Optimize your facility’s throughput with our professional Manual Conveyor drawing. While powered systems have their place, the manual gravity conveyor remains the most cost-effective, energy-efficient, and low-maintenance solution for moving boxes, pallets, and totes across a warehouse floor. This technical CAD resource provides a comprehensive blueprint for a modular Gravity Roller Conveyor system designed for durability and ease of installation. By downloading this file from MechStream, you gain access to a design that utilizes the laws of physics to move products smoothly with minimal human effort.

The design featured in this package focuses on Structural Rigidity and Low Rolling Resistance. The drawing includes detailed layouts for the C-channel frame, the spring-loaded hex-axles, and high-quality precision ball bearings. By utilizing this blueprint, you can design a “pitch-adjustable” run—allowing you to set the decline angle ($2^{\circ}$ to $5^{\circ}$) perfectly to match the weight and friction of your specific packaging. This is an essential asset for designers of “last-mile” sorting stations, assembly work-cells, and truck loading docks.

Our technical documentation prioritizes modularity and safety. The assembly features a “bolt-together” design, allowing for easy expansion or reconfiguration as your business grows. It also includes specifications for Manual Stop Gates and Knee Braces for stability. Whether you are building a simple 10-foot run or a complex multi-lane gravity flow rack, this drawing provides the exact roller centers, frame gauges, and load-per-linear-foot ratings required for a professional-grade installation.

Key Features:

  • High-Capacity Roller Design: Engineered with galvanized or stainless steel tubes capable of handling heavy industrial loads without bowing.
  • Tool-less Roller Replacement: Features spring-retained axles for rapid maintenance and easy replacement of individual rollers.1
  • Low-Inertia Bearings: Detailed specifications for free-spinning bearings that allow even lightweight items to move consistently.
  • Modular Side Rails: Includes blueprints for integrated “guard rails” to prevent products from sliding off during high-speed manual pushes.
  • Tapered Curve Sections: Provides the geometric calculations for 45 and 90-degree curves to ensure packages maintain their orientation through turns.
