Swedish term or phrase: palettbana

Example sentence: "Maskinens delar är sammanlänkade med en palettbana för transport av förpackningar mellan de olika stationerna."

I presume it is some sort of "conveyor belt" but is this word enough as a translation? When I google various terms I get companies that call them both "palletbana" och "palettbana" translated as "pallet conveyors", but I do not think the intention is a conveyor belt for pallets.

Notes to answerer

Asker: Thank you, as you probably saw in my orinal quistion I had already considered pallet conveyor. However I think I got confused with it being spelled "palett" in Swedish, even though it's got nothing to do with that word. Even more confusing is that there seems to be three different spellings in Swedish: "palettbana", "pallettbana" and "palletbana".

2 hrs confidence:

pallet slide

Explanation:
The fact that pallets are used might indicate that the pallets are forwarded with the aid of gravitation, i.e the 'bana' is sloping.
'Conveyor to me is either a moving band or a series of rollers, som of which are driving. With pallets, a suspended conveyor seems improbable.
