Chain conveyor for pallet goods
Hanter’s chain conveyors are built for robust, reliable transport of pallet goods. The number of chain strands, the width and the speed are all adapted to the application — suiting everything from EUR pallets to mail cages and industrial trolleys.
Chain conveyors for safe, flexible handling of heavy goods
Chain conveyors are a robust solution for transporting pallet goods and other heavy load units. They are often used where conventional roller conveyors are not ideal, or where several types of load carrier have to be handled in the same system. The conveyors can be adapted for different pallet types, trolleys and special load carriers.
Because the goods are carried directly on the chains, the design can be optimised for both stability and capacity. Chain conveyors are used as stand-alone units or integrated with roller conveyors, transfer carts and vertical conveyors, for example, to create efficient goods flows.
A spare parts package kept on site shortens lead times and reduces the risk of operational disruptions. It also means less time from your first call to a technician being on site. Contact us for advice!

Frequently asked questions
To make things easier, we have gathered the answers to the most common questions in one place. Whether you want to know more about our services, deliveries or how to reach us, we hope you will find the answer here. Still can’t find what you are looking for?
What is a chain conveyor?
A chain conveyor moves goods on driven chain strands. The goods rest directly on the chains and are carried forward without rollers or belts. The solution is particularly suited to pallets and heavier load carriers.
Which load carriers can a chain conveyor handle?
The chain conveyor handles EUR pallets, half pallets, special pallets, mail cages and internal trolleys. The number of chain strands is matched to the dimensions of the load carrier to ensure stable support.
How does a chain conveyor differ from a roller conveyor?
The chain conveyor carries the goods directly on the chain and is best suited to pallets and heavy goods, whereas the roller conveyor suits lighter individual items. For EUR pallets, the chain conveyor also allows a more compact layout, since the pallet travels long side first.
Can the chain conveyor be integrated with other conveyor systems?
Yes — the chain conveyor integrates naturally with roller conveyors, turntables, vertical conveyors and pallet magazines in a complete internal logistics system.
