ABSTRACT:
A stabilized pallet-type carrier is provided for use with automatic conveyor systems. The pallet-type carrier includes a stabilizer means disposed at outer ends thereof for engaging the track support which keeps the pallet level or horizontal through turns in the conveyor system. The stabilized pallet-type carrier also features spring-biased or spring-loaded shoe assemblies that engage the conveyors. The spring-loaded shoe assemblies provide shock absorbing qualities for the carrier as the carrier is transported by the automated conveyor system. The stabilizing features of the present invention provide an improved pallet-type carrier that maintains a level or horizontal posture during sharp turns in a conveyor system and during a transition between a single conveyor and dual or parallel conveyors. The present invention also provides an improved lightweight pallet guide or shoe that combines the benefits of using a lightweight material such as plastic or polyurethane with the superior wear characteristics of using a metallic material such as steel.
