Warehouse and dispatch

Warehousing & Distribution Conveyors UK: what to check first

Warehouse conveyor projects often focus on reducing manual handling, improving throughput and making packing or dispatch routes more consistent. The product base, weight and route determine whether belt, powered roller or a mixed layout is most suitable.

Powered roller conveyors are often useful where cartons or totes need transport and accumulation. Belt conveyors can support smaller packages, irregular bases or sections where continuous support is needed.

Specification should cover size range, peak throughput, workstation positions, barcode or labelling points, sortation needs, access routes and future growth.
