Conveying Equipment
In warehouse projects, we rarely evaluate a conveyor by its maximum speed alone.
The real test is what happens when several shuttle robots or stacker cranes release loads at the same time. These machines may share only several routes, making the conveyor the narrowest—and often busiest—part of the material flow.
For this reason, conveying capacity should be calculated from combined peak demand rather than average volume. Availability and stable operation are just as important as rated speed.
A well-planned conveying system does more than connect equipment. It protects the throughput already created by the AS/RS and keeps the warehouse moving during real operating peaks.

How Can You Quickly Determine Which Conveying Equipment to Consider First?
If you are not sure which product to look at, start with three questions:
Are you moving pallets or totes?
Does the load move horizontally or vertically?
Does it need to change direction or elevation along the route?

Your Logistics Scenario |
Priority Equipment |
What It Mainly Solves |

Totes need to transfer or divert between different conveyor routes |
Tote Transfer Machine |
Tote transfer and diversion between conveyor lines |
Can be combined with roller conveyors, belt conveyors, and tote storage equipment to create continuous tote flow |
Not Sure Which Equipment to Start With?
Prepare the load dimensions, weight, origin and destination points, conveying elevation, and peak hourly throughput. In most cases, this is enough to narrow down the appropriate equipment type.
How Is a Complete Material Flow Connected?
The value of conveying equipment is often not in one individual machine, but in making sure the upstream equipment can discharge the load and the downstream equipment can receive it.
A Typical Pallet Flow May Look Like This
Production Line / Receiving
→ Roller / Chain Conveyor
→ 90° Transfer
→ Pallet Lifter
→ Stacker Crane / Pallet Shuttle AS/RS
If the pallet only needs to travel straight, a conveyor handles the transfer. If it needs to change direction, a transfer machine is added. If the elevation changes, a Pallet Lifter continues the flow.
A Typical Tote Flow May Look Like This
Tote Shuttle / Miniload
→ Tote Lifter
→ Tote Conveyor
→ Goods-to-Person Station
A load leaving the automated storage system does not mean the task is finished.
The task is complete only when the load passes smoothly through every interface and reaches the next process that needs it.

Q: 1. Both Roller Conveyors and Chain Conveyors can move pallets. How do I choose?
A: Start with the pallet bottom structure and load.
A Roller Conveyor supports the pallet on rollers and is more suitable for pallets that can sit stably on roller surfaces during continuous conveying.
A Chain Conveyor carries the pallet directly on chains and is more suitable for heavy loads or pallets that require specific support positions. DELIECN Chain Conveyors support loads up to 3,000 kg.
Q: 2. What is the difference between a Pallet Lifter and a Landing & Lifting Machine?
A: Both involve elevation changes, but they solve different problems.
A Pallet Lifter handles vertical transfer over a larger height range, such as between different rack levels or floors.
A Landing & Lifting Machine works more like a short-stroke elevation interface. It is mainly used to connect conveyors with floor-level AMRs, AGVs, or pallet handling equipment.
Q: 3. How fast should a conveyor line actually run?
A: Do not start with the maximum conveyor speed.
The first questions should be:
How many pallets or totes must pass per hour at peak time? How long does each transfer take? How much can the lifter handle? Can the downstream workstation receive the loads fast enough?
If the real bottleneck is a lifter or a 90° transfer point, increasing the speed of the straight conveyor will not improve overall throughput.
Q: 4. Can non-standard pallets or totes be conveyed?
A: They need to be evaluated based on dimensions, weight, bottom structure, and support points.
The width, length, and height of DELIECN pallet conveying equipment can be adapted to project requirements. Roller Conveyors and Chain Conveyors can also be configured for different pallet sizes, while tote conveying equipment can handle different tote and carton dimensions.
For projects with large variations in load-carrier specifications, sometimes adjusting the equipment is enough. In other cases, standardizing the load carrier may be the better solution.
