Modular Accumulating Pallet Conveyor 1200kg 2000kg Overhead Chain Conveyor Systems

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

Product Overview

The modular pallet chain conveyor is a standard conveying solution designed for automated warehouse logistics systems, AS/RS pallet handling lines, 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 layout flexibility within automated logistics systems. 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, stacker crane interface sections, warehouse circulation, and conveyor line support, this conveyor is a practical engineering solution.

The modular feature is mainly reflected in the flexibility of conveyor length, unit combination, and system layout adaptability. Standard lengths include 1500 / 2000 / 2500 / 3000 mm, with project-based customization available for non-standard requirements.

Application Background

In automated warehouse logistics projects, pallet conveyors are usually expected to meet the following requirements:

• support different pallet load classes within one system architecture
• match upstream and downstream logistics rhythm
• connect with roller conveyors, lift transfer units, and stacker crane interface sections
• adapt to different aisle layouts, station distances, and project footprints
• provide stable conveying during continuous warehouse operations

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 automated warehouse systems, AS/RS applications, pallet logistics conveyor lines, and internal factory logistics 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 logistics rhythm
• Modular length options for layout flexibility and system-based configuration
• Can be used as a standard conveyor module within automated warehouse handling systems

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 vertical movement, floor changes, or multi-level transfer, it normally requires lifting equipment, lift transfer units, or other vertical conveying modules.

If the environment involves strong corrosion, washdown conditions, or special hygienic requirements, material, surface treatment, and protection details should be confirmed separately by project.

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 automated warehouse and logistics line rhythm
• Modular length options: suitable for aisle layouts, workstation distances, and interface sections
• Low-temperature version down to -25°C: suitable for cold storage or refrigerated warehouse transfer, subject to project confirmation

Applications

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

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

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

Material Transfer Before and After Stacker Cranes
Suitable for pallet connection, buffering, and interface transfer around stacker crane working zones.

Automated Pallet Handling Systems
Used for stable pallet transfer between conveying modules in automated warehouse projects.

Internal Factory Logistics Systems
Applicable to pallet circulation and warehouse-to-production logistics transfer inside industrial facilities.

Containers and Regular Large Goods Conveying
Suitable for containers and large regular goods with appropriate bottom support conditions.

System Integration

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

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

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. Wide Load Capacity Range
The series supports 500 kg / 1000 kg / 1200 kg / 2000 kg configurations for different pallet logistics requirements.

2. Modular Layout Adaptability
Conveyor length and module combination can be arranged according to warehouse layout, aisle spacing, and project flow requirements.

3. Suitable for Automation Integration
It can be integrated with roller conveyors, lift transfer machines, stacker crane interfaces, and other warehouse handling equipment.

4. Stable Continuous Warehouse Operation
The chain and sprocket drive structure is practical for repeatable pallet conveying under defined load and line rhythm conditions.

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: 2000 kg model

Choose speed by warehouse rhythm

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

Choose module length by layout

• short interface sections: 1500 mm
• standard connection sections: 2000 / 2500 mm
• longer transfer sections: 3000 mm or project-based customization

Choose version by environment

• standard indoor warehouse conditions: standard version
• cold storage or refrigerated logistics: low-temperature version
• special corrosive or hygienic environments: 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.
