About Rail Systems...
Rails are available in three different materials and five different sizes to meet your specific material handling needs. The enclosed Rail Systems design reduces the accumulation of dirt and grime on the internal rolling surfaces, which reduces rolling effort. Combine rail systems with air balancers and end effectors to create a versatile, efficient material handling system.
- Balancers mount to rail systems in multiple configurations
- Standard 24' x 10' rail systems are offered here, but many other sizes, styles, and balancer options are available
- Balancers mount by trolley or hook configurations
- Rail systems can mount parallel or perpendicular to overhead support steel. To ensure your supports can bear the weight of a rail and balancer system and its load, consult a qualified engineer
- Provides rectangular coverage for a single workstation or an entire assembly line with multiple bridge cranes
Rail and balancer system, underhung from ceiling supports does not occupy valuable floor space.
Steel structure for floor support allows you to place a bridge crane anywhere you have a physical footprint regardless of ceiling structure.

Hangers
We offer a wide variety of hangers to attach to virtually any type of overhead steel. Available in either rigid or pivoting styles, to match the material handling operation.
End Trucks
We offer both articulating and rigid end trucks, but primarily focus on articulating models. This feature maximizes the ability of the user to precisely position loads by allowing them to move only the portion of the bridge crane near the load.
Advanced Trolley Design:
Trolleys are designed to work in conjunction with the enclosed track rail to reduce the rolling effort required to move a load. In fact, a force equal to only 1% of the total rolling weight is needed to move a load.
