Roller and Belt Conveyors
Reliable floor conveyors that move cartons, totes and products between processes.
What it is
Roller conveyors move cartons, totes and flat-bottomed products on gravity or powered rollers. Motor-driven roller (MDR) conveyor divides the line into zones so items accumulate without pressure and only run when needed. Line-shaft and chain-driven live roller conveyors handle steady flows and heavier loads.
Belt conveyors carry product on a continuous belt and handle items of almost any shape, small parts and bags. They climb and descend between levels and give precise positioning for scanning, weighing and labeling. Curves, merges, diverts, spurs and transfers connect both types to picking, packing and shipping.
Where it fits
Roller and belt conveyors fit distribution centers, fulfillment operations, manufacturing lines, packing and shipping areas and end-of-line palletizing. They are often the backbone that ties automated storage, robots and workstations together.
Our role
We sell, install and service roller and belt conveyor systems. Our team coordinates layouts, controls and electrical requirements, installs and commissions the conveyor and handles modifications, extensions and relocations as your operation changes.
Because our team also handles related equipment, this scope can be packaged with neighboring systems under one point of contact. We work nationwide from our headquarters in Sioux Falls, SD. We support owners, plant managers, engineers and general contractors from first layout through ongoing service.

Frequently asked questions
Should we use roller or belt conveyor?
Roller conveyor suits cartons and totes with flat, rigid bottoms and allows accumulation. Belt conveyor handles irregular or small items and inclines. Many systems use both.
What is zero-pressure accumulation?
The conveyor is divided into zones that stop independently, so products queue without pushing on each other. It protects product and keeps flow steady.
Can you extend an existing conveyor?
Yes. We regularly extend, re-route and relocate conveyor systems and add curves, merges and transfers.
Can conveyors connect to automated storage?
Yes. Conveyors commonly link cube storage, shuttles, VLMs and robots to packing and shipping.
