Manual or Automatic Overhead Conveyor Systems
Depending on the type of business you’re involved in, you may benefit more from automatic overhead conveyors than manual ones, or vice-versa. At Runners, our systems are available as automatic with an overhead conveyor drive unit, or as a manual operation hanging conveyor, allowing you to choose the best tool for your specific needs. Either way, all our conveyor systems are smooth-running, durable and always reliable.
Plus, overhead conveyor systems from Runners are built to be easy to install and virtually maintenance-free, meaning you can spend more time focusing on your important work and less time worrying about being able to move products from A to B effectively.
A wide range of components, rollers, hooks, and hangers enables many configurations of this key piece of material handling equipment that cleverly makes use of the often-overlooked space in the ceilings of warehouse buildings.
MultiRail from Runners is the perfect solution for overhead conveyor systems. Take a look at our product options below to find the best solution for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need manual overhead conveyors or automatic overhead conveyors?
This depends on several factors, including the types of materials you need to move, how far they need to move, the number of materials and the involvement of your workforce. For example, a large warehouse with an impressive production line churning out thousands of items per day would likely benefit from automated overhead conveyor systems. Whereas smaller operations, like butcher shops, could have all the smooth runnings they need with a manual system.
If you’re unsure which system is right for you, get in touch with the Runners team today and we’d be happy to offer our expertise and point you in the right direction.

Will overhead conveyors help my business work faster?
If your business involves moving large, heavy items between different stations, chances are overhead conveyors would help you massively. By eliminating the need for human workers to pick up the items (or have to load them onto carts) and move them between different points on your premises, you’re saving both time and energy that can be put to better use.
Plus, the smoothness of the conveyors means even the heaviest of objects will glide effortlessly, as if they were sliding along a frozen lake.
