                    Whether car seats, truck tires, electric motors, batteries, or
                 household devices, driven conveyors do not always have to handle
                 heavy pallets weighing 1,200 kilograms (2,645 pounds). For
                 automated applications that move goods weighing up to 250 kilograms
                 (551 pounds), the complete pallet conveyor system  is a suitable
