Overhead Conveyor System Manufacturer – Statfield

Intralogistics

Over 50% savings on time for 3PL and 4PLs

Handling of fully filled, half filled or empty cartons is the least efficient area of the distribution center. The man-hours consumed per order are the highest in the entire warehouse. Careful consideration of the methods employed for your carton handling will allow you to maximize your profits. Statfield overhead conveyors along with tackles and carriers to handle carton boxes or plastic crates enable easy handling and faster packaging of the materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can an overhead conveyor improve efficiency in my warehouse or distribution center?
By moving goods overhead, our conveyor creates a continuous, automated flow that eliminates manual cart handling and forklift congestion. This directly speeds up order fulfillment, reduces travel time between picking zones, and minimizes bottlenecks, leading to a higher throughput of goods.
We have limited floor space. How much space can this system actually save?
Overhead conveyors unlock the unused vertical space in your facility. By transporting goods above workstations, aisles, and other equipment, they can free up 100% of the floor space previously used for horizontal conveyor lines. This space can be repurposed for additional shelving, packing stations, or valuable staging areas.
Can it integrate with our existing Warehouse Management System (WMS) or other automation?
Yes. Statfield overhead conveyors can be equipped PLC controls that seamlessly communicate with your automation systems. This provides real-time tracking of cartons and totes, enabling automated sorting, routing, and inventory updates.
Is it suitable for handling finished goods from production to the shipping dock?
Absolutely. This is a primary application. Our systems provide a direct, high-speed route for moving finished pallets, cartons or totes from manufacturing or assembly lines directly to the packaging, palletizing and shipping areas, streamlining the entire outbound logistics process.
What types of intralogistics loads can it transport?

Our systems are highly versatile and can be configured to transport:

  • Individual cartons and e-commerce totes
  • Packaged goods on carrier bars
  • Completed pallets (using special pallet carriers)
  • Garments on hanging rails
  • Components for kitting and assembly
What is the typical Return on Investment (ROI) for an intralogistics overhead conveyor?

ROI is achieved through:

Labor Reduction: Automating material transport reduces manual labor costs.

Throughput Increase: Moving more goods per hour directly increases revenue capacity.

Error Reduction: Automated tracking minimizes mis-sorts and lost items.

Space Savings: Avoiding costly facility expansions by utilizing existing cube.

Most customers see a full ROI within 1-3 years, depending on the scale of the operation.
