At Jarvis Handling Equipment Co., we supply a complete range of industrial conveyor systems designed to move materials efficiently, safely, and reliably throughout your facility. From standard-duty to heavy-duty systems, our conveyors support all types of manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution operations.

Whether you need to transport, accumulate, elevate, or integrate product flow, Jarvis delivers conveyor solutions and custom fabrications that enhance productivity and reduce material handling time.

Conveyor Types We Offer

Standard & Heavy-Duty Conveyors
Built for strength, reliability, and continuous operation, these conveyors handle everything from light packaging to heavy industrial loads. Ideal for environments that demand long-lasting, low-maintenance performance.

Low Profile Conveyors
Designed for applications with limited space or where conveyors must integrate with existing machinery. These compact systems are ideal for assembly lines, machine feeding, or tight production areas.

Powered Roller Conveyors
Used for controlled movement of boxes, totes, or pallets. Powered roller conveyors are ideal for accumulation zones, packaging areas, and automated lines, allowing consistent flow with minimal manual labor.

Belt Conveyors
A versatile option for transporting products of varying shapes and sizes. Belt conveyors are commonly used for assembly, inspection, packaging, and transferring materials over distances or elevation changes.

Gravity Conveyors
A simple, cost-effective method to move materials using gravity. Perfect for loading docks, shipping areas, and pick stations, these conveyors require no power and minimal maintenance.

Line Shaft Conveyors
Powered by a single rotating shaft, line shaft conveyors are efficient for moving multiple zones of light to medium loads. Commonly used in distribution, order fulfillment, and light manufacturing.

Steel / Metal Belt Conveyors
Designed for high-temperature, abrasive, or heavy-duty applications. Metal belt conveyors handle parts, scrap, and bulk materials that would damage conventional systems that are ideal for metalworking or stamping operations.

Spiral Conveyors
An efficient, space-saving solution for moving materials vertically between levels. Spiral conveyors provide continuous product flow while maximizing floor space in multi-level facilities.

VRC (Vertical Reciprocating Conveyors)
Safely lift materials between floors or mezzanine levels. VRCs are a reliable alternative to forklifts and manual lifting, commonly used in warehouses, manufacturing plants, and material transfer operations.

Conveyor Systems & Custom Fabrications
When standard equipment isn’t enough, Jarvis provides custom conveyor layouts and system designs to match your exact space and workflow. From single-line conveyors to integrated facility systems, we help plan and deliver turnkey solutions.
