Discuss Your Overhead System All Project CategoriesJ+H Automation Solutions has engineered, built, and installed overhead and power-and-free conveyor systems for manufacturers across North America — including Jervis B. Webb®/Daifuku® Unibilt® enclosed track, power-and-free, and hand-pushed trolley systems, inverted power-and-free loops for 360-degree robotic and paint access, and heavy-duty Unibeam® I-beam conveyors for high-capacity loads. As a Top 3 Daifuku® Unibilt®/Unibeam® distributor nationwide, J+H integrates overhead systems for loads from light parts to 3,000-pound assemblies.
Overhead Systems That Free the Floor & Pace Production
Overhead conveyance is a J+H specialty. Power-and-free systems accumulate loads, switch and reroute product, and pace production speeds while keeping the floor clear — and J+H handles the full scope in-house: design, fabrication, controls, run-off, and installation by our own field crews. These case studies represent real installed systems for manufacturers in the industries we serve.
The overhead portfolio demonstrates proven capability across:
- Unibilt® enclosed track & power-and-free systems
- Heavy-duty Unibeam® I-beam conveyors for high-capacity loads
- Inverted power-and-free loops for robotic & paint applications
- Overhead finishing, paint line & evacuation loop systems
- Hand-pushed trolley & assembly line overhead conveyance
