Pallet Conveyor Systems
CCL designs and builds pallet conveyor systems for production, warehousing and distribution. We specify powered roller, chain or gravity sections to suit your pallet base, loaded weight, route and transfer points. Tell us your required throughput and site layout to start a practical design.

Bespoke Pallet Handling Solutions
CCL designs and manufactures bespoke pallet conveyor systems in Loughborough for production, warehousing and distribution. Powered rollers, chain conveyors, transfers and turntables are selected around the pallet base, loaded weight, route and required throughput.
Specification starts with the pallet: dimensions, runner orientation, underside condition, load stability and maximum weight. We also assess conveyor height, accumulation positions, transfer direction, full-load starting and interfaces with forklifts, palletisers and wrapping equipment. Capacity is engineered for the agreed application.
Controls can coordinate pallet detection, stopping, accumulation and transfers, with PLC and warehouse-system interfaces defined in the project scope. Drawing approval, factory testing, installation, commissioning and maintenance documentation provide continuity from design to handover.
Our Range
Powered Roller & Chain Pallet Conveyors
Chain-driven rollers provide powered transport where the pallet underside has suitable support. Roller diameter, pitch, drive arrangement and load rating are selected around pallet geometry, weight and duty cycle.
Two- or three-strand chain conveyors support suitable pallet runners and can form part of a cross-transfer arrangement. Strand positions, chain size, speed and motor power are specified for the load. Powered zones can provide controlled stopping and accumulation when designed with the appropriate sensors and control logic.
Gravity Conveyors
Gravity roller sections can provide short transfer or buffer positions where powered movement is unnecessary. Pallet base condition, roller pitch, load weight and the method of movement must be checked before selecting this arrangement.
Inclined pallet lanes require a designed method of controlling travel speed and stopping the load. Stops, braking and access arrangements are assessed for the application; an unpowered conveyor does not remove the need for guarding, inspection or safe operating procedures.
Heavy-Duty Plastic Modular Belt Conveyors
A modular belt may be considered where a pallet or load needs broader underside support. Suitability depends on belt construction, contact pressure, drive capacity and transfer geometry; roller or chain transport may be more appropriate for other pallet bases.
We assess the maximum loaded weight, load distribution, duty cycle and operating environment before specifying the belt and frame. Chemical and temperature resistance depend on the selected material. Module replacement requires the equipment to be safely stopped and isolated, with access planned into the design.
Pallet Turners:
Pallet inverters can transfer a suitable load between pallets by clamping and rotating it. They may be useful for pallet exchange or accessing a damaged pallet, where the product and packaging can tolerate the operation.
Load dimensions, weight, stability, clamping pressure and the required loading method are agreed before design. Product trials may be needed to establish a suitable operating sequence and avoid damage.
Guarding, access protection, emergency stops and operating procedures are specified for the installation. Our engineers can assess the inverter alongside your wider pallet conveyor, loading and unloading requirements.
Pallet Shuttles
A pallet shuttle can connect several conveyor lanes by travelling between loading and discharge positions. The travel distance, number of stations, loaded weight, cycle time and available floor space determine the arrangement and drive selection.
Position sensing, interlocks, access protection and interfaces with adjacent conveyors are defined during design. Send your pallet specification, movements per hour and site layout so we can assess whether a shuttle, turntable or fixed cross-transfer suits the process.
