The inserter (also known as yellow inserter, or basic inserter) can be used to transfer items between entities such as transport belts and stones furnaces. It is the most basic electric inserter.

Unlike the fast inserter, the inserter is not able to pick up items from express transport belts or from the farthest sides of any turning transport belt.
