Overhead Conveyors

Case Study

Fairfield Chair (furniture plant)

Project: An automatic overhead conveyor system that quickly conveys chair frames from the 1st floor to the 3rd floor of warehouse.

The customer was designing a new layout for the production and warehousing area of their plant. In the new layout, the third floor became the storage area for product produced on the first floor. AEC designed a Unibeam Overhead Conveyor System that starts on the first floor at the end of the production lines and travels through the second floor to the third floor. On the third floor, the overhead conveyor system runs near the existing overhead conveyor system and back down to the production area. The workers can take the chair frame off the new overhead conveyor system and locate the frame to the proper location, whether it is on the existing conveyor or a staging location.
