Efficient & Expandable Material Handling. The Richards-Wilcox Safe-Rail monorail conveyor system is the ideal solution for hand-push transport and storage applications. Developed in the 1930's, it provides an excellent starting point for mechanized product handling.
Constructed of standard Richards-Wilcox components, Safe-RailŪ can be added onto at any time to build a more sophisticated power monorail or power & free conveyor system. Because of its compatibility with all other R-W overhead conveyors, conversion time is minimal and higher levels of productivity and efficiency are achieved almost immediately.

TYPICAL
SAFE-RAIL APPLICATIONS:
- Batch Paint Systems
- Tire Retread Systems
- Synthetic Fiber Handling
- Light-Duty Bridge Cranes
- Manual Transport and Assembly
BENEFITS:
Maintains Quality.
Safe-Rail is a hand-push transport and storage alternative
to manual rehandling of product. This decreases the potential
for loss or damage.
Utilizes Space Efficiently.
Safe-Rail frees up vital floor space, providing movement throughout
a facility and allowing for organized product flow.
Maximizes Product Storage.
Safe-Rail provides dedicated storage in user specified area.
This system eliminates wasted space and efficiently stores
product in an organized manner within the same work area,
day after day.
Reduces Product Damage and Worker Injury.
Since product is suspended from a Safe-Rail carrier, manual
rehandling of product is kept to a minimum, reducing the chance
of product damage. VMTs automatically raise and lower product,
eliminating injuries related to lifting and bending.
Increases System Life.
Safe-Rail's enclosed track protects carriers and runways from
dirt and other contaminants. In addition, Safe-Rail's sliding
frog plates support loads through switches providing both
smooth travel and longer switch life.
Facilitates Upgrades.
Safe-Rail components are compatible with all other Richards
Wilcox conveyor systems. As a result, Safe-Rail can be upgraded
to a Zig-Zag or Twin Trak system with 100 percent utilization
of existing parts.
