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.
Can overhead conveyor systems move in any direction?
The versatility of overhead conveyor systems is one of the features that make them such an attractive option for countless businesses. Various hangers, fittings and joints are available, meaning at Runners, we can provide you with conveyor systems to match almost any layout imaginable.
Just let us know exactly what you need when you get in touch and we’ll help you figure out the precise system and parts you need for your operation to run smoothly.

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.
Can I purchase individual parts for overhead conveyor systems?
Absolutely. If you already have a multi-rail system installed and you know the specific parts you need, you can take a look at our available products to find the part you need to keep your rails moving smoothly. At Runners, we have a selection of track fittings, junctions and switches, multi-rail hangers and much more, all at excellent prices.
