Trolley Conveyors

Trolley Conveyor is a series of trolleys with loads suspended from them, supported by an overhead track and connected by an endless propelling medium such as chain or cable. Trolley conveyor chain is used to carry goods hung under ceiling. As being used three dimensionally, chain can run winding horizontally and vertically. Multi driving points will allow chain system extended to long distance.

Trolley conveyor is a continuously operating device for moving various, primarily packaged and piece, materials within a shop. It consists of a enclosed, suspended, single-rail track, moving trolleys (carriages) with cargo hangers (hooks, clamps, stands), a tension device, and a drive element such as a chain or, more rarely, a steel cable, which is secured to the trolleys and set in motion by one or several drive systems.
