| History
On February 2, 2004 Universal Sewing Supply acquired the Feedrail® product line from Thomas & Betts.
Prior to this time Universal competed with the Feedrail® product line with its own proprietary product line Electro-Rail®, only in reference to Feedrail® FRS100, FRS200 and FRS300 products.
The above products are today marketed, marked and packaged under both the Feedrail® (FRS) and Electro-Rail® (ERS) names and alpha-numeric numbering systems.

Feedrail® offers a complete line of Overhead Trolley and Plug-In Busway Electrification Systems. With almost 100 years in the business, we understand moving applications, and can address the questions and problems involved in selecting a power source that will move with your application.
A host of applications.
Feedrail® developed a moving source of electrification to answer the needs of the sewn products and automotive industries which were evolving into large, mass production processes. In sewn products, for example, movable power outlets were needed for sewing machines. As production layouts changed, rearranging of sewing equipment became much easier. Production was no longer delayed, and the end result was increased productivity.
 Feedrail® Systems have become more and more sophisticated over the years. You'll see them in abusive heavy-duty application such as steel mills and rapid transit systems. In high-tech industries, Feedrail® Electrification Systems are being used to perform testing and burn-in functions at electronic assembly plants.
No matter what your application, we can engineer a system to meet your electrification requirements. Systems are designed for indoor use in non-hazardous, non-corrosive, dry atmosphere.
Simple design leads to quick installation.
Feedrail® Systems are manufactured of standard units that are factory preassembled to save time on the installation site. Our systems install with just a wrench and a screwdriver.
