NestaFlex® 226 Flexible Conveyor Features
Engineered for retail store-level receiving, packaging stations, assembly lines, and low-to-medium-volume shipping and receiving departments, the NestaFlex® 22624008N is a 24-inch-wide flexible conveyor with red poly skate wheels and nylon bushings that contracts to 2 feet 4 inches for storage and expands to 8 feet 11 inches for operation. Three adjustable leg sets with 5-inch anti-static swivel casters position the surface between 28 and 44 inches. Poly skate wheels with nylon bushings provide quiet operation, floor protection, and moisture resistance with the same 226-pound-per-foot load capacity.
For curved layouts around columns or wall obstructions, the NestaFlex® 22624008N bends around a 21-inch inside radius — tighter than the 18-inch radius of the 376 series. An 11-gauge steel side link structure, zinc-plated square steel tubing legs with double welded cross braces, and 5/16-inch full-width axles provide structural integrity across the full adjustment range. Made in the USA by FMH Conveyors and backed by a 24-month warranty, each unit ships with a retractable package stop and one set of couplers.

Applications
To move cartons, cases, and totes in low-to-medium-volume environments, the NestaFlex® 22624008N is deployed in retail store receiving areas needing tight-corner conveyor runs, at packaging and fulfillment stations where poly wheels protect finished packaging, on assembly lines where quiet operation is required, in mail and parcel sorting operations, and in any application where the conveyor must contract to 2'4" for compact storage between cycles.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between poly skate wheels with nylon bushings and steel skate wheels with ball bearings?
Poly skate wheels with nylon bushings suit quiet environments, finished floors, and applications where wheel marking of package surfaces is a concern. Nylon bushings resist moisture better than steel ball bearings — preferred in retail back-of-house, food staging areas, and clean-room-adjacent facilities. Steel ball bearings provide lower rolling resistance under heavy loads, making them the choice for high-weight, high-volume throughput. Both wheel types carry identical 226 lb/ft capacity in the NestaFlex 226 series.
What minimum package size does the NestaFlex 22624008N support?
At standard 5.25-inch axle centers, the 22624008N handles packages 15 inches and larger. For smaller packages, NestaFlex offers 4-inch centers (12-inch minimum) and 3-inch centers (9-inch minimum). Closer spacings place more skate wheels per foot, preventing small packages from dipping between axles. The standard 5.25-inch spacing suits most carton, case, and tote sizes in retail and light distribution applications.
How does the 21-inch bend radius on the NestaFlex 226 compare to the 376 series?
At 21 inches inside radius, the 22624008N bends tighter than the 18-inch radius of the NestaFlex 376 series. A tighter radius is valuable in retail back-of-house environments and packaging rooms where columns, shelving, and walls create narrow pathways. For applications where curving around tight obstacles is the primary layout concern, the NestaFlex 226 provides more configurability than the heavier 376 series.
Can the NestaFlex 22624008N be connected to other NestaFlex sections?
Yes. One set of couplers is included for connecting to an adjacent NestaFlex section to extend total conveyor run length. Additional couplers are available separately. Within the 226 series, models cover expanded lengths from 8 feet 11 inches (this 3-leg-set 22624008N) up to 60 feet 1 inch — so the starting length matches space requirements and extends with additional sections as workflow demands change.
NestaFlex® 226 Series Family
The 22624008N is the 3-leg-set, 8-foot-11-inch configuration within the NestaFlex® 226 series. Longer sections up to 60 feet 1 inch (16 leg sets) are available in the same 24-inch-wide format, using the same part number structure. For heavier-duty applications at 376 pounds per foot with expanded lengths to 23 feet 2 inches, the NestaFlex® 37624024SAL steel skate wheel model is the high-capacity alternative. Both series are available at LabSupplies.com with authorized dealer pricing and one-business-day shipping from USA inventory.
