Gravity Conveyors
Non-powered rollers and skatewheels — the economical workhorse for docks, flow lanes, and assembly benches.
Explore gravity conveyors →Belt Conveyors
Slider bed and roller bed belts for transport and inclines — bags, boxes, and everything irregular in between.
Explore belt conveyors →Live Roller Conveyors
Powered BDLR, zero-pressure accumulation, lineshaft, and MDR — carton transport without line pressure.
Explore live roller →Sortation Systems
Sliding shoe, pop-up wheel, and ARB sorters that scan, track, and divert — 200+ cases per minute.
Explore sortation →Pallet Handling
CDLR, zero-pressure pallet accumulation, chain transfers, transfer cars, and turntables for heavy unit loads.
Explore pallet handling →Vertical Conveyors
Reciprocating and continuous lifts to 3,000 products/hour — elevation change in the smallest footprint.
Explore vertical conveyors →Spiral Conveyors
Continuous helical flow to 240" of elevation with one drive motor — heavy-duty, washdown, and mass flow.
Explore spiral conveyors →Table Top Conveyors
Plastic chain and MatTop belting — the backbone of packaging lines, with roller-top and ZPA technology.
Explore table top →Cable Conveyor
Gentle, low-friction cable rides for empty and filled containers — with alpines and spiral elevators.
Explore cable conveyor →Air Conveyor
PET bottles ride filtered air by the neck ring — blow molder to filler, with in-track accumulation.
Explore air conveyor →Overhead Handling
Enclosed track, I-beam, and power & free systems that free the floor — paint lines to order fulfillment.
Explore overhead handling →Automated Guided Vehicles
Laser-guided fork, conveyor deck, lift deck, and roll-handling vehicles — when routes change and space is tight.
Explore AGVs →Extendable Conveyors
Telescoping booms that load and unload trailers all the way to the nose — parcel and e-commerce docks.

| You need to… | Start with |
|---|---|
| Move cartons economically, no power | Gravity conveyors |
| Transport boxes, bags, or incline between levels | Belt conveyors |
| Accumulate cartons without crushing or pressure | Live roller (zero-pressure) |
| Sort cartons to lanes, doors, or destinations | Sortation systems |
| Move, accumulate, or transfer pallets | Pallet handling (CDLR) or AGVs |
| Change floors in the tightest footprint | Vertical conveyors |
| Continuous high-rate elevation change | Spiral conveyors |
| Run bottles, cans, or jars through packaging | Table top, cable, or air conveyor |
| Free the floor entirely — paint, coat, buffer overhead | Overhead handling |
| Load and unload trailers to the nose | Extendable conveyors |
Most real systems combine several of these — table top through filling, a spiral up, accumulation into a sorter, extendables at the dock. That's systems integration, and it's what our design & project management process and controls team exist to deliver.
Conveyor System FAQs
What types of conveyor systems do you provide?
Thirteen technologies: gravity, belt, live roller, sortation, pallet handling, vertical, spiral, table top, cable, air, overhead handling, automated guided vehicles, and extendable conveyors — provided, installed, and serviced as complete systems with controls.
How do I choose the right conveyor type?
Start from the load and the job: cartons → belt or live roller; pressure-free accumulation → zero-pressure live roller; sorting → sortation; pallets → CDLR or AGVs; bottles and cans → table top, cable, or air; elevation → incline belt, spiral, or vertical; trailer loading → extendable; freeing floor space → overhead. Our design process analyzes your requirements and facility before recommending anything.
Do you install and service conveyors as well as supply them?
Yes — we provide, install, and service all types of conveyor systems. Engage us for the whole job or any part: equipment, design, project management, installation, or controls, including upgrades to existing lines.
Can different conveyor types be combined into one system?
That's the norm. A typical line runs table top through filling, spiral up to an overhead level, live roller accumulation into a sorter, and extendables at the dock — coordinated by one controls package. Designing those combinations is exactly what a systems integrator does.
Do you serve Houston and the rest of Texas?
Yes — Lone Star Automated Systems is an experienced and trusted source for conveyor equipment and service throughout Texas and beyond, headquartered in Houston. Call 713-532-4444 for expert assistance.
