Choosing the Right Conveyor Stand | A Quick Guide

Conveyor systems are essential for efficient material handling—but to operate safely and effectively, they need the right support. That’s where conveyor stands come in. A Plus Warehouse offers a range of conveyor stand options, each designed to fit specific applications, load capacities, and mobility needs. Here’s a look at the main types available:

1. V-Roller Stands

V-Roller Stands are ideal for guiding round or irregular items like pipes or bars. The V-shaped rollers provide directional control and stability. These are commonly used in manufacturing environments where cylindrical products need precise support during movement.

Best for: Pipes, tubes, and cylindrical materials
Key Feature: Directional control with minimal resistance

2. Tripod Conveyor Supports

These are sturdy, three-legged stands designed to hold gravity or light-powered conveyors in fixed positions. They’re easy to adjust and provide solid support for systems in semi-permanent locations.

Best for: Static conveyor setups
Key Feature: Economical and adjustable with high stability

3. Light Duty Conveyor Supports

If you're working with skate wheel or 1.9” roller conveyors, light-duty supports are a great choice. They offer simple height adjustment and are built for smaller loads in lighter applications.

Best for: Light product handling
Key Feature: Easy to adjust and install

4. Mobile Conveyor Stands

Need to move your conveyors frequently? Mobile conveyor stands are fitted with casters for flexibility. You can reconfigure your layout on the fly, making them ideal for dynamic workspaces.

Best for: Flexible workstations or temporary setups
Key Feature: Mobility and quick repositioning

5. Lightweight Roller Stands

Lightweight roller stands combine portability with strength. Available in different widths and heights, they feature ball-bearing swivel casters for smooth movement and are perfect for small conveyors and temporary setups.

Best for: Portable conveyor systems
Key Feature: Adjustable and mobile with a compact footprint

Final Thoughts

Choosing the right conveyor stand depends on your workspace layout, load requirements, and the level of flexibility you need. Whether you're setting up a permanent line or need a mobile solution, A Plus Warehouse has a conveyor stand designed to meet your needs.
