Roller Conveyors

At L-A-C Logistics Automation, we design and manufacture a wide range of roller conveyors engineered for modern material handling systems. Our products are designed to optimise conveyor lines across warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities, ensuring smooth, efficient, and safe transport of goods.

From gravity roller conveyors to DC powered roller conveyors, every system is built for reliability, durability, and performance. With height adjustable steel stands, modular design, and optional safety features such as safety sensors, side guides, and end stops, our conveyors are suited to a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, logistics, and the food industry.

What is a roller conveyor?

A roller conveyor is a type of material handling equipment that uses cylindrical rollers mounted within a frame to move products efficiently. Depending on the design, these can operate using gravity, chain-driven roller conveyors, or belt-driven conveyor rollers, each suited to specific applications.

Our systems are available in steel (bright zinc-plated), aluminium (natural), and stainless steel rollers for corrosion resistance in hygienic environments. Every design incorporates high-quality roller bearings, steel axles, PVC rollers, and zinc plated steel components to ensure long-lasting performance in demanding production environments. We optimise roller pitch and roller types to suit specific product dimensions and throughput requirements.

Types of Roller Conveyors

We offer a wide selection of roller conveyor types to meet diverse application requirements:

warehouse powered roller conveyor

Gravity Roller Conveyors

Our gravity roller conveyors utilise the natural force of gravity to transport products, providing a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution. With a choice of roller diameters, load-carrying capacities, roller pitch, and end stops, these conveyors are ideal for light to medium-duty applications in warehousing and packaging environments. They're an excellent solution for reducing manual handling while ensuring smooth product flow.

Powered Roller Conveyors

When higher throughput or longer travel distances are required, our powered warehouse roller conveyors offer precise control over product flow. Options include:

Power Band Roller Conveyors for smooth, continuous transport
Power Chain Roller Conveyors for heavy-duty loads
Flat Roller Conveyors for compact operations
Curve Roller Conveyors for flexible routing around existing infrastructure Each system features a robust steel design, steel axles, and roller bearings designed for reliability under load. Our chain-driven conveyor rollers and belt-driven conveyor rollers can be configured with zero pressure accumulation for safe product handling and energy-efficient operation.

Flexible Roller Conveyors

Our flexible roller conveyors offer a flexible solution for adapting to changing layouts and product flow. These versatile systems can be easily reconfigured to accommodate different material handling operations.

Lineshaft Roller Conveyors

Lineshaft roller conveyors are perfect for applications where multiple zones need to be powered from one motor. These systems are designed for smooth, synchronised flow across connected conveyor lines, offering excellent energy efficiency and simple maintenance. They're also easy to integrate with conveyor accessories and side guides for product control.

DC Powered Roller Conveyors

Our DC-powered roller conveyors provide precise, low-voltage control for automated handling tasks. Integrated safety sensors prevent collisions, making them ideal for automation solutions and Conveyor System Safety compliance. These systems use motorised conveyor rollers for efficient and reliable drive control, especially in smart, scalable environments.

Chain-Driven Roller Conveyors

For robust industrial applications, our chain-driven roller conveyors deliver high torque and load-carrying capacity suited to production lines, steelmaking, and automotive manufacturing settings. Built from steel (bright zinc-plated) or stainless steel, these conveyors ensure dependable performance even in heavy-duty operations with heavy-duty rollers.

Applications for Roller Conveyors

Our conveyor systems are designed for versatility and are widely used across industries including:

Food handling

Packaging

Logistics

Mail delivery services

Baggage handling

Steelmaking

Manufacturing and design

Shipping applications
