Maximizing Space & Efficiency
When floor space is limited, overhead bi-planar conveyors offer an ideal solution by utilizing vertical space without disrupting workflow. These dual-rail conveyor systems ensure smooth, controlled movement across workstations, making them essential in industries handling automotive parts, heavy components, or high-volume shipments.
Types of Overhead Bi-Planar Conveyors
- Enclosed Track Conveyors – Designed for light to medium loads, these systems ensure safe and precise transportation with minimal friction.
- Power and Free Conveyors – Featuring a twin-track system, these conveyors allow independent movement of multiple loads, making them perfect for high-volume, heavy-duty applications.
No matter your operational requirements, Wainwright provides tailored overhead conveyor solutions to enhance efficiency and streamline processes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the weight capacity per pendant on an overhead bi-planar system?
Pendant capacity varies by chain pitch and system design. Wainwright engineers your overhead conveyor to meet your exact load requirements for each carrier.
Are bi-planar conveyors suitable for automated powder-coating lines?
Absolutely. Overhead biplanar conveyors are a proven choice for powder coating lines, reliably handling heat, overspray, and continuous loop operation.
What are the tensioning requirements for long-loop overhead conveyors?
Long-loop overhead conveyor systems require gravity or screw tensioners to compensate for chain elongation and maintain consistent drive engagement throughout the loop.
How do I calculate the drive power needed for a multi-directional overhead line?
Drive power accounts for total chain weight, load, incline angles, and speed. Our team sizes bi-planar conveyor drives to your layout specifications.
