We’ve all encountered conveyor belts or conveyors at supermarkets or airports. Many of us have seen captivating footage of conveyors and automation systems in action at warehouses and factories in documentaries, YouTube videos, or TikTok shorts. This article will help you understand how a conveyor system from Conveyor Systems Limited (CSL) can boost your business’s efficiency, maximise throughput, and accelerate your processes.
Conveyor Systems are widely used across industries to move products, raw materials, and other goods between locations or within a building. They enable businesses to transport heavy or cumbersome items quickly and easily, streamline production lines, and facilitate the integration of stationary machinery into an automation system.
While most conveyor systems are stationary, portable conveyors allow for flexible positioning, speed up vehicle loading and unloading, and reduce on-site times for faster deliveries or pickups.

"I have found working with CSL the ideal partnership, they understood the brief and worked closely with CEF to ensure the design met all of the criteria. The support from start to finish was excellent. The project ran smoothly from start to finish. The system has made our new warehouse very efficient and allowed us to increase the throughput"
“As this was a new facility it was difficult to visualise the conveyor system prior to the mezzanine floor installation, but CSL provided a detailed 3D drawing which included both the mezzanine and the conveyors which brought clarity to this. The install process was smooth and the end results have allowed us to increase control, flexibility & volumes”
“We have worked with CSL previously and after many years of reliable operation we decided to use CSL again to design, supply and carry out the installation. As with the last system the benefits became almost immediately evident”
