Heavy Unit Load Handling Systems
Extensive Technology and Application Knowledge
Real World Expertise Combined with the Widest
Range of Product Solutions Anywhere.
Dematic Heritage of Innovation
Dematic began designing and building conveyor systems
more than 60 years ago. Since then, we have pioneered
many industry developments, including the first accumulation
conveyor. With extensive R&D resources, Dematic’s engineers
continue to lead the way in conveyor technology — offering the
broadest range of solutions available. Our 70 year history gives
us unique knowledge and experience from installing thousands
of systems worldwide. Our systems have a reputation for
unmatched reliability.

Simulation Modeling
The ability to test your system before it is installed is an
invaluable asset. Dematic System Simulation creates a fully
functioning 3D model that helps us to evaluate your system’s
performance, while it is still in the planning stages. Optimized
Dematic System Simulation creates a fully functioning
system layout for improved throughput, refined software and

controls logic, and identification and alleviation of potential
bottlenecks are all benefits of using simulation models.

Early Detection of Bottlenecks
Roller Transportation Conveyors
These versatile transportation conveyors are designed
to convey everything from pallets to drums to work-inprocess containers. Transportation conveyors can be
chain or lineshaft driven.
Heavy duty chain driven units are designed to
withstand wide temperature variations as well as
contaminates. These conveyors transfer loads
positively and can operate at variable speeds.
Heavy duty lineshaft conveyor is modular, and its ability
to power multiple beds with a single drive means
efficient, quiet heavy load handling.

Roller Accumulation Conveyors
Dematic’s ongoing development of accumulation conveyor
assures that you are getting the latest technology for the
highest throughput rates. Their operation is simple, quiet and
reliable. Loads can be accumulated and then released in slug or
singulation modes.
Zero pressure accumulation conveyor can accommodate a wide
variety of load weights and sizes. Smooth starts and stops are
designed in, which ensures that even fragile or unstable loads
can be safely accumulated and released.
Chain Transportation and Accumulation
Conveyors
Low cost chain conveyors can be used when the bottom of
the load can be bridged from strand to strand. They are simple,
quiet and require little maintenance. Chain conveyor units, in
transportation as well as accumulation, are offered in two, three
or four strand configurations.
5
Right Angle Transfers
Pop-up chain transfers for roller transport, and pop-up roller
transfers for chain transport, both move product 90 degrees
to the direction of flow. These transfers redirect loads by
lifting and transferring, without reorienting them. They can
move product in either direction and can be used to sort
loads by transferring a load or allowing a load to pass
through. All Dematic right angle transfers are designed for
high, continuous throughput.
6
Turntables
Powered turntables reorient product by turning it ninety degrees
to the direction of flow. Once the load is turned, rollers transfer it in
either direction. These turntables can be used to distribute loads
by transferring only the loads that need to be transferred. Loads
may pass through the turntable without being redirected. The units
are quiet in operation and are built for long life.
7
Transfer Cars
Transfer cars efficiently distribute loads from
conveyor to conveyor. Transfer cars can
be used to sort loads, to pick orders or to
shuttle loads within a shipping operation.
Their smooth, well damped motion means
that product is always safe and secure.
Pallet Accumulators and Pallet Dispensers
These automatic units accumulate and dispense pallets
where high throughput is required. Safe, quiet and efficient
loading and unloading is designed in. Pallet accumulators and
dispensers are cost effective and maximize interior space.
8
Heavy Unit Load Lifts
Heavy unit load lifts move product from one level to another. They
maximize floor space and minimize load handling. Lifts provide transfer
positions for fork lifts or connect conveyor lines of differing heights. They
can also be used to raise or lower loads to feed production equipment,
overhead monorail systems or palletizing stations. Extra heavy duty
components provide long life and maximum uptime.
Patented Roller Base
When depressed, sensor rollers
eliminate drive in the up-stream zone,
allowing product to accumulate.

Additional Unit Load
Handling Technology.
Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems
(AGVS)
Automatic Guided Vehicle Systems expand the
capabilities of heavy unit load systems. When a nonfixed conveyance is required, AGVs may be the answer.
They are versatile, quiet and can share floor space with
people and fork lift traffic. Our Virtual Path® guidance
system uses a gyro for navigation and can be rerouted
easily by modifying its layout with AutoCAD Software.
Automated Electrified Monorail Systems
(AEM)
Monorail Systems make very efficient use of space by placing
the transport system neatly overhead. They work quietly and
can carry loads of up to 3000 pounds per trolley. Elevation
and directional changes can be incorporated into a continuous
rail. And, monorail systems support product transportation
speeds of up to 600 feet per minute.
10
Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems (AS/RS)
Only AS/RS offers; extra high density storage, a secure environment and fast
heavy unit load throughput. They also provide improved product tracking in a
quiet operating environment. Working in concert with other Dematic technology,
AS/RS delivers a comprehensive solution for your logistics needs.
Custom Designed Equipment
Our diverse experience with heavy unit load handling can be put to work in
your operation. Custom designed equipment, such as this satellite shuttle,
may offer a unique solution that can help you cut costs and gain productivity.
Dematic has many of these special tools already developed. Unique
equipment for work-in-process, packaging, and warehousing applications
allows us to provide you with the best solution.

Work-In-Process Systems
Finished Goods Handling Systems
Dematic understands the importance of keeping the manufacturing process
Finished goods can often be transported at higher speeds
on schedule. Work-in-process equipment designed with an eye on proper

busy and assures higher throughput.
Robotic Interface
The queuing of product, slip sheets and pallets through robotic cells
needs precise handling. Timing and positioning are the key to maintain a
consistent product flow. Dematic has been a pioneer in robotic interfaces
and understands that here, minding the details makes all the difference.
12
Packing and Shipping Systems
From fragile electronics and food products to complex
truck engines and washing machines, we have the
equipment that handles them all with a light touch.
Our product engineers know that moving loads
between packing and shipping tasks need careful, safe
transportation. Our equipment is also designed to be
integrated with wrappers, palletizers and other packing
and shipping equipment.
AS/RS Interface
Heavy unit load AS/RS systems require input and output staging and conveying
systems. These systems must work in concert with the AS/RS to provide just-in-time
product throughput. Working together the AS/RS and its interface provide a compact
and dense operation that maximizes floor space and minimizes product delivery time.
