Flexible & Expandable Conveyor – Versatile Material Handling Solution

What is a Flexible and Expandable Conveyor?

A flexible conveyor (also called an expandable conveyor) is a portable transport system that stretches, contracts, and bends to move goods along a custom path from point A to B. Mounted on swivel casters, it rolls easily into position—ideal for temporary loading, unloading, or warehouse operations.

How It’s Built: Structure & Components

• Rollers & Skate Wheels: Convey items smoothly; rollers for heavy loads, skate wheels for lighter packages.
• Crossed Support Rods: Form an “X” scissor mechanism for easy telescoping.
• Adjustable Legs: Height-adjustable to create incline for gravity-fed or level for powered use.
• Drive Belt & Motor: Motor-driven belt rotates rollers to move goods uphill or on flat surfaces.
• Handles & Casters: End handles and locking casters ensure quick, secure positioning.

Working Principle

Gravity Models: Use incline to let items roll downhill.
Powered Models: Motor-driven belts move goods horizontally or uphill. Adjust legs to extend for loading and retract for compact storage.
