What you are hiring
Unpowered roller conveyors that move goods with gravity
A gravity roller conveyor is an unpowered series of rollers set on a slight downward slope. Box materials roll along it easily over short or long distances, with no built in motor to run or maintain.
Our gravity roller conveyors are among the simplest roller conveyor systems in any warehouse: every conveyor roller spins freely, so a gentle slope or a small push is all it takes to keep stock moving. That makes them one of the most cost-effective conveyor rollers Sydney businesses can hire for short term jobs. We also supply conveyor rollers Australia wide for interstate and regional work.
If your load needs a continuous belt rather than free rollers, look at our conveyor hire range, including trough and flatbed roller conveyor belt options.
Where they are used
Built for unloading, warehousing and temporary jobs
Hire a gravity roller conveyor when you need to move cartons fast without endless manual carrying, and only for as long as the job lasts.
Container unloading
Run a line straight out of the container so the team unloads faster, with far less lifting and carrying.
Warehouse movement
Shift boxes between picking, packing and despatch without staff walking stock back and forth by hand.
Distribution centres
Add capacity in a distribution centre for a busy period, then return the gear when the peak is over.
Relocations & events
Set up a temporary conveyor for a move, fit out, event or warehouse change, with no permanent install.
How it works
Gravity, a slope, or a small push
A roller conveyor moves goods without any power. Set the frame on a slight downward slope and gravity carries each box from one end to the other. On a level run, one worker gives a light push and the load rolls on. There is no motor, no cabling and nothing to plug in.
Because the design is so simple, the gear is easy to use and quick to set up, and staff can run it with almost no training. That is what makes unpowered roller conveyors the cheapest method of conveying products quickly across a short or long distance.
No power needed. Gravity or a small push does the work, so there is no motor to run.
Fast to deploy. Lengths connect together and the line is ready in minutes.
Easy on the team. Less lifting and carrying means less worker fatigue.

Common questions
Gravity roller conveyor hire FAQs
What is a gravity roller conveyor used for?
A gravity roller conveyor is used to move cartons, boxes and packaged goods over short or long distances without a motor. It is ideal for unloading containers, moving stock around a warehouse, and feeding packing and despatch in a distribution centre.
How does a gravity roller conveyor work?
It works with gravity. The rollers spin freely on a frame set at a slight downward slope, so each box rolls from the high end to the low end. On a level section, a worker gives a small push and the load keeps moving. There is no motor and nothing to plug in.
Can you hire gravity roller conveyors short term?
Yes. Roller conveyor hire suits short term and temporary needs, so you can take the gear for a single job, a relocation, an event, or a busy period and return it afterwards. That avoids the cost of buying permanent conveyor infrastructure you will not always use.
How much does gravity roller conveyor hire cost?
Cost depends on how many straight lengths, bends and stands you need and how long you hire them. Because the system is unpowered, it is the cheapest method of conveying products quickly. Call (02) 9707 2797 for a quote, and see how our hire charges work.
What weight can a gravity roller conveyor handle?
Capacity depends on the box weight, size and how it sits across the rollers, which run at 50mm diameter and 75mm centre to centre. Tell us your heaviest item and the path it needs to travel and we will confirm the right setup for the load.
What is the difference between gravity and powered roller conveyors?
A gravity roller conveyor uses no power, relying on a slope or a push, which makes it cheaper and simpler to run. A powered roller conveyor uses an electric motor to drive the rollers, which suits higher volume or longer level runs. For most box and carton jobs, gravity is the lower cost choice.
What lengths and configurations are available to hire?
We hire 3 metre straight lengths and 90° bend sections, with standard adjustable stands from 540mm to 840mm and ball roller tables as optional extras. You can combine these to build longer roller conveyor systems that fit your site.
Do you deliver gravity rollers across Sydney and Australia?
Yes. We are based at Condell Park in Sydney and offer conveyor hire across Sydney, with hire also available Australia wide for interstate and regional jobs. Pickup and drop off is from our Condell Park yard, or ask about delivery.
