Overhead Conveyor

An overhead conveyor is a motorized chain system that moves objects above the ground to transport parts, products, and supplies. They are often used in production facilities to move items from one place to another.

Features & Benefits

  • Free up valuable floor space by utilizing vertical space for conveyance
  • Reduce travel time by transporting goods directly to operators
  • Improve ergonomics and reduce lifting or bending by suspending parts from overhead conveyor for assembly processes
  • Versatile solutions to support a variety of applications and processes
Working principle

How the overhead conveyor works

A motorized chain runs along an overhead track, with hangers or fixtures carrying parts above the work floor directly to each operator or process station.

STEP 01
Motorized chain drives the track
A continuous chain moves along the overhead track at a steady, controlled pace.
STEP 02
Parts hang from fixtures
Hooks or hangers suspend parts, products or supplies above the floor.
STEP 03
Track routes over the floor
Vertical space carries the load, keeping the floor clear for people and equipment.
STEP 04
Delivers straight to the operator
Goods arrive directly at each station, cutting travel time and manual handling.
