Product Overview

The pushing mechanism slides goods horizontally from the old pallet onto a new one, with no lifting, tilting, or clamping in the transfer. It is rated up to 55 pallets per hour, handles goods up to 1160 × 1180 mm, and can be built for loads up to 1000 kg, taking new pallets from an AGV (single or up to 10 stacked) and connecting to your conveyors and WCS for sorting and scheduling. Shortlist it when loads are stable enough to be pushed sideways (≥ 30 mm edge overlap), your target rate is within the rated range, and you need AGV/WCS integration. The published load rating and achievable cycle rate are confirmed per project.

A pallet changing line replaces the pallet under a load — damaged pallet out, clean or destination-spec pallet in — while goods maintain continuous overall process flow, halting briefly only during the rapid horizontal swap station. As an inline configuration, it sits between your upstream and downstream conveyors, so loads pass through instead of detouring to a standalone machine. Unlike rotary or tilting inverters, this pushing-type inline system transfers goods purely on a horizontal plane, without changing package orientation or clamping the product body.

The line accepts wood and plastic pallets and adapts to different pallet sizes and types. It can connect to discharge and collection conveyors, be scheduled by a warehouse control system (WCS), and be paired with palletizing or depalletizing machines.

Operating Sequence

How a Pushing-Type Pallet Change Works

Infeed and alignment

The loaded pallet enters on the heavy load roller conveyor (representative module, dimensions in mm: L1500 × W1200 × H850). Sensors check load position and alignment before the cycle starts.
Height detection

A height detection device measures each load. Goods above the set height limit are routed to a reject/bypass conveyor section designed for taller clearance, instead of entering the transfer point. This is a safety interlock that keeps over-height loads clear of the pushing zone — the machine itself does not lift loads vertically. The limit value is set per project.
AGV pallet supply

An AGV delivers new pallets — one at a time or up to 10 stacked — and aligns automatically with the line conveyor. In the representative supply scope, the Pallet Dismantling Machine (L1500 × W2500 × H2800) destacks pallets and feeds them to the line, the Dismantling and Stacking Machine (L1500 × W2500 × H2800) collects and stacks emptied pallets, and the Pallet Changer module (L7000 × W1500 × H2800) is the main transfer section. Whole-line straight-line space is typically required; the final run length is confirmed against your floor plan.
Horizontal transfer

The pushing mechanism moves the load sideways from the old pallet onto the new one. The load is not lifted, tilted, or clamped during the change; a minimum edge overlap of 30 mm between the load edge and the receiving pallet deckboard is required to prevent bottom cartons or pallets from catching during the horizontal transfer.
Discharge

The re-palletized load exits to the downstream or collection conveyor under WCS scheduling, and the emptied pallet leaves the transfer zone for stacking or dismantling.

Technical & RFQ Data

Protection & Control

Safety & Operation

Alignment and height sensors

Alignment and height sensors check each load before transfer; loads outside the detected limits are routed to the bypass section rather than pushed through.

Integrated safety interlocks

Safety interlocks integrate with upstream and downstream conveyors: the pushing action halts instantly if infeed-zone photo-eyes or AGV docking sensors are breached.

Guarding and access control

Guarding, emergency stops, and access control follow the final engineering design and your local requirements; confirm the safety scope at quotation.

Daily operation

Daily operation runs through the line control under WCS scheduling; operator attention centers on the AGV handoff point and new-pallet stock.

Application Check

When a High-Speed Pallet Changing Line Fits

Routing Condition	Selection Guidance
Load must stay level	If goods must not be lifted, tilted, or clamped at any point, the pushing mechanism matches — the load moves sideways only.
Load tolerates rotation	Where goods can be clamped and rotated together with the pallet, V-shape pallet changers, 95° tilters, and 180° inverters are the alternative families; compare them before choosing a pushing line.
Throughput and flow	For high rates on an existing conveyor flow, an inline line keeps loads moving through the swap station; for batch volumes on a standalone station, a standalone pushing-type pallet changer is the simpler choice.
Pallet logistics	If your plant already runs AGVs, the AGV pallet supply and WCS scheduling on this line fit that flow.

Typical uses: repalletizing onto destination or export pallets, removing damaged or nonconforming pallets from a continuous flow, and switching between wood and plastic pallets where a downstream area requires a specific type. Confirm load suitability per project.

Application Boundaries

Limits to Check Before Ordering

Load rating

The published rating for this line is up to 1000 kg. Confirm gross weight with pallet in your inquiry so the rating is matched to your load.

Pushability

Goods must be flat, stable, and self-supporting when pushed sideways — rigid boxes, uniformly stacked cartons, or slip-sheeted drums — with a minimum 30 mm edge overlap onto the receiving pallet deckboard. Loads with bulging lower tiers or interlocking bottom sacks require physical pushing tests against a sample before we can confirm the machine for your product.

Height

The inline section enforces a height limit and diverts over-limit loads to a bypass conveyor section with taller clearance; a standard limit value is not published and is set per project.

Conveyor interface

Infeed and discharge heights, widths, and flow direction must match your line; the representative Heavy Load Roller Conveyor is L1500 × W1200 × H850 mm, and interfaces are engineered per project.

AGV/WCS boundary

The AGV supplies pallets and aligns to the line conveyor; the WCS sorts and schedules. Signal division between your AGV fleet manager, WMS/WCS, and line control is defined per project; standard industrial Ethernet protocols are confirmed upon layout inquiry.

Achievable rate

Up to 55 pallets/hour is a rated ceiling; the real rate depends on load profile, AGV cadence, and upstream/downstream balance. Confirm per project.

Layout space

The representative supply scope includes the pallet changing modules and the Pallet Changer. Plan for the straight conveyor run these modules require, confirmed against your floor plan.

Common Questions

FAQ

1. Does the load get tilted or lifted during the change?

No. The pushing mechanism transfers the load horizontally from the old pallet onto the new one; no lifting, tilting, or clamping is used in the transfer.

2. How many pallets per hour can it handle?

The rated figure is up to 55 pallets per hour. The achievable rate for your load depends on load profile, AGV supply cadence, and line balance, and is confirmed per project.

3. Can it handle both wooden and plastic pallets in the same operation?

Yes. The system accepts both wood and plastic pallets and can adapt to different pallet sizes and types. Specific pallet deckboard configurations and switching recipes are confirmed per project.

4. What minimum overlap is needed to push goods safely?

A minimum edge overlap of 30 mm onto the target pallet deckboard is required to maintain stability during the horizontal move and prevent edge snagging.

5. What happens to a load that is too tall?

The height detection device measures every load; goods above the limit are routed to a bypass conveyor section with taller clearance rather than pushed through. The limit value for your layout is set per project.

6. How are new pallets supplied, and does it connect to a WCS?

An AGV supplies new pallets — single or up to 10 stacked — and aligns automatically with the line conveyor. The line connects to discharge/collection conveyors and supports WCS sorting and scheduling; control boundaries are engineered per project.

7. What is the warranty?

The standard warranty is 1 year. An extended 2-year term applies only to selected models during promotional periods; confirm the term for your configuration at quotation.
