Overhead Conveyors

Zig-Zag Monorail
Overhead Conveyors
Richards-Wilcox invented the original enclosed track conveyor. Using standard modular components constructed for long life, Zig-Zag overhead conveyors solve a variety of manufacturing problems. From simple in-line finishing systems to complex storage and retrieval systems, Zig-Zag overhead conveyors are an efficient and economical solution. Zig-Zag overhead conveyors protects the products and parts, increases throughput, simplifies installation and maintenance, and maximizes floor space.

Safe-Rail Monorail
Overhead Conveyors
The Richards-Wilcox Safe-Rail overhead monorail conveyor System is the ideal solution for hand-push transport and storage applications. Safe-Rail overhead conveyors can be added onto at any time to build a more sophisticated power monorail or power & free conveyor system. Because of its compatibility with all other R-W overhead conveyors, conversion time is minimal and higher levels of productivity and efficiency are achieved almost immediately.

PaintLine Inverted Monorail
Overhead Conveyors
Richards-Wilcox Inverted PaintLine overhead conveyor systems combine reliable, clean conveyor operations with the vertical flexibility made possible only through the unique design of Richards-Wilcox Inverted Pendants. Unlike a rigid pendant, the investment cast Inverted Pendant pivots forward and backward on the wheel axle to allow free rotation up to 30 degrees with no torque or wear on the chain assembly. The PaintLine Inverted overhead conveyor system is ideal in production environments where clean operation is essential.

3” & 4” I-Beam Monorail
Overhead Conveyors
Richards-Wilcox I-Beam monorail conveyor systems combine flexibility of design with heavy duty capacity. Utilizing the proven reliability of 3" and 4" I-Beam load channels, Richards-Wilcox I-Beam monorail overhead conveyors are an ideal high-capacity solution for transporting and storing work-in-process. Manufactured and stocked in modular components, Richards-Wilcox I-Beam monorail overhead conveyor systems ensure unparalleled precision, ease of movement, and quick turnaround on fast track projects.

OveR-Way Heavy Duty
Over and Under
Overhead Conveyors
Richards-Wilcox OveR-Way overhead conveyors combine power and free flexibility with a heavy duty over and under configuration. Utilizing the time proven effectiveness of Zig-Zag, overhead power conveyors and the durability of two 3” toe-to-toe load channels, OveR-Way overhead conveyors are the ideal high-capacity solution for transporting and storing work in process. Manufactured and stocked in modular components, OveR-Way overhead conveyors are pre-welded at the factory.

Inverted OverR-Way
Floor Mounted Conveyors
Richards-Wilcox OveR-Way Inverted Power & Free conveyors combine power and free capability with the ergonomic flexibility of floor mounted systems. OveR-Way Inverted conveyors offer an ideal medium-capacity solution where cleanliness and/or robotic interfaces are a major requirement. Manufactured and stocked in modular components, OveR-Way Inverted conveyors are pre-welded at the factory to ensure unparalleled precision.
