I'd agree with Ron, I would not expect any sprinklers below, unless there is potential for accumulation of combustible materials under the conveyor. But a good housekeeping plan can rectify that issue.

The conveyors have 2 1/2" rollers and there is a gap of 3 1/2" between the rollers, my call is that additional ESFR's are not required there is more open space than in most rack systems. What is the opinion of the Forum?
