Conveyor Rollers
Ashland offers a range of gravity conveyor systems, with a wide variety of roller and frame combinations that can be determined by the dimensions and weight of the load. Gravity rollers will convey light, medium and heavy loads that have firm, flat bottoms, such as cartons, totes, cases, skids and drums.
Ashland rollers are available in five roller tube classifications:
- Aluminum
- Plain steel
- Galvanized steel
- Stainless steel
- PVC
Ashland’s gravity roller conveying solutions efficiently move products or materials by reducing the effort it takes to move loads in warehousing, package handling, manufacturing and distribution tasks. Roller brackets are available for custom installation of single or multiple rollers. Replacement conveyor parts and accessories are available for all Ashland systems

Straight Conveyor Rollers
Ashland straight conveyor rollers are used in straight-line sections of conveyor systems where gravity or momentum propel the conveyanced item forward. Witha wide range of conveyor rollers sizes, materials and bearing options, Ashland has the rollers that will fit your material handling needs.
Tapered Conveyor Rollers
Ashland Tapered Conveyor Rollers are used in curved sections of gravity conveyor systems. They have an outer diameter that is larger than the inner diameter, which helps keep the material being conveyed on track as it moves along. They are ideal for applications where the material being conveyed is sensitive to vibration or damage. Tapered rollers can also help to reduce the amount of space required for a conveyor system, as they can create tight curves.
The most common size for a tapered conveyor roller is 2 1/2” diameter on the large end, which tapers down to a 1 5/8” diameter on the small end. Installing tapered conveyor rollers delivers directional package handling without using side guards.
