Heavy Duty Pallet Chain Conveyor 12 - 16m/Min Chain Conveyor Systems For Warehouse

Heavy-Duty Pallet Chain Conveyor 500–2000kg for Warehouse Logistics Conveyor Lines

Product Overview

The heavy-duty pallet chain conveyor is a standard conveying solution designed for warehouse logistics conveyor lines, automated pallet handling systems, and internal factory transfer applications. It is mainly used for the continuous horizontal conveying of pallets, containers, and other regular large goods with suitable bottom support conditions.

This series adopts a chain and sprocket transmission structure driven by an electric motor, making it suitable for projects that require stable pallet transfer, defined conveying rhythm, and integration with automated logistics equipment. Standard load configurations include 500 kg / 1000 kg / 1200 kg / 2000 kg, with standard conveying speeds of 12 / 14 / 16 m/min. For pallet infeed and outfeed transfer, conveyor line circulation, and workstation connection, this conveyor is a practical engineering solution.

Application Background

In warehouse logistics and industrial material handling systems, pallet conveyors are usually expected to meet the following requirements:

• support medium- to heavy-duty pallet transfer
• match upstream and downstream system rhythm
• maintain stable conveying during continuous-duty operation
• connect with roller conveyors, lift transfer units, and AS/RS interface sections
• adapt to standard warehouse conditions and selected special operating conditions confirmed by project

For pallets and carriers with defined bottom support, the chain conveyor provides controlled conveying through positive chain and sprocket engagement. For this reason, it is widely used in warehouse logistics lines, AS/RS pallet handling systems, internal factory logistics, and automated material handling projects.

Technical Solution

This pallet chain conveyor series is mainly composed of support legs, conveying beams, chain and sprocket drive components, a motor drive unit, and basic safety protection structures. During operation, the motor drives the sprocket, and the chain advances the pallet at a defined pitch for continuous horizontal transfer.

Transmission Features

• Chain and sprocket positive engagement suitable for pallet applications
• Supports project selection within the 500–2000 kg load range
• Standard conveying speed of 12–16 m/min for warehouse and logistics rhythm
• Suitable for continuous horizontal conveying in warehouse and industrial transfer systems
• Can be used as a standard conveyor module within automated handling lines

Application Boundary

This page refers to a horizontal pallet chain conveyor series, mainly for straight conveying, station connection, and buffer transfer.

If a project involves floor changes, vertical movement, or lifting operations, it normally requires lifting equipment, lift transfer units, or other vertical conveying modules.

If the environment involves strong corrosion, washdown conditions, special hygienic requirements, or other special industrial conditions, material, surface treatment, and protection details should be confirmed separately by project. The standard temperature data on this page covers low-temperature and standard indoor warehouse conditions.

Specifications

Specification Notes

• 500–2000 kg load range: suitable for standard pallet to medium/heavy-duty pallet handling
• 12–16 m/min speed range: suitable for warehouse logistics and automation line rhythm
• Low-temperature version down to -25°C: suitable for cold storage and refrigerated warehouse transfer, subject to project configuration
• 1500–3000 mm length range: suitable for workstation connection, buffer lines, and interface sections

Applications

Warehouse Logistics Conveyor Lines
Used for straight pallet transfer, line circulation, and connection between warehouse handling sections.

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Used for pallet infeed, outfeed, buffering, and interface transfer sections.

Pallet Infeed and Outfeed Transfer Sections
Suitable for loading, unloading, handover, and transition sections in automated pallet systems.

Factory Internal Logistics Systems
Used for pallet circulation, material buffering, and workstation connection in industrial facilities.

Pallet Transfer and Circulation Systems
Suitable for repeated pallet transfer tasks in continuous logistics handling operations.

Automated Material Handling Systems
Can be integrated into automated conveyor lines handling pallets, containers, and regular large goods.

System Integration

This pallet chain conveyor can be used as a standard unit in automated logistics systems and integrated with:

• roller conveyors
• lift transfer units
• AS/RS infeed and outfeed interfaces
• automated warehouse conveyor lines
• pallet buffer and diversion sections
• stacker crane related interface modules

In most projects, this conveyor is used as a basic conveying module within a complete pallet handling system, rather than as a standalone machine.

Advantages

1. Heavy Load Handling Capacity
The series supports 500 kg / 1000 kg / 1200 kg / 2000 kg configurations, making it suitable for different palletized load classes.

2. Stable Chain Transmission
The chain and sprocket drive structure is practical for continuous horizontal pallet conveying under defined load and line rhythm conditions.

3. Suitable for Warehouse and Industrial Handling Projects
It is suitable for warehouse logistics lines, internal factory transfer, and selected special operating conditions confirmed by project.

4. Easy System Integration
It can be integrated with roller conveyors, lift transfer units, AS/RS interfaces, and other automated logistics equipment.

5. Flexible Project Configuration
Load capacity, conveyor length, and some structural details can be adjusted according to project requirements.

How to Select

Choose load capacity by pallet weight

• up to 500 kg: 500 kg model
• medium pallet loads: 1000 kg or 1200 kg model
• heavier pallets or heavy-duty logistics sections: 2000 kg model

Choose speed by line rhythm

• standard warehouse transfer: 12 m/min
• higher takt requirements: 14 m/min or 16 m/min

Choose version by environment

• standard warehouse conditions: standard version
• cold storage and refrigerated warehouse projects: low-temperature version
• corrosive, washdown, or special hygienic conditions: confirm material and surface treatment separately

Confirm bottom structure compatibility
The pallet or carrier bottom structure should be suitable for chain-supported conveying. Pallet size, bottom opening type, and support direction should be confirmed before final selection.

FAQ
