Why Choose Overhead Conveyors?
Optimizing production space is crucial for efficiency and productivity. Overhead conveyors offer an innovative solution by utilizing unused vertical space, freeing up valuable floor space for other operations. These systems are widely used in manufacturing, warehousing, and retail industries for transporting materials in a continuous and controlled manner.
How Overhead Conveyors Work
Overhead conveyors consist of a continuous track suspended from ceiling supports, with pendants or trolleys that hold and move products. Depending on the application, these conveyors can transport light materials like garments or heavy-duty parts for assembly lines.
Key Benefits of Statfield Overhead Conveyors

4. Megarail Conveyor
- Similar to Transrail but optimized for high-load capacity and flexible movement.
5. Power & Free Conveyor
- Twin-track system for controlled movement of materials.
- Upper track carries a continuously moving chain, while the lower track enables flexible material handling with push-pawl trolleys.
Choosing the Right Overhead Conveyor System
To determine the best system for your facility, consider the following:
- Load Capacity: What type of products will be transported?
- Speed Requirements: How fast should materials be moved between workstations?
- Environmental Factors: Will the conveyor be exposed to dirt, paint, or temperature variations?
Integration with - Existing Processes: Does it need to align with manufacturing or assembly line workflows?
