Live Roller Conveyors

Move cartons, totes, and other products efficiently with powered roller conveyor systems designed around your operation.

Talk to a Material Handling Expert

Built for Efficient Product Handling

Live roller conveyors keep cartons, totes, trays and other flat-bottom products moving smoothly through production, packaging and distribution.

The right conveyor setup depends on what you’re moving and how the system needs to operate. RMH designs live roller conveyor systems around your product, throughput, accumulation needs and overall material flow.

Live Roller Conveyor Applications

cartons on live roller conveyor

Cartons & Totes

Move cartons, totes, trays, and other rigid-bottom products between processes.

steel processor case study

Production & Assembly

Transport products and components between workstations, equipment, and production processes.

case packing machine

Packaging Lines

Connect case packing, labeling, inspection, and other downstream packaging equipment.

pick module

Warehousing & Distribution

Move products through receiving, storage, picking, sortation, and shipping operations.

Types of Live Roller Conveyors

24-volt conveyor

Individually powered zones provide flexible product movement, accumulation, and control for cartons and totes.

zero pressure conveyor

Create controlled accumulation zones that prevent products from contacting one another.

belt over roller conveyor

Use a belt beneath the rollers for smooth, continuous movement of cartons, totes and other products.

line shaft conveyor

Use a common drive shaft to power multiple rollers for lightweight product handling.

cdlr conveyor for pallets

Use chain-driven rollers to move pallets and other heavy loads.

Product Control & Accumulation

Live roller conveyor can do more than move products from one point to another. Individual conveyor zones, sensors, and controls can manage product spacing, accumulation, and movement throughout the automated system.

✓ Zero-pressure accumulation
✓ Product spacing
✓ Starts & stops
✓ Transfers & diverts

Connecting Your Entire Packaging Line

Keep products moving between production, inspection, packaging, and downstream processes.

vision inspection system

Vision Inspection

Move products through vision systems for automated quality checks, verification, and inspection.

checkweigher

Integrate weighing and checkweighing equipment directly into the conveyor line.

print and apply labeling

Convey products through automated labeling systems for consistent label application.

thermal inkjet coding machine

Integrate coding equipment for dates, lot codes, barcodes, and other product information.

Hytrol sortation conveyor

Direct cartons and totes to the right destination using automated sortation systems.

Customizing Your Live Roller Conveyor System

Product size, weight, throughput, accumulation requirements, and facility layout all influence how a live roller conveyor system should be designed. We evaluate how products need to move and interact with surrounding equipment before recommending a conveyor solution.

Other key considerations include:

✓ Product Size & Weight
✓ Product Bottom Surface
✓ Throughput Requirements
✓ Accumulation Needs
✓ Conveyor Layout
✓ Equipment Integration
