Abstract

A case flow system consisting essentially of a roller bed arrangement equipped with a plurality of independent wheels disposed in a spaced-apart relationship along a set of steel axles joined to a pair of side rails. A plurality of inverted generally U-shaped support members extends from the rear to the front of each bed and is located adjacent to the wheels. A set of cross beams are disposed underneath and in contact with the support members so that the load on the bed may be transferred from the support members to the side rails while simultaneously reducing the load on the axles. The improvement in weight distribution is such that bearingless, inexpensive wheels may be used.
