Powerful & Flexible Conveyor Systems Richards-Wilcox OveR-Way conveyors combine power and free flexibility with a heavy duty over and under configuration. Utilizing the time proven effectiveness of Zig-ZagŪ power conveyors and the durability of two 3" toe-to-toe load channels, OveR-Way is the ideal high capacity solution for transporting and storing work in process.

Manufactured and stocked in modular components, OveR-Way is pre-welded at the factory to ensure unparalleled precision and quick turnaround on fast-track projects.

Eleven Standard Zig-Zag Components.
Over-Way uses the same standard components as Richards-Wilcox chain conveyors.

Rugged Design.
Over-Way's load track consists of two 3", 4.1 pound, toe-to-toe channels for high-wear applications.

Control Systems.
Over-Way is available with any of a variety of state-of-the-art control components, ranging from simple PLC-based controls to complex PC-based routing and tracking systems.

Capacities.
Single Over-Way carriers support loads up to 1,000 pounds, while multiple carriers can handle loads up to 2,000 pounds.

Modular Components.
Over-Way components are modular and factory-stocked to minimize lead times for fast-track projects.

**Made in the U.S.A.

BENEFITS:

Controls Production Rates.
Over-Way optimizes production by ensuring that the right parts arrive at the correct operation in a continuous flow, especially when rates of production differ between operations.

Maintains Quality.
Over-Way eliminates needless product rehandling and manual transporting by accomplishing finishing and/or assembly processes with a single material handling system.

Boosts Efficiency.
Over-Way maintains a traveling record of work-in-progress, logging information on where product has been and where defects may have occurred.

Creates Usable Space.
Over-Way frees up valuable floor space for more value-added operations by organizing product flow and efficiently utilizing available space overhead.

Protects Product and Parts.
Over-Way uses an enclosed track that prevents contaminants from falling onto the product. It also protects the chain from dirt, abrasives and solvents, prolonging chain life.
