Gravity conveyors use unpowered rollers and a slight incline to move products using gravity alone. This simple design eliminates the need for motors or electricity, making it highly energy-efficient. They are ideal for transporting flat-bottomed boxes and goods smoothly through a facility. These conveyors are especially useful in reducing operational costs due to their low maintenance and power-free operation. As a result, they’re a budget-friendly and reliable choice for many production lines.
