Suitable for different applications and operations
Suitable for inbound and outbound operations, the Swiveler Wheel Diverter can be fully adapted according to physical building constraints.
The Swiveler is bidirectional, meaning it can run in both directions according to the sorting shift (inbound or outbound).
The Swiveler Wheel Diverter enables merging and diverting of a wide range of items of various sizes, shapes and weights, always keeping items in proper alignment. It is best suited for implementation within postal, courier logistics, distribution centers and e-commerce solutions.
