About Roach
Roach Manufacturing Corporation was founded in 1953 by Gay Roach Sr. in Trumann, Arkansas, with the original purpose of building heavy-duty conveyors to transport and weigh bulky cotton bales. The company's first patented product, the EZE-Weigh cotton bale weighing system, established its engineering credentials early on. Over the following decades Roach expanded beyond the cotton industry, growing its conveyor division with a strong focus on package handling before formally marketing the business under the Roach Conveyors trade name. Today the company operates out of multiple facilities in Trumann and Caraway, Arkansas, totaling nearly one million square feet of manufacturing, warehousing, and distribution space.
Roach Conveyors offers a wide product lineup built around package, pallet, and floor conveying. Core lines include belt conveyors such as the 751RB heavy-duty roller bed and the 796RB medium-duty roller bed, slider bed models like the 450BOS box-style unit, and a full range of live roller and line shaft driven conveyors in straight, curved, spur, and switch configurations. Accumulation is addressed through the Smart Zone zero-pressure platform, with models including the SZD192CDA medium-duty and SZA251CDA heavy-duty chain-driven accumulators. Flexible conveying is covered by the PowerFlex powered flexible conveyor and the WheelFlex gravity flexible conveyor, while the Gator Singulator handles high-speed parcel de-scrambling and single-file discharge. The TL2 Truckloader and the 700RT plastic belt series round out the specialty lineup.
Roach Conveyors serves a broad cross-section of industries including parcel and e-commerce fulfillment, food and beverage processing, retail distribution, automotive parts handling, laundry operations, lumber and building products, glass and solar manufacturing, and general industrial manufacturing. The company's ability to engineer custom solutions for extreme loads — including systems rated to move up to 20,000 pounds of steel — makes it a go-to source for demanding or non-standard applications across North America.
Buyers seeking used Roach conveyors on the secondary market consistently cite the brand's heavy-gauge steel construction, precision-machined components, and in-house manufacturing standards as reasons these machines hold up well after years of continuous operation. Because Roach is a true OEM that produces a high percentage of parts internally and maintains ISO 9001:2015 certification, replacement components are traceable and available, reducing downtime risk for used equipment buyers. The combination of robust build quality, a wide range of standard configurations, and strong parts support makes used Roach belt conveyors, roller conveyors, and accumulation systems an attractive value for facilities looking to expand or reconfigure material handling lines at a fraction of new-equipment cost.

Roach Conveyors is known for heavy-duty, American-made conveyor systems built for continuous industrial use. Founded in 1953 in Trumann, Arkansas, the company is recognized for vertically integrated manufacturing, ISO 9001:2015 certified quality standards, and a broad product range spanning belt, roller, gravity, accumulation, and flexible conveyors for warehousing, distribution, and specialty industrial applications.
What types of conveyors does Roach manufacture?
Roach manufactures belt conveyors, live roller conveyors, gravity conveyors, line shaft driven conveyors, zero-pressure accumulation conveyors, flexible conveyors, singulation conveyors, plastic belt conveyors, and specialty units such as truckloaders and chain drag conveyors. The lineup covers light-duty package handling through heavy-duty pallet and industrial load applications.
Are used Roach conveyors a good investment?
Used Roach conveyors are widely regarded as a strong secondary-market value because of the brand's heavy-gauge steel construction and in-house component manufacturing, which supports long service life even after years of continuous operation. Roach's status as a true OEM with traceable, available replacement parts also reduces maintenance risk, making used Roach belt conveyors and roller conveyors a cost-effective way to expand or reconfigure a material handling line.
