A manufacturing facility required a custom conveyor solution to transfer 3,000 lb steel pallets (47” L x 78” W) that could only be moved in a specific orientation. Traditional methods using roller conveyors with pop-up chain transfers were not viable due to pallet constraints. Rolmaster’s engineering team designed a unique pop-up CDLR conveyor to solve the challenge.
Project Highlights
- Industry: Heavy Manufacturing
- Application: Automated pallet handling
- Challenges:
- Pallets could only be transferred in one orientation
- Traditional roller + chain transfer systems wouldn’t work
- Needed to handle 3,000 lb steel pallets with precision
Solution
Rolmaster designed a custom pop-up CDLR conveyor, integrating:
✔ CDLR conveyor lifting up and down through a stationary chain conveyor
✔ Controlled vertical movement to precisely transfer pallets
✔ Heavy-duty construction to support extreme weight loads
✔ Seamless system integration for uninterrupted pallet flow
Results & Benefits
✅ Innovative Transfer Method – Overcame orientation restrictions
✅ Smooth & Precise Movement – Pallets transfer reliably with high positional accuracy
✅ Heavy-Duty Performance – Designed to withstand demanding operations with minimal downtime
✅ Custom Engineering Success – Unique solution tailored to customer needs
