systems, fully designed and
manufactured in-house from our facilities in Nottingham, encompassing the widest
range of applications and environments.
