Product Specification

500kg Pallet Chain Conveyor with 12 m/min Speed for Warehouse Logistics and Automated Pallet Handling Systems

Product Overview

The 500kg pallet chain conveyor is a standard conveying unit designed for warehouse logistics and automated pallet handling systems. It is suitable for pallets, containers, and other regular large goods requiring continuous horizontal transfer. This model is rated for 500 kg load capacity and a standard conveying speed of 12 m/min, making it suitable for warehouse pallet circulation, AS/RS infeed and outfeed sections, workstation transfer, and logistics buffer lines.

The equipment adopts a chain and sprocket transmission structure driven by a motor. Compared with friction-based conveying methods, chain engagement is more suitable for regular pallet transport under defined load and line rhythm conditions. For projects requiring a fixed takt time, standard pallet load, and system integration, this conveyor is a practical solution.

Typical Application Need

In warehouse and automation projects, pallet transfer within the 500 kg range usually focuses on the following points:

• whether pallet movement remains stable during transfer
• whether the conveying speed matches upstream and downstream rhythm
• whether the conveyor can be integrated with roller conveyors, lift transfer units, or AS/RS interfaces
• whether it can operate in standard warehouse or low-temperature conditions

This model is intended for standard pallet logistics conditions, meaning pallet loads up to 500 kg, a line speed around 12 m/min, and mainly horizontal transfer and line connection tasks.

Technical Solution

This model uses a pallet chain conveyor structure mainly composed of support legs, conveying beams, chain and sprocket drive components, a motor drive unit, and a basic safety structure. During operation, the motor drives the sprocket, and the chain advances the pallet at a defined pitch.

Transmission Principle

• Positive chain and sprocket engagement provides controlled pallet movement
• Suitable for continuous horizontal conveying under the rated 500 kg load
• The 12 m/min standard speed matches common warehouse logistics line rhythm
• Can operate as part of an integrated automated conveyor system

Application Boundary

This page refers to the horizontal pallet chain conveyor unit itself, mainly for straight conveying and system connection.

If a project requires floor changes or vertical transfer, it normally needs to be combined with lifting equipment or vertical transfer units.

Specifications

Specification Notes

• 500 kg rated load: suitable for standard medium-load pallet transfer
• 12 m/min speed: suitable for warehouse and logistics line rhythm
• Low-temperature version down to -25°C: suitable for cold storage transfer projects
• 1500–3000 mm length options: suitable for workstation connection and buffer sections

Applications

This 500kg pallet chain conveyor is mainly used in the following scenarios:

Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Used for pallet infeed, outfeed, buffering, and station-to-station transfer.

Warehouse Logistics Conveyor Lines
Used for straight pallet transfer and line rhythm matching in warehouse systems.

Manufacturing Pallet Handling
Used for pallet transfer and intermediate buffering between production workstations.

Pallet Infeed and Outfeed Sections
Suitable for loading, unloading, handover, and transfer sections.

Low-Temperature Logistics Projects
The low-temperature version is suitable for cold storage and cold chain warehouse transfer.

System Integration

This conveyor can be used as a standard unit in pallet logistics systems and integrated with:

• roller conveyors
• lift transfer units
• AS/RS infeed and outfeed interfaces
• automated warehouse conveyor lines
• pallet buffer and diversion sections

In most projects, the 500kg pallet chain conveyor is used as a basic conveying module within a complete pallet handling system, rather than as a standalone machine.

Advantages

Suitable for Standard 500kg Pallet Handling
The rated load is clearly defined for standard pallet and medium-load regular goods transfer.

Clear 12 m/min Line Rhythm
The standard speed is suitable for matching upstream and downstream warehouse handling equipment.

Chain and Sprocket Drive for Pallet Applications
The positive engagement drive structure is practical for continuous pallet conveying.

Suitable for Standard and Low-Temperature Projects
The specified operating range covers -25°C to 5°C for low-temperature use and -5°C to 40°C for standard use.

Easy Integration into Automation Systems
It can be connected with AS/RS, lift transfer units, roller conveyors, and other pallet logistics equipment.

How to Select

This 500kg model is suitable when the following conditions apply:

Recommended Conditions

• pallet load ≤500 kg
