Overhead Conveyors for Logistics
Use the space under the roof to move, store and sort goods while the floor stays free.
Move Goods Above the Floor
Floors in distribution centres are crowded with people, racks and vehicles.
Overhead conveyors carry goods between areas, hold them in buffers under the roof and sort them by order or destination, without crossing traffic on the floor.
Where we help

Transport
Long overhead routes between buildings and floors.
Storage
Overhead lanes as buffers.
Sorting
Switches route carriers by order or destination.

Our advice
Recommended Systems
| Area | Recommended system | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Long routes | Chain or power and free | Low cost per metre |
| Sorting | Power and free with switches | Routing and sequencing |
| Picking stations | Electric monorail | Precise stops |
| Light goods | Light rail systems | Low structural loads |
Can overhead conveyors work with AGVs?
Yes. Transfer stations hand goods between overhead lines and AGVs or floor conveyors.
Can the conveyor connect to our WMS?
Yes. Routing and tracking data are exchanged through agreed interfaces.
How do you handle peak volumes?
With buffers and enough carriers sized from your peak, not your average.
