 Skillet conveyors are large, moving
platforms that support both the
vehicle and the manufacturing team
performing assembly operations.
Known as a platform conveyor, the
“skillets” are arranged in a positive
contact, accumulated manner,
creating the effect of a moving floor.
This type of conveyor system
provides a synergy between people,
processes, and technology. The
ergonomic design helps to reduce
fatigue and improve production quality
by allowing the vehicle height to be
adjusted throughout the assembly
process. Each pallet can be customized
for each product, station, and operation.
Some systems are so advanced, that
as vehicles progress between the
different stations, the conveyor system
adjusts their height automatically to
allow for improved quality and
ergonomic ease of assembly. Depend-
ing on the process, team members
may also be allowed to adjust the
working level to their comfortable
working height. Decking on these
pallets is normally a fatigue relief
material to further improve worker
comfort and productivity.
Belt driven cross transfer
Skillet conveyors offer advanced conveyor alternatives yet
remain reliable, flexible, and economical. They integrate well
with other material handling systems, assembly automation,
and manipulators such as scissors lifts and rotators to meet
production requirements.
When you consider the added flexibility, nearly unlimited product
access, and ease of modification for future processes and
product changes, you’ll find the skillet system is an ideal material
