At Runners Sliding Door Systems, you find the finest quality of overhead conveyor systems and solutions. Overhead conveyors are an excellent solution for close packing and storing multiple parts between processes. These systems have been designed such that they maximize the use of floor space in addition to the unused overhead space. Overhead conveyor systems and solutions utilize a single rail, manual or driven, from which the subsequent conveying means and load handling takes place over all the work areas. Overhead conveyor systems and solutions by runners-uk have been designed such that they can be installed to follow any kind of continuous path, are capable of changing direction both horizontally as well as vertically. At runners-uk, the relevant material can be supplied in either enclosed track or I-Beam construction based upon weight capacity and application.

Overhead power and free conveyors by runners-uk offer operators supreme flexibility for multiple parts and processes. Using these will help them start and stop parts easily, operate at multiple speeds, divert to multiple locations as and when they want and also provide part-tracking options whenever necessary. These systems make use of pusher dogs to engage as well as disengage connections between chains and trolleys. Conveyor systems and solutions at Runners Sliding Door Systems are designed with standard, bolt together and pre-fabricated components to reduce the cost of installation and make the accommodation of future line modifications easier. Our range of products include the runway track, overhead tracks, industrial rail track and tracked conveyors.

Some of the applications for which runners-uk manufactures the overhead track system and free track conveyor systems include paint and finishing lines, empty carton and tote handling, garment handling, accumulation of parts, greenhouse, creative displays and woodworking etc. The overhead tracking system by runners-uk has been designed for a wide range of industrial material handling operations such as parts handling, overhead storage and assembly lines in manufacturing and empty carton handling systems in distribution centers. In the finishing sector, they are used to move products through processing such as spray-painting, dip painting, plating, e-coating, powder coating, cleaning and sandblasting. The conveyors also serve other multiple purposes such as garment handling etc.

The plant floor space of a new manufacturing facility or even an existing one functional for many years always benefits from these systems. These also ensure safe and effective forklift movement, besides accounting for smooth product flow, processing and packaging management. They help open up the plant floor by maximizing available square footage, improving personnel and lift truck flow, creating layout and construction options unavailable with ground-level systems and moving products manually. These systems help avoid situations such as workplace congestion, crowded machinery, traffic jam, bottlenecks by helping improve flows and in the process, also helping avert possible accidents.

How do different industries benefits from these systems?

*  The warehousing and distribution sector experiences greater accuracy and faster order fulfillment processing.

* The food and beverage industry experiences a flexible production environment and greater performance because of the handling equipment.

*  The automotive industry experiences precise material handling and sequencing systems for specialized automotive applications.

* The freight & parcel industry experiences higher speed and accuracy as far as item processing is concerned.
