Direct Conveyors designs and builds precision-engineered low-profile conveyor systems and modular conveyance solutions for manufacturers and system integrators. From standard 48 and 74 Series conveyors to custom timing belt, flat belt, chain, and modular plastic belt conveyors, we help you move parts reliably through assembly, inspection, packaging, and automated workcells. Our team combines in-house design and manufacturing with fast turnaround, practical customization, and responsive support, so you can keep projects on schedule and lines running smoothly. At Automate 2026, stop by Booth 32000 to see how our conveyor platforms integrate into real-world automation. We support a wide range of applications, including palletized assembly and AMR top modules. Ask us about AMR-ready conveyors and toppers, lifts, risers, and stations that can be tailored to your payload, transfer method, and footprint. Controls are flexible, with options that are controls-agnostic or built with integrated control strategies through our partners. If you are looking to standardize pallet flow, our pallet tool system conveyance approach pairs practical customization with scalable modules, so you can build transport, buffer, transfer, lift/locate, rotate, curve, and elevator functions into a cohesive system. Whether you need a fast-turn standard conveyor or a custom solution that fits a tight workcell, we focus on durability, precision, and seamless integration. Bring your layout, part, or process challenge and talk with our team about improving throughput, reducing downtime, and simplifying maintenance. We will help you identify the right conveyor style, belt or chain technology, and integration approach for your line. See you in Chicago, June 22 to 25.
