Improved Material Handling Starts With Better Roll Cage Handling Systems

Roll cages are the backbone of grocery market delivery cycles, and we’ve spent over 30 years perfecting the conveyor systems that move them. From frozen zones at -30 °C to ambient environments reaching 40 °C, our technology is built to perform with unwavering precision and efficiency. See what’s possible for your business.

TGW Logistics’ conveyor systems are compatible with various material handling environments, including mixed transport of roll cages and pallets up to 1.000 kg. Our systems adapt to your container type, so both metal and plastic-based roll containers get consistent, stable transport every step of the way.

Technology’s Role In Material Handling

The strength of a TGW Logistics’ conveyor system shines through in the details that keep it running daily. Thoughtful design features like precision hand wheel chain tensioning, overlapping chain tracks, and low-friction guide wedges work quietly in the background to minimize wear, improve safety, and facilitate uninterrupted transport. Even in environments with incline changes or extreme temperatures, our systems are engineered for reliability where it matters most—on the ground, in motion, and at scale.

Hand wheel for chain tensioning

Operation via hand wheel enables precise adjustment of the chain tension for minimal wear.

Use of roller chains

Safe transport of the roll cage through use of roller chains. The infeed and outfeed conveyors can have an incline of up to ≤ 3°.

Use of guide wedges

Maximum availability thanks to smooth surfaces and the use of guide wedges for guiding the roll cages.

Overlapping chain tracks

Overlapping chain tracks on the inner side of the chain conveyor for uninterrupted transport.
