Gravity wheel conveyor
From wikiMHEDA
Ideal for light-duty handling requirements where the load is flat and smooth, a gravity wheel conveyor supports the load on a series of skate wheels mounted on a shaft in a frame. The conveyor sections can be either rigid (straight or curved) or flexible. In the latter case, the frame is actually an accordion frame capable of being expanded or curved, making it ideal for temporary applications such as the loading and unloading of over-the-road trucks.[1]
