Moving Floor Conveyors
Carry large unit loads through production on a wide modular belt surface.
Start with the product and its contact surface.
Connect the route, rate, and station timing.
Plan access, controls, and field work together.
The details shape the system.
Bring the assembly surface through the process.
Moving floor conveyors use a broad modular belt surface to carry large products through successive operations. The surface supports the product directly, unlike a towline that pulls a separate wheeled cart.
Consider the floor interface early.
Recessed, flush, and floor-supported layouts affect loading transitions, civil work, and access. Belt construction and surface grip depend on the product and operating environment.
- Product footprint and weight distribution across the surface.
- Station spacing, travel speed, and required process time.
- Loading and unloading transitions at each end.
- Cleaning, guarding, and service access around the belt.
Define how people work around the line.
Share the operations performed alongside the moving product and the access each station requires. Any need for personnel to travel on the surface requires a design specifically evaluated for that use.
Explore the arrangements.
Look closer at the configurations that suit your production.
Plan the movement.
Coordinate the controls.
Starts, stops, accumulation, and transfers need to work with the equipment around them. Plan the operating sequence across floor and overhead conveyors together.

Bring the product, production goal, and a rough layout. IMH will help work through the equipment, interfaces, and installation scope.
