Lineshaft roller conveyors are commonly used in warehouse application to transport normally flat boxes. At automation supplies we offer lineshaft conveyors in steel, stainless steel and aluminium versions. Both the steel and aluminium versions are suitable for general box handling whereas the stainless steel lineshaft conveyors are sold mainly into the food manufacturing industry.
