Heavy duty drag chain conveyors can be used for the transporting or accumulating of heavy pallets. They are a robust and widely utilized solution for loads that are not ideal for or not easily conveyed on roller conveyors.

As the name implies, these conveyors use chains to drag the loads to their destination, making them suitable for items that have uneven bottoms or difficult to move on more traditional roller conveyor setups. They can be configured to carry heavy loads as heavy-duty curve or heavy-duty straight conveyors and integrate with Hytrol’s EZLogic® technology. They also adapt well to handling wet, dirty, or oily products and can withstand high temperature environments. 

Hytrol’s heavy duty drag chain conveyors offer numerous benefits, making them ideal for automotive, manufacturing, and warehousing environments. With load capacities up to 6,000 lbs., these conveyors are designed to handle the heaviest loads efficiently and reliably.

A key advantage is their low maintenance requirements. Minimal repairs and downtime mean maximized productivity and reduced disruptions, translating to cost savings and increased efficiency for your business.
