Gravity Conveyor
Simple. Reliable. No power required.
Gravity conveyor modules from Conveyor Logistics deliver cost-effective, zero-energy product movement for Australian warehouses, distribution centres, and manufacturing facilities. Built from heavy-duty steel rollers and skate wheels, our gravity conveyors are engineered for durability and low operating costs.
Zero energy operation
No motor, no power — gravity does the work, cutting operating costs to zero.
Heavy-duty construction
Steel frames and precision roller assemblies built for demanding industrial environments.
Flexible & modular
Roller and skate wheel configurations available in custom widths and lengths for any layout.
Overview
Gravity conveyor modules are one of the most cost-effective and reliable methods of product movement in warehousing and distribution environments. Requiring no electrical power, they rely entirely on incline and gravity to move products — making them ideal for order picking lines, shipping areas, truck loading, and accumulation zones.
Conveyor Logistics supplies both gravity roller conveyors and skate wheel conveyors in a wide range of widths, lengths, and roller pitches to match any facility requirement. Whether you need a fixed section or a flexible telescoping unit for dock loading, we have the right module.
Key applications
- Order picking lines
- Truck loading & unloading
- Carton & case handling
- Shipping & dispatch
- Assembly lines
- E-commerce fulfilment
- Accumulation & staging
- Manufacturing & production
Features
Zero energy — gravity powered
Gravity conveyors require no electrical power, motors, or controls — reducing energy consumption and operating costs to zero for product movement on these lines.
Roller & skate wheel options
Available in gravity roller or skate wheel configurations — choose based on your product type, weight, and base dimensions.
Customisable widths & lengths
Standard and custom widths from 300–1200 mm with section lengths to suit any layout. Easily extended, connected, and reconfigured as your operation grows.
Low maintenance & long life
With no motors, drives, or controls to maintain, gravity conveyors offer the lowest total cost of ownership of any conveyor type.

Frequently asked questions
Do gravity conveyors need power?
No. Product moves under gravity on a decline, or by manual push on a level run. There is no motor, no wiring and no energy cost.
What products suit gravity conveyor?
Cartons, totes and anything with a firm, flat base. Soft-bottomed or bagged items need a belt conveyor instead, as they sag between the rollers.
How much load can it take?
Capacity depends on roller gauge, pitch and frame width. We size the rollers to your heaviest carton rather than a generic rating — the datasheet lists standard options.
Can gravity sections join a powered line?
Yes. Gravity is often used for accumulation lanes, pick faces and despatch spurs feeding into or off a powered line.
Where are your gravity conveyors made?
Designed and manufactured at our Epping facility in Melbourne, and installed across Australia.
