Air-Chain Accumulation Conveyors

Chain Driven Live Roller (CDLR) Conveyors

Right Angle Transfer Conveyor (RAT)

Pallet Handling Conveyors:
A Big Cost Advantage
Rugged best describes Westfalia’s entire line of pallet conveying equipment. For over 30 years, we have been providing customers with heavy-duty pallet conveying systems, most of which are still in use today.
We offer both fixed direction conveyors, and change of direction units. Both types offer reliable, innovative pallet handling that will transport and accumulate pallets smoothly. Westfalia designers can customize our pallet handling conveyor heights, widths, and speeds to best fit your needs.
How do you benefit from these types of conveyors? Your equipment will have more functionality and be less prone to breakage. This reduces down time, makes your material handling application more efficient and ultimately, increases profitability.
