The Roach Model WT, 3-Strand 90° Transfer Skate Wheel Conveyor, is ideal for easy product movement.  Ideal for transferring cartons, cases, tote boxes, or products with flat bottoms

Features:

  • Skate wheel transfer conveyors offer easy movement of product.

  • Skate wheel transfer conveyors are good for items with a smooth, flat bottom.
  • Unlike a power conveyor, the load can be wider than your conveyor if centered correctly.
  • Excellent flow
  • Less pitch is needed to convey product
  • As loads negotiate the transfer, the skate wheels provide differential action.
