Flow Rails
Use rails to convey packages and pallets in flow racks and confined spaces. They are easier to maneuver and take up less area than a full conveyor.
Rails with a galvanized steel frame have a thick coating for more corrosion resistance than rails with a power-coated frame. Rails with a powder-coated steel frame have mild corrosion resistance. They have a finished appearance but are prone to chipping if there’s impact.
Style D rails have a flange that extends beyond the wheel to keep material flowing along the channel.
Style P rails have a removable package stop to prevent material from falling off the rail.
Note: Capacities are based on a fully supported rail.

Flanged-Wheel Flow Rails
The flange on the wheels separates and guides packages as they flow down the rails. Rails are a lightweight solution when you don't need a complete conveyor in confined spaces such as flow racks and assembly areas. The flange location is based on facing the unloading end of the rail.
Note: Capacities are based on a fully supported rail.

Multidirectional Flow Rails
Rotate materials in any direction on these flow rails. Use them to convey packages and pallets in flow racks, assembly areas, and confined spaces.
Ball transfers rotate to accommodate changes in direction.
Threaded-stud-mount ball transfers are attached to the rail with a stud and nut.
Flange-mount ball transfers are riveted in place.
Wheels have rollers around the wheel core to allow for multidirectional movement.
Note: Capacities are based on a fully supported rail.

Build-Your-Own Flow Rails
Configure wheels where you need them on these economical rails that you can cut to length.
Frames can be cut to your desired length and drilled for mounting. They have interlocking sides so you can connect rails side by side.
Spacers snap into the frame to increase wheel spacing. Multiple spacers can be used.
Wheels have a built-in bracket that snaps into the frame.
Note: Capacities are based on a fully supported rail.

Clamp-On Framing and Fittings
Fittings come in two pieces to clasp over rails, making assembly and disassembly quicker than our other framing. Use it to form temporary partitions, modular conveyors, and workstations. To assemble, clamp fittings onto the rail and tighten the included cap screw and nut. For permanent connections and added strength, fittings have a 5/32" hole to drill in an additional screw (not included).
For technical drawings and 3-D models, click on a part number.
Conveyor rails slide directly into the conveyor rail mounting brackets.
