Gravity Conveyors, Frames &<br />
Rigid Supports<br />
The <strong>Backsafe</strong> range of gravity conveyors will enable<br />
goods of various shapes, sizes and weights to be<br />
moved quickly, efficiently and safely from one<br />
operational stage to the next.<br />
Your choice of roller or wheel conveyor will depend on the nature<br />
of the articles to be moved. Generally goods that are heavy or<br />
less uniform in shape, or both, will require roller conveyors.<br />
Lighter and more uniform articles may well suit the use of wheel<br />
conveyor, which have the capacity to move goods quicker.<br />
Although each part of a gravity section has separate load<br />
capacities, it is important to note that the overall capacity of the<br />
section is dependent upon the combination of roller pitch, roller<br />
type and the method of support. If in doubt, please refer to your<br />
nearest <strong>Backsafe</strong> representative.<br />
Standard roller conveyor frames and rigid supports are supplied<br />
in a painted condition. Where adverse operating conditions exist,<br />
hot-dip galvanised frames and supports are available.<br />
Roller Conveyor Frame (90 x 28 x 2.5 channel) Available in both<br />
straight and curved sections, the side channel is made from<br />
2.5mm thick material, folded in a ‘C’ section for strength.<br />
The cross members are made of inverted 40 mm x 40 mm<br />
x 3mm angle iron, strategically welded into position to reinforce<br />
the section and provide a bed for the rigid support.<br />
There are standard lengths for straight sections (1500 mm and<br />
3000mm) and curves 45 degree and 90 degree).<br />
‘Oval’ axle holes to suit our standard <strong>Backsafe</strong> gravity rollers are<br />
punched at 37.5 mm centres for flexibility of roller pitch.<br />
Sections interlock to form a positive and secure join between<br />
frames allowing the flexibility to add or reduce sections as<br />
required. Straight sections incorporate a bar coupler at one<br />
end and a hook coupler at the other. Curved sections have<br />
universal couplers at both ends.<br />
Non standard lengths or widths available upon request.<br />
Rigid Supports<br />
<strong>Backsafe</strong> rigid supports provide a firm foundation for all the roller<br />
and wheel conveyor sections in the range.<br />
Made from tubular construction and fully welded for strength<br />
and reliability, each stand can be individually adjusted to the<br />
height required. A range of models is available to suit various<br />
frame widths, providing the choice of operating heights from<br />
305 mm to 1320 mm.<br />
While supports have the flexibility to be used as freestanding<br />
units, it is recommended that they are bolted into position to<br />
ensure operator safety.<br />
