• Excellent solution for logistics and distribution centers

Disadvantages (Cons)

1. Limited Load Capacity

• Suitable for lightweight cartons and parcels
• Not recommended for heavy pallets or industrial equipment

2. Requires Flat Product Bottom

• Best performance with flat-bottom cartons and plastic totes
• Soft bags or irregular-shaped products may not convey smoothly

3. Manual or Gravity Operation

• Requires manual pushing or a slight incline
• Product speed depends on gravity and product weight

4. Plastic Wheel Wear

• Plastic wheels may wear faster under heavy-duty applications
• Periodic inspection and replacement may be required

5. Limited Speed

• Not suitable for high-speed automated production lines
• Lower throughput than motorized conveyor systems

6. Not Suitable for Harsh Environments

• Plastic wheels may be affected by very high temperatures or heavy impacts
