What Are The Different Types of Pallet System Conveyors?

In Pallet Systems, pallets serve as plates or product carriers and are used for light-medium weight items that require stability, organization, tracking or more automation. Pallet systems are powered by motors and often use rollers, chains or slat-style conveyors to support the product and maintain smooth movement.
