Key Features of SSG Pallet Conveyors
- Efficient Movement: Capable of moving pallets weighing up to 4,000 pounds, SSG Pallet Conveyors provide precise and smooth transportation for staging, wrapping, strapping, and more.
- Customizable Options: Featuring adjustable speed controls, automated sorting, and integrated sensors, these conveyors ensure flexibility and enhance both productivity and safety in your operation.
- Cost-Effective Solutions: Engineered to optimize material handling processes, SSG’s pallet conveyors help lower operational costs and deliver a strong return on investment.
Types of Pallet Conveyors
Accumulation Pallet Conveyors
esigned for zero or low-pressure accumulation, these conveyors allow pallets to pause in transit without collisions. Ideal for processes requiring temporary storage or buffering, they reduce product damage and enhance the efficiency of material flow. Integration with new or existing systems is seamless, making these conveyors versatile and easy to implement.
Transportation Pallet Conveyors
Perfect for transporting palletized goods across warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities, these conveyors automate transport, reducing reliance on manual labor and cutting operational costs. Customizable to specific needs, they improve productivity and workflow consistency.
Gravity Pallet Conveyors
By utilizing gravity, these conveyors provide an energy-efficient, quiet, and low-maintenance solution for moving pallets. They are ideal for applications where motor-driven conveyors are not necessary, and they contribute to a continuous and cost-effective flow of goods.

Benefits of Using SSG Pallet Conveyors
- Cost-Effective: Utilizing either motor-driven rollers (MDR) or gravity systems, these conveyors are designed to streamline processes and reduce costs.
- Improved Efficiency: Automation in transportation and accumulation minimizes manual labor, reduces lead times, and boosts productivity.
- Enhanced Safety: Integrated sensors and automated systems reduce risks of collision and product damage, fostering a safer work environment.
- Customizable Solutions: Built to meet specific requirements, our conveyors handle heavy loads, accommodate unique pallet dimensions, and integrate with automated sorting systems for complete flexibility.
Combining Gravity and MDR Technology
SSG offers hybrid solutions that combine Gravity Pallet Conveyors with Motor Driven Roller (MDR) systems. This combination optimizes energy use by leveraging gravity where possible, reducing motor wear and extending conveyor lifespan. This hybrid approach allows for smoother, cost-effective material handling operations with reduced maintenance demands.
Energy-Efficient Operation
MDR conveyors activate rollers only as needed, but integrating gravity sections lowers energy consumption further. Gravity assists in moving pallets without the need for power, resulting in lower operational costs and a reduced environmental footprint.
Customizable Accumulation Zones
Gravity sections within an MDR system provide customizable accumulation areas. This feature is beneficial for buffering or sorting pallets before further processing, enabling smoother material flow and higher system efficiency.
Reduced Wear and Maintenance
Gravity sections reduce motor-driven roller wear, extending the lifespan of these components and lowering maintenance needs
Cost Savings
This strategic use of gravity within an MDR system results in significant energy and maintenance savings, delivering a better long-term return on investment.
MDR Pallet Transfers and Turntables
SSG also provides powered transfer systems and rotating turntables, which allow for changes in pallet direction or orientation. Our robust designs support seamless transitions between conveyor sections and work well with Multi-Strand Chain and Chain Driven Live Roller conveyors, enhancing flexibility in complex material handling layouts.
SSG Pallet Conveyors offer a tailored approach to material handling, designed to adapt to your specific operational requirements and drive greater efficiency across your workflows.
