Overhead Conveyor Systems and Integration
Move product overhead and get the floor space back for production.
When there is no aisle left to give up, the route that’s still open is overhead. Conveyability designs and integrates overhead conveyor systems that turn, climb, buffer and deliver — carrying parts through cleaning, painting, heat treating, baking, assembly and storage without taking a square foot from production. Custom-built by our engineering team around the building you have.
Frees floor space by moving transport, buffering and staging overhead.
Handles heavy loads and odd shapes standard conveyor can’t.
Routes through processes — washing, coating, curing — as it travels.
Combined team member material handling experience.
Engineering, fabrication, controls, and installation.
Inspection, maintenance, repairs and training after startup.

Three Ways to Run an Overhead Line
The right drive depends on the load, the routing and how much the sequence changes.
Power & free
Carriers stop, queue and switch tracks independently while the chain keeps running — the answer for buffering, sequencing and routing through multiple processes.
Electrified monorail (EMS)
Self-powered carriers on a rail, each moving at its own speed. Fast, quiet and precise for assembly delivery and long transport runs.
Friction-driven power & free
Drive wheels move carriers without a chain — clean, quiet and modular, with gentle handling for finished surfaces.
Hang it once, and the shape stops mattering.
Overhead Is Where Odd Loads Behave.
Frames, weldments, bumpers, coils — parts that jam a belt hang cleanly from a carrier. Overhead systems are easily modified as production changes and can carry product through cleaning, painting and curing on the way, which is why they anchor so many finishing operations.
Steel, sprinklers, cranes and lights are the real drawing.
Designed Around Your Building, Not a Clean Ceiling.
An overhead route earns its keep only if it clears everything already up there. Conveyability surveys the structure, designs the supports and works the route around trusses, utilities and doors — then fabricates the odd pieces that make it fit.

Conveyability: Your First Call When the Floor Runs Out.
We put the route where the space actually is.
One team of top-tier problem solvers.
Start with what failed and what production is experiencing — not just the replacement part.
Speed, responsiveness and lead-time flexibility.
Service has to fit the urgency, shutdown window and reality of the operating plant.
Value engineering inside the real budget.
Repair what is worth repairing, modify what is causing the problem and upgrade only where the system has truly outgrown the old answer.
Custom plans built around the plant you have.
Legacy equipment, multiple manufacturers and incomplete drawings are normal inputs.
No passing the buck when the interfaces get messy.
Mechanical, controls, fabrication, installation and future support stay connected through one team.

Overhead Conveyor FAQs
Structure, loads, routing and living with production.
Can our building support an overhead system?
Usually — the question is where the loads land. We survey the steel and design supports, headers or floor-supported structure to carry the system safely.
How heavy can the carriers go?
From a few pounds to several tons per carrier depending on the system. Load, spacing and speed drive the track and chain selection.
Can the line buffer and sequence parts?
Power & free and EMS systems are built for it — carriers stop, queue, switch and re-sequence while the rest of the line keeps moving.
Can you route through paint or wash processes?
Yes. Carrying product through cleaning, coating and curing is one of the most common reasons to go overhead in the first place.
Can you install without stopping production?
Most overhead work is phased around production — nights, weekends and planned windows — because the floor below usually has to keep running.
Do you service overhead systems you didn’t install?
Yes. Inspection, chain and trolley maintenance, repairs and modifications on existing systems are a normal part of the work.
