Overhead conveyors can save time, money and valuable floor space when used to deliver or remove empty cartons and totes.

If your warehouse or distribution center handles split case (or less than carton) picking operations, this application will be of particular interest to you. PACLINE has supplied many customers in the distribution / fulfillment business with overhead monorail conveyor solutions.

PACLINE's empty carton and tote handling systems can be used for:

• Delivering empty cartons/totes to picking and packing areas
• Removal of trash cartons to automatic corrugated baling systems
• Recycling of empty cartons and totes
• Combination systems: delivery of new empty cartons while simultaneously removing trash cartons using the same conveyor

For over 40 years PACLINE OVERHEAD CONVEYORS has provided material handling solutions aimed at helping customers improve key performance measurements such as productivity, cost control, safety and ergonomics.

PACLINE's signature conveyor, the PAC-LINE™ enclosed track system is one of the most versatile conveyors in the industry. The PAC-LINE™ system has been used in a wide range of applications from manufacturing to warehousing. PACLINE has installed more than 2 million feet of conveyors worldwide.

You can visit PACLINE at ProMat Booth #S154 or contact a PACLINE engineer to discuss new ideas to improve productivity for your split case picking operation. For more information visit: https://www.pacline.com/
