... a series of "skate" wheels mounted on parallel axles and supported at selected spacings between frame sections. They are used to convey packages and other flatbottomed objects by gravity or applied manual force.

Les transporteurs à galets (...) ont une inertie moindre que les transporteurs à rouleaux libres, aussi peut-on les faire fonctionner avec une très faible pente. Ces transporteurs sont obtenus en remplaçant chaque rouleau du transporteur [à rouleaux libres] par un axe supportant une série de galets. Ces galets peuvent être placés soit en ligne, soit en quinconce (...) et sont en principe en acier ou en plastique. 2, record 1, French, - transporteur%20%C3%A0%20galets
