Tow Conveyors

Tow Conveyors are floor-mounted material handling systems designed to move heavy loads along a fixed path using powered chains or cables embedded in the floor. They are ideal for transporting wheeled carriers, pallets, or trolleys in a controlled and continuous manner, especially in assembly and production environments.

This conveyor system is widely used where synchronized movement, accurate positioning, and consistent flow of materials are required. Tow conveyors can be designed with in-floor or above-floor layouts and easily integrated with workstations, lifts, and turntables, making them highly suitable for automated and semi-automated production lines.

Key Features

• Powered chain or cable-driven towing mechanism.
• Suitable for pallet, trolley, and skid-based transport.
