ARCO engineers pallet conveyor systems that move loaded pallets safely and predictably. Roller conveyors handle transport up to 2,200 kg and fit into existing processes with low maintenance needs. Chain conveyors support robust pallet transfer and can be combined with other conveyor types for a compact layout.
In operation, straight roller or chain sections position each pallet for processing. Right angle transfers hand pallets to a perpendicular line for routing or buffering. Traverse shuttles bridge longer distances without building full runs of conveyor, which saves space and cost on wide layouts. Lifts connect levels where needed and keep vertical moves controlled.
The added value is stable throughput and simple service. Modules tie into pallet handling functions such as stacking or de-stacking and can be extended as volumes grow. Energy use stays low and displacement capacity remains high, so operators get a reliable flow during long shifts.

ARCO’s pallet conveyors move loaded pallets with precision, strength and smart routing. They support straight-line transport, chain drive sections, right-angle transfers, and traverse (shuttle) movement across the facility. Each system integrates with pallet lifts, stackers, and the plant control logic. The result is a robust flow that handles heavy loads efficiently and adapts to evolving layouts.
How pallet conveyors work in practice
In practice, loaded pallets move on roller or chain sections under PLC control, which prevents overload and keeps positioning accurate for each station. When the line must bridge distance, a traverse shuttle carries pallets laterally on rails and returns for the next cycle, so you avoid long continuous runs of conveyor. ARCO configures the setup for your pallet mix, including Euro, block, and half pallets, and links with pallet lifts for compact vertical moves. The outcome is predictable flow with low service effort and high load capacity, with roller conveyors specified up to about 2,000 kg per section.
