500kg – 2000kg Pallet Chain Conveyor System For Logistics Handling Systems

500–2000kg Pallet Chain Conveyor for Automated Warehouse and Logistics Handling Systems

Product Overview

The pallet chain conveyor is a standard conveying solution designed for automated warehouses, logistics handling systems, and internal factory pallet transfer lines. It is mainly used for continuous horizontal conveying of pallets, containers, and other regular large goods with defined bottom support conditions. This series adopts a chain and sprocket positive engagement drive structure powered by an electric motor, making it suitable for projects that require stable pallet transfer, defined line rhythm, and system integration.

This series supports load capacities of 500 kg / 1000 kg / 1200 kg / 2000 kg, with standard conveying speeds of 12 / 14 / 16 m/min. Depending on project layout and operating conditions, conveyor lengths can be configured as 1500 / 2000 / 2500 / 3000 mm, with further adjustment available by project. For pallet infeed and outfeed transfer, workstation connection, buffering, and automated line integration, this conveyor structure is a practical and widely used engineering solution.

Application Background

In automated warehouse and logistics systems, pallet handling equipment is usually expected to meet the following requirements:

• the conveyor structure should support medium- to heavy-duty pallet transfer

• the conveying speed should match upstream and downstream line rhythm

• the equipment should connect with roller conveyors, lift transfer units, and stacker crane interface sections

• the system should operate in standard warehouse or low-temperature environments

For regular pallets and carriers with defined bottom support, the chain conveyor provides a clear transfer rhythm through chain and sprocket engagement. For this reason, it is widely used in automated warehouses, AS/RS infeed and outfeed sections, logistics buffer lines, and internal factory pallet circulation systems.

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 system rhythm

• Can be used as a standard conveyor module in automated handling systems

Application Boundary

This page refers to a horizontal pallet 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 load bottom structure is not suitable for chain support, or if the environment involves strong corrosion, washdown, or hygienic requirements, material, surface treatment, and special configuration should be confirmed separately.

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 cold chain transfer

• 1500–3000 mm length range: suitable for workstation connection, buffer lines, and interface sections

Applications

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)

Used for pallet infeed, outfeed, buffering, and stacker crane interface sections.

Warehouse Logistics Conveyor Lines

Used for straight pallet transfer, warehouse circulation, and inbound/outbound handling sections.

Automated Logistics Centers

Suitable for pallet entry, discharge, and intermediate buffering in automated logistics systems.

Internal Factory Logistics

Used for pallet transfer, material buffering, and workstation connection in manufacturing facilities.

Low-Temperature Warehouse Projects

The low-temperature version is suitable for cold storage, cold chain logistics, and refrigerated warehouse transfer.

System Integration

This pallet chain conveyor series is typically used as a standard conveyor unit within automated pallet handling systems and can be integrated with:

• roller conveyors

• lift transfer units

• stacker crane infeed and outfeed interfaces

• automated warehouse conveyor lines

• pallet buffering and diversion modules

• robotic palletizing or depalletizing related sections

In most projects, the chain conveyor is not used as an isolated machine, but as a basic conveying module within a complete pallet logistics system.

How to Select

When selecting from this pallet chain conveyor series, the following points should be confirmed:

1. 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

2. Choose Speed by Line Rhythm

• standard warehouse transfer: 12 m/min

• higher takt requirements: 14 or 16 m/min

3. Choose Version by Environment

• standard warehouse conditions: standard version

• cold chain and refrigerated warehouse projects: low-temperature version

• dusty or special industrial environments: protection details should be confirmed by project

4. Confirm Bottom Structure Compatibility

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