The standard 3 Leg System has 16' storage, plus the width and width of the conveyor.
These vehicles transport goods and materials in your warehouse. They can also be used to unload or load heavy objects.
Engineered or automated systems are solutions that incorporate technology supported by computers and robots to store and transport goods
Conveyors and cross transfer handlers offer a 90-degree transfer of loads and materials in the shortest possible time. It is well equipped and flexible to use the vertical lift and transfer mechanisms stimulated by pneumatic, hydraulic and electrical systems.
Poor pallet quality can be an issue in an automated material handling system. Locating rollers closer together can reduce issues with poor pallet quality, but tight roller centers also limit the space available for chain transfers. IK has developed a chain transfer for 4,000-pound loads that is fabricated using a 3/8” plate welded steel frame which allows for 2-1/2” diameter rollers on 4-1/2” centers. This transfer includes a chain take-up design that can be adjusted without any conveyor disassembly or removal of rollers.
Material handling is the movement, protection, storage and control of materials and products throughout manufacturing, warehousing, distribution, consumption and disposal. As a process, material handling incorporates a wide range of manual, semi-automated and automated equipment and systems that support logistics and make the supply chain work. Their application helps with:
A material handling system that works effectively will allow your company to keep the stock you need in smaller spaces, reduce the time it takes to do internal operations such as picking and transport, control inventory in real-time and reduce operating costs, and optimize the flow of goods within your facility.
Material handling is more than just the movement and transport of products. It provides a standardized process for handling and transportation from manufacturing through distribution.
Cross transfer conveyors can be easily adapted to various process conditions and constraints.

Crosschain conveyors allow you to move a skid between two lines. It allows you to create a buffer in between the lines without affecting flows or rates.
GSS Machinery is hands down my favorite vendor. The customer service and dedication to completing every order on time is unbeatable. Excellent communication. It was a pleasure to work alongside them."
When structuring your material handling system, efficiency is key. When responding to customer or warehouse needs and planning for them, efficient logistics is essential. Material handling inbound inventory is just as important as those outbound.
There are four major categories of material handling equipment: storage, engineered system, bulk material handling, and industrial trucks.
Transfers move packages from one conveyor to another. The most common type is straight transfers, which are used to connect individual conveyors in a longer line. These conveyors are typically used in straight transfer applications: From one roller to the next. Belt to live roller
Overview. A conveyor system is a standard piece of mechanical handling equipment used in many industries to move goods, products, raw materials, and other materials from one location to another, usually within the same area or building.
System of Belt Conveyors
A belt conveyor, also known as a conveyor belt, is a simple conveyor with few features that is primarily used to transport bulk materials such as sand, salt, and grain. Its simplicity makes it simple to use and one of the most common types of conveyors.
