Ashland Conveyor Roller Conveyor Gate Kit, Medium-Duty, Rigid, Steel, Between Frame Width 22 in

Use these gate kits to install a conveyor gate (also known as a lift gate or pass through) in a compatible medium-duty roller conveyor. The gate lets people pass from one side of the conveyor to the other without having to walk around the conveyor or use crossover ladders or platforms to go over the conveyor. Each conveyor gate consists of rollers mounted on axles attached to a hinged frame that can be raised or lowered. A spring-assist mechanism reduces the effort it takes to lift the gate. When the gate is lowered, the rollers allow loads to glide along the surface of the gate. When the gate is raised, people can pass from one side of the conveyor to the other.

Roller conveyors consist of rollers that are mounted on a series of axles attached to rigid or telescoping frames. These unpowered (gravity-flow) conveyors use a downward slope or a manual push to move loads down the line. The rollers provide a stable surface for moving loads with rimmed or uneven bottoms, such as drums, pails, pallets, skids, and bags. They allow the loads to roll along a path from one place to another, reducing the effort it takes to move the loads in package handling, warehousing, dock, assembly, or inspection tasks. Loads roll forward and back along the conveyors and can be pushed from side to side across the full width of the conveyors. Roller conveyors typically offer more weight capacity than skate wheel conveyors. The conveyor's roller spacing density affects the size of the items that can be conveyed on it. The smallest item on the conveyor should be supported by at least three rollers at all times.
