Flat-Top conveyors are comprised of plates attached to strands of large-diameter flanged wheels on which finished vehicles are conveyed. Flat-Top conveyors are usually mounted within a pit, so that the plates are flush with the floor.

Flat-Top conveyors are normally utilized for conveying completed vehicles, however, special systems are also utilized to provide accumulation or stopping of trucks and skuks between chain-on-edge systems.

The path of the conveyor is normally made of straight runs. A main and one stand-by drive power the unit and individual strand take-ups remove chain slack. Conveyor length depends upon the application and component capacities, but generally has very few physical limitations.
