  • Turning wheels can also be used at 90° transfers where Traffic Cops, Package Stops, and other product flow devices are incorporated
  • The wheel is mounted on an adjustable bracket to ensure proper item orientation through the transfer, reducing product damage and breakage.
  • Turning wheels are easily mounted to slider bed or side channels of powered and gravity conveyors
