The NestaFlex 376PL is the leading expandable gravity conveyor for your high volume shipping needs and can be equipped with several engineered options including guide track and herringbone transition to help enhance productivity. With the fixed height legs, the conveyor maintains the required pitch to provide gravity flow. The leg brackets are engineered to keep the legs perpendicular to the floor when it is fully extended and contracted for maximum performance of the swivel casters.
The NestaFlex® 376 PL truck loader systems include a guide track and a herringbone transition that assists in extending and contracting the NestaFlex® under your fixed conveyor. This system provides a smooth transition of packages between the fixed conveyor and the NestaFlex® 376 PL conveyor. Its all steel construction gives you the highest quality flexible gravity conveyor for fluid loading of trailers at your docks.
- Load capacity 376 lbs/ft
- Steel skate wheels with steel ball bearings
- 3” axle centers for first 10’ of conveyor; remaining footage is 5 ¼” axle centers
- Elevations preset based on application
- Heavy duty steel square tubing zinc plated legs offer longer service life and stability
- Perpendicular legs
- Welded double horizontal leg braces
- Longitudinal leg brace on infeed and discharge
- Heavy duty 6” x 2” casters for easy movement with 4 total lock brake casters only on discharge end that stabilizes the conveyor while in use
- 7 gauge steel side links assembled using shoulder bolts with Loctite and steel locking nuts
- 5/16” diameter axle across the width
- Self-tracking design allows packages to follow the path of the conveyor without using engineered curves
- Heavy duty roller package stop prevents packages from falling off the end of the conveyor and serves as an ergonomic handle that assists the operator when pulling and pushing the conveyor in and out of the trailer. The roller helps the operator easily remove packages from the end of the conveyor when line pressure exists.
- 4” and 3” axle centers – to handle smaller packages
- Black poly skate wheels with steel ball bearing
- 8” x 2” casters
- Herringbone transition – assists in centering the cartons while providing a smooth transition from the feed conveyor down to the loader
- Guide Track – assists the operator in extending and retracting the conveyor out from underneath the feed system
- Rigid Discharge Cart – attaches to the end of the flexible conveyor to keep it in a fixed position, making it stronger to handle the line pressure from the packages especially when there is a slug release from the feeder conveyor during the loading process. Includes the standard heavy duty package stop.
- Curve guards – helps guide packages under accumulation circumstances when packages of varying sizes and shapes begin to build up causing a potential risk of packages being pushed off the conveyor around the curve. It protects packages from falling by creating a solid surface for them to follow. It has a flexible design to allow them to open and close with the flex of the conveyor
- Power Assist – primarily used to safely maneuver heavy conveyors into the nose and back out of trailers. It is ergonomically engineered to help operators move conveyor with minimal effort. It is used with the NestaFlex gravity products.
