The Overhead Skid Conveyor System is a heavy-duty, high-precision material handling system used primarily in the automotive industry. In this system, vehicle bodies or large components are placed on standardized skids, which are then transported through the production line using powered overhead conveyors, typically via power & free, chain-driven, or friction drive mechanisms.
Unlike floor-based skid conveyors, the overhead skid version lifts the entire structure, allowing for floor-level workspace utilization, easier cleaning, and clear access for automation or robots.
