How Add-On Solutions Improve Safety, Speed, and System Versatility
Conveyor systems do the heavy lifting — but they don’t work alone. When facilities need to move materials across different levels, secure outbound shipments, or handle unique loads, specialty equipment becomes essential. From vertical lifts to strapping machines, these add-ons can dramatically boost performance and safety when integrated properly.
At Affordable Conveyor, we don’t just install belts — we help you build complete material handling solutions designed for your specific needs.
What Qualifies as Specialty Equipment?
Specialty equipment includes machines that complement or enhance your conveyor system — especially in high-volume or complex workflows. Common examples include:
- VRCs (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors) for moving materials between floors
- Stretch-wrap machines to secure pallets before shipment
- Band-strapping systems for bundling heavy or bulky items
- Overhead monorail systems for space-saving transport
- Baggage handling conveyors for airports and logistics hubs
- Shelving and storage integration tied to automated flow
Each of these solutions solves a specific problem — and when properly integrated, they make your system smarter, safer, and more efficient.
When Should You Add Specialty Equipment?
You might not need a full conveyor overhaul, but your workflow could benefit from enhanced functionality. Consider integrating specialty equipment when:
- You’re handling multiple vertical levels or mezzanines
- Manual pallet wrapping is slowing down outbound lanes
- Your system needs to route large or oddly shaped products
- Safety regulations call for automated securing or lifting
- You want to reduce labor and improve consistency
The right equipment extension can eliminate friction points in your process and reduce reliance on manual labor.
Seamless Integration = Maximum ROI
Adding specialty equipment is about more than just plugging in a new machine. To get the full benefit, it must be:
- Calibrated to your conveyor speed and flow
- Positioned for optimal access and load transfer
- Connected to your controls and safety systems
- Installed with full operator training and documentation
That’s where our team comes in — we make sure your add-ons work with your existing layout, not against it
