Pallet conveying technology encompasses technical systems and equipment for the automated transport of pallets within production and logistics areas. It enables the efficient movement, staging, and transfer of load units between different process steps.

Components of pallet conveying technology include, for example, roller conveyors, chain conveyors, lifting stations, turntables, and automatic transfer units. It is often combined with sensor technology, control systems, and warehouse automation to move pallets safely and reliably. In conjunction with WMS, DWS, and other automation solutions, pallets can be identified, tracked, and directed to the next process steps.

Practical example:
In an automated high-bay warehouse, pallet conveying technology transports a measured and identified pallet from the goods receiving area to the designated storage location.
