Incline conveyors are just one of many types of conveyor systems<\/a> that allow moving goods faster, safely and steadily while changing the vertical level. It is known that the standard speed for most unit-handling conveyors is 60 feet per minute (ft\/min). This is equal to the average speed of a warehouse worker carrying a 50-pound box. However, the speed of workers is significantly reduced when moving cargo vertically. This is typical of many mezzanine order picking and assembly operations. No one worker can maintain a smooth working rhythm with no loss of efficiency during the shift, moving goods up and down from a lower level to a higher level and vice versa.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The incline conveyors come to the rescue. Their speed varies from 30 ft\/min up to 120 ft\/min or higher. The decline conveyors, in contrast to the inclines, are commonly used to move items from an elevated platform to ground level with gravity aids and no extra energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That is why incline (upward) and decline (downward) conveyors are suitable for operations in loading docks, mezzanines, or floor-to-floor transitions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
