The Steerable Roller Difference

More contact. More control. More capabilities.

Most steerable wheel sorters use small sets of widely spaced wheels with narrow contact points that perform simple directional functions to divert packages. Our steerable roller technology provides better contact, more accurate control, and technologically advanced capabilities that scale with your operation and deliver real results.
