Pallet Handling Conveyors
Modern warehousing operations deal with many challenges in handling pallets. Configurations often differ, as do weights, shapes and sizes. Manual handling can lead to higher labor costs and inefficient workflows. Conventional approaches also increase fork truck traffic and potential workforce injury. The latter is especially true when tasks involve large or weighty loads or repetitive movement.
Equipping your facility with an automated pallet-handling conveyor from Siggins can help eliminate or reduce these issues while improving warehouse productivity and efficiency.

Typical Use Cases for Pallet Handling Systems
These systems have a design flexibility that allows engineers to adapt them for many uses. The equipment can carry many different sizes and weights and is compatible with wooden and plastic pallets. It can also accommodate loads with slip sheets, metal frames and no conveying medium beneath. Specialized systems like accumulation pallet conveyors are available, as well.
