Abstract: The present invention provides for a side grip member for a conveyor system adaptable to connect to a specific link of a chain conveyor and to provide a relatively rigid gripping surface. The gripping surface formed on an object engaging section remains substantially rigid in use, and achieves resilience through a pair of flexible side wall members which support the gripping surface outwardly from the holder. The side members are able to flex when pressure, associated with an object to be transported, acts upon the gripping surface.
