Frequent Questions

What maintenance should I expect with Align’s ergonomic equipment?

Our Lifts & Tilts use Rulon Bushings that provide longer wear and extended operating life with a self-lubricating design. Combining these Bushings with our high quality steel creates a long lasting piece of equipment with minimal maintenance.

How can I use the different ergonomic equipment together?

Our equipment can be used in many configurations such as Lift & Tilt, Lift & Rotate, and Lift, Tilt, and & Rotate Tables.

Why should I buy from Align Production Systems instead of other manufacturers?

Align values high quality materials and engineering. Traditions bearings don’t provide sufficient lubrication, whereas the Rulon Bushings featured in our ergonomic equipment are self-lubricating. Our equipment allows for off-center loading thanks to our premium engineering and build quality.

Custom Conveyor Systems

View video

Overview

Over/Unders usually come in three position, five position, or seven position configurations. Customers commonly utilize gravity fed, inbound-outbound lanes, – however, powered lanes are a common option. Over/Unders are typically used to reduce fork truck demand, empower workers, and to index product racking into hard to reach manufacturing spaces. The Align Production Systems engineering team has years of experience designing custom engineered conveyor systems for industry leaders looking for specialty conveyor solutions to their manufacturing problems.

Safety

By keeping workers distanced from fork truck operations, conveyor systems give workers the space they need to safely perform their duties.

Queueing

Fork truck operations see increased efficiency with products being queued up for operators to move.

Ergonomics

Common options on our conveyor systems are our lifts, tilts, and rotates to help get products on the conveyor lines in the correct ergonomic position.

Side-by-Side Conveyors

Back to Conveyor Systems

Side-by-Side Conveyors

Easy & Safe Movement

Side by Side Conveyors are the solution for safely handling and moving inbound and outbound products. Commonly used as rack handling systems for maintaining production rates, creating safety separation, as well as reducing fork truck demand.

Side-by-Side Conveyors

Overview

Inbound and outbound lanes can be either gravity or powered, with pop-up chain cross transfer stations as a common feature. In addition to rollers, APS can provide chain indexing systems. Don’t forget to consider integration of APS lifts, tilts, rotates, or large rack-handling turntables into these systems. APS handles heavy racks, pallets, dunnage and containers, commonly designing systems for 2,000 to 8,000 lbs. loads. Controls can range from simple, manual operator actuated, to more complex robot PLC interface ready systems.
