Steel roller conveyors use steel rollers to form a flat surface for material handling. With high load capacity, excellent abrasion resistance, and strong impact resistance, this conveyor type is widely used in heavy industries such as transporting wooden pallets, metal packages, machinery, and stone blocks.
It is an effective solution to reduce manual labor, optimize workflows, and improve overall productivity.
In this article, Belota provides key highlights and application capabilities of steel roller conveyors, helping customers gain an objective perspective before making a purchasing decision.
What Is a Steel Roller Conveyor?
A steel roller conveyor is a material handling system that uses steel rollers to create a moving or gravity-driven surface for products. Thanks to its robust construction and high load-bearing capacity, this conveyor type is especially suitable for heavy and large-sized goods such as:
-
Carton boxes
-
Wooden pallets
-
Plastic pallets
-
Industrial packages
-
Machinery components
-
Flat-bottom products
Steel roller conveyors can be designed as gravity conveyors (free-flow movement) or powered conveyors driven by motors through chains or belts, meeting continuous operation requirements in factories, warehouses, and logistics centers.

Structure of a Steel Roller Conveyor
Steel roller conveyors are designed in a modular structure, ensuring high load capacity and stable operation in heavy industrial environments. The system consists of multiple key components, each performing a specific function to guarantee smooth, durable, and safe transportation.
Main Components Include:
-
Steel rollers: Made from thick steel tubes, arranged consecutively to form the conveying surface. Rollers can be integrated with sprockets or grooves to match different drive systems.
-
Conveyor frame: Manufactured from powder-coated steel, stainless steel, or aluminum profiles, providing high rigidity and durability.
-
Drive system: Uses chain sprockets or belts, optionally combined with electric motors for automated operation.
-
Control panel & inverter: Controls speed, direction, and supports emergency stop functions.
-
Accessories: Adjustable support legs, caster wheels, safety guards, and emergency stop buttons.
